the meditation to you or record it and play it back. It’s important to take your time and have pauses during the meditation to gain the full benefit. Allow the feelings, emotions and thoughts to come up to clear.
Root Chakra Mediation
Close your eyes, take a nice long deep breath in, hold and exhale.
Take another deep breath in and feel all the muscles of your body relaxing muscle by muscle, as you exhale let go of all the stresses, worries or cares of the day.
Feel the heaviness of your eyes as they relax, relaxing so much that it’s impossible to open at this time.
In your mind’s eye, imagine the sun above your head, bright and bold. Feel the warmth of the sun on your head. Take the warmth and pull it down through your body, relaxing the muscles as you do, lingering in any areas that you feel any tightness or tension. Let the warmth penetrate deep into the muscle releasing the fears and anxieties that reside there. Feel your body as it melts into the chair that you are sitting on.
Let the warmth of the sun travel down your legs like a gentle river flowing into all the necessary areas. Feel this flow go into mother earth like the roots of a tree, strengthening your being and your soul allowing your body and mind to be in perfect balance. As the beats of mother earth resonate through your existence you bask in this energy.
Take a few minutes and enjoy all that life has to offer, enjoy the beauty of mother earth.
As the magic of mother earth embraces you, nourishes your soul and replenishes your body,
allow your body to go deeper, deeper towards the core of mother earth. Feel the heat and power of the magma, as this washes over you it restores you. Let the energy blend with you and become you absorbing the qualities and properties of mother earth. Feel the connection to mother earth and the abundance of life force that connects your root chakra to mother earth and all that she has. Feel as one with the universe, feel complete and whole.
Take a few minutes to truly absorb this amazing energy, which now you have connected with can reconnect with at any time.
It’s now time to journey back, bringing with you, the energy you have found in mother earth. Your view of mother earth and her uniqueness has changed, your view on life has new meaning of beauty and simplicity.
Begin to feel the room in which you sit and the chair you are on. Feel your toes and fingers, feel the awareness return to your body. When you are ready, open your eyes.
Wow, what a powerful meditation! Your mind will feel so clear and a new sense of clarity and perspective. We often neglect the beauty the power and significance of mother earth and what she has to offer. We don’t pay her as much attention as we should and our world is constantly harming her. As you become more aware pay attention to how she behaves, are the earthquakes that happen and tsunamis that have occurred really a big surprise?! Could it be her way of bringing people back together and our sense of community spirit that has been lost? Is it away of clearing the land getting rid of the old and preparing for the new? Could it be karma being repaid to areas that have really hurt and damaged her, food for thought!!
Being grounded on your journey is important as it helps to keep you focused and provide clarity into your insights. It helps to keep you balanced between spirit and reality, keeping us in the now and the present moment.
Signs when we need grounded are when we begin to daydream, feeling dizzy for no apparent reason, even arguing and not getting your point across, when you recognise any of these then redo the mediation or the visualisation earlier to ground you back to earth.
Tools to help on your journey
Crystals are another tool that you can use to help on your spiritual journey. Crystals linked to the root chakra are ruby, garnet, bloodstone, diamond and hematite. Meditating with crystals can also be beneficial as they can take you on a fascinating journey and tell you a story. Carry the crystals with you and feel the qualities of the stone calm and ground you. These crystals are just suggestions relating to the chakra. What I find when choosing a crystal to work with, go with the crystal you are drawn to as there will be a reason as to why it resonates with you.
A year or two ago, I was at a local body and soul event where local traders of crystals, psychics, mediums and other new age people come together for the occasion. One such time I attended one with my youngest son, he had some money and was dying to spend it, so he had a look around and then when back to the stalls that had the crystals he was drawn to. At that particular time when we attended, he had been suffering from knee and lower back issues after falling from his bike and he was receiving physiotherapy for it. Anyway, all the crystals he picked that day were to do with spinal realignment. I was gobsmacked when I got home and checked them out, red jasper was his favourite and is known as the worry bead which was relevant to him at that time. It also cleanses the blood and the circulatory system which he would have needed to help the damage he had done to the area. The other crystal I remember he bought a few pieces of was selenite, which is good for the calming of the mind and realigning the spinal column and strengthening the skeletal system, which amazed me. He was a young boy of nine years and he had tapped into his intuition and the subtle energies of the crystals and selected the ones that would heal his body.
I do know that after using them he felt much better, the pain subsided quiet substantially and only required a few more sessions of physiotherapy. It’s amazing what happens when we follow our instincts and trust!
Automatic writing is another tool in connecting with spirit, your higher self and the angels. I like to do this and it’s outstanding the messages that come through. Parts of this book have happened this way. Initially similar to meditation, it’s good to quieten the mind and just write the thoughts, words, and phrases that come in. It’s when you read it back and you see you have a perfectly formed conversation and paragraph in front of you, that you don’t recall writing! That’s freaky but rather cool. You may also find that the writing isn’t yours that’s a strange thing to see. Sometimes I have seen my writing change a few times and this to me is indication that there has been more than one angel or spirit working with me.
Here is the first automatic message I received
“Blessed is the light that shines you on your way, be guided. Trust! Believe this is the key. Follow the wind be free, wherever it takes you be free!”
As you practice it, you might ask a question then wait for the answer. I have seen sometimes when I have written a reply to a text message and spirit or the angels have taken over and I read it back, there’s no errors and has perfect flow. Normally I have fingers and thumbs when typing and make up random words, the curse of predictive text on mobile phones.
Parts of this book came flooding in this way, sometimes when I wasn’t ready and mid treatment with someone - not the perfect timing - and I had to mentally ask for them to wait until I was able to write things down or provide me with a mental dictator phone. The number of notebooks I required was unbelievable, random bits of paper with writing on it took over. Even when typing on the computer sometimes my fingers just took over.
Dowsing is another means of asking yes no questions and receiving answers. Using a pendulum you hold it steady in your fingers and you ask it for a yes and for a no. For me a yes will rotate round in circles and no will rock backwards and forwards. Firstly, I will start by using obvious yes and no questions like is my name Heather “yes” am I 65 years old “no” (thankfully) although sometimes I feel it, but you get my drift of the context. After that, I will ask other questions I am looking for answers to in my life. I even use
