Speaker #0Welcome back to Soul Sisters Sleep Meditations. Hey, hey Soul Sisters. Welcome back and happy Earth Day. What a glorious end. magical day to honor the earth and all that she provides to honor the earth and All the things she whispers to us to honor the earth and her wisdom before us. So with this meditation, allow me to guide you through a visualization as we explore. this earth together as we open our eyes to the living things and the living wisdom that is around us. Allow yourself to find a comfortable spot, a place where you feel safe. It's okay to let your guard down a bit. Allow yourself to take a deep breath in. and exhale out as we find our comfortable position and take this time to relax. Allow your eyes to close. Allow your tongue and your mouth to relax. releasing your tongue from the roof of your mouth, releasing your shoulders, allowing more space between your shoulders and your ears, allowing your chest to sink into your chair or into the ground. Wherever you may be sitting, allowing your legs to release any tension, allowing yourself to ground down and your feet, allowing your feet So wiggle them out a little along with your fingers allowing them to find a soft spot and releasing any tension you might be holding there. Allowing our bodies to Relax into the earth, taking a deep breath in, and with every exhale allowing all attention to be released now. Inhale again as we breathe in the precious oxygen provided to us by this clinic. And exhale out. It's just like a cycle of receiving with every inhale. And with exhale giving it away. Once again inhale in. We accept all the goodness and oxygen. And exhale. Give it away when you come down to the side and through the door. Once again, inhale in, then give it away. And receive, and give it away. Receive once more. give it away, continue this cycle, this pattern, giving and receiving. from the earth into the earth as we recognize that there is nothing but compassion and love is balance This balance of giving and receiving from the earth as we once again allow our bodies to ground down. simply relax in the comfort that is this earth, that is this planet, that is this home. as we ground down into the space and as we continue the cycle of receiving and giving allow ourselves to enter into this visualization imagine we are Outdoors touching grass, make the comfort the grass. Grass all around us, going for miles of mine. The grass is a little prickly, but nothing that's too harmful for you. The grass is. Exactly what you need in this moment. Whether you need a softened grass, prickly grass, a tall grass, a short grass. If you ever find your light came in this moment, allow yourself to be with the grass. And as you look around you, you see. Lots of tall trees. Maybe even your favorite trees. Evergreens, palm trees, banana trees. Magnolia trees, willow trees, any tree that you like. Imagine it surrounding you. Imagine it surrounding you in a circle. completely looking over you. And as we look up to these trees, as they stand tall and steady, as they stand strong, as they stand with their decades and maybe even hundreds of years of wisdom watching humans be humans. like the sequoia trees or the redwoods. Imagine as we gaze up into these trees, what could they be telling us in this moment? Notice how they stand strong. Notice how they reach up to the sun. Notice how they reach up to the stars. Reach up to the skies. Notice how they tell us to also reach for the sun, reach for the stars, reach for the skies. Repeat the following affirmations as you connect with these trees now, as you connect with Nature, I am powerful, just like a tree. I am immovable, just like a tree. I'm solid, just like a tree, and I reach for the sun, just like a tree. I express gratitude, just like a tree. Gratitude for the earth. the land that allows me to have a solid foundation. The earth allows me to have a strong root system, a strong foundation to live life with. I express gratitude for the earth. I appreciate her for her seasons. I love the earth and her natural resources and how she continues to give unconditionally. I aspire to be like Mother Earth, wise and always speaking, always speaking out as long as we listen. I love Mother Earth. and I respect her. I offer her love in the same way she offers me love with her plant medicines. her beautiful natural resources, her energy, her life force. We thank Mother Earth and all that she gives. I aspired to be like Mother Earth, just like the trees, strong, powerful, immovable. I reached for the sun and I don't give up on any of my aspirations. I stay connected to the energy that is Mother Earth, the cycles of giving and receiving, the cycles of being rooted in a strong foundation, knowing that there is no limit. to how high we can grow, knowing that there's no limit to how much we can grow. It's purely up to us as we channel the energy of Mother Earth as a creator. as wisdom, as love, who express eternal gratitude for the earth and her offerings by looking at the planet by looking at the energy of the nature all around us. We know deeply that we cannot be here without Mother Earth. So we express eternal gratitude and we allow ourselves to open our ears to what she has to say more often. We open up our ears to listen. to what Mother Earth has to say and the wisdom she is trying to so desperately she is trying to desperately bestow upon us. Thank you Mother Earth. Happy Earth Day.
