Welcome. This meditation supports the Stage Seven task of questioning everything. In this task you are challenged to question everything from your political stances, to societal norms, your life choices, and everything else. The hardest part of this task is maintaining your sanity and some sense of grounding while everything is thrown into uncertainty. This meditation will support keeping you grounded and sane while you question everything to find what is right for you.
Posture
Take a moment to get comfortable. You can sit or stand or lay down. It’s doesn’t matter. You can close your eyes or keep them open. Do what works for you.
Presence
Take a slow deep breath. Let it out like a sigh of relief. Be at peace. You are here now. Take another slow deep breath, and this time, send it out slowly, consciously, with purpose, all the way. Be at peace. You are here now. Pause and repeat these breaths until you feel relaxed and at peace.
Journey
Let’s begin. This is a stage of continual and rapid evolution. Each aspect of your life is being scrutinized to see what is right for you. How does your body feel? Does it feel swirling? Is it chaotic? Or stressful? This is natural. Even as we approach this stage again and again, and it becomes fun and innovation, it is naturally stressful.
Focus on your head. That swirling feeling. Yes. Lean into it. Allow it. If you want to move with it, do so. If you don’t want to, don’t.
Bring your attention now down to your throat. How does that feel? This is an expressive time in your life. There may be lots of energy there. Or it may feel blocked. Is there something you are not expressing? Express it to yourself right now and see how that feels.
Bring your attention now to your heart. Feel it beating. Give thanks for this. You are here now on this journey. Thank you. What feelings are there? There is a peace here. Can you sense it?
Come down now to the solar plexus, just above the belly button. It feels strong as you confidently question. It’s OK to seek your own truth.
One more step down into the sacral chakra… the pelvic bowl. Things are so calm here. Stay in this place for a while.
If you can, imagine dropping down into the earth. Down…. down… down… deep into the earth. Past roots, dirt and stones…. past decades gone by… deep in the earth, there is no sound… no feeling but peace and calm… hidden away…. this is a place where you can take a break from the world above… your own private cocoon.
If it is challenging, don’t worry. Just practice. Deeper each time. Let’s spend a little time here in the silence…
On the way back up now, when you reach your legs, imagine you are carrying earth up with you… like pulling dirt and stone right up into your legs. A little bit of your earth cocoon to take with you.
Now how does your body feel? This is grounded. Feel gratitude for this feeling.
Return
When you are ready, bring your awareness back to your surroundings. Notice how you feel. Take this feeling with you and return to it anytime you like. Whenever a day feels crazy, take a minute to ground yourself. Connect with the earth and feel its peace. Send it your crazy and allow it to absorb that for you. Try it! It will keep you sane as you question.
