Connecting to Divine Energy

Sit in a relaxed pose with your feet on the floor and your hands in your lap, palms up. Imagine there is a cord of any
color or thickness going from the base of your spine to the center of the earth. Once you create your cord, it will always
be available to ground you. All you have to do is think about it. Your cord can go through solid objects, even if you are
on the top floor of a tall building or flying in an airplane.

Next, visualize a large ball of sparkling, golden light about a foot above you. Bring this light gently down into the top of
your head. See it moving throughout your body: your throat, heart, solar plexus, and abdomen. Send it down your arms
and legs, and back up. Finally, flush the light down through your grounding cord, taking with it any “dis-ease” or
negativity.

Connecting to Earth Energy

Begin as above, but instead create a cord attached to the bottom of each foot. Visualize earth energy moving gently up
towards you through these cords. Feel it enter your feet and begin to rise up into your body until it has filled you
completely. This energy will feel thick and relaxing. Try this meditation when you feel over-stimulated, stressed, or
have trouble sleeping.
