Increasing Energy and Awareness: Grounding Fire


In order to bring more energy into the body, we need to strengthen our physical and energetic containers. Begin each day by connecting yourself through your physical body to the Earth. Take at least five minutes in the morning to dance, stretch, and plant your feet firmly in the earth. Then sitting down, imagine a cord of light moving through your body, down your spine, and deep into the heart of the Earth. Send that grounding cord all the way to the firey center of the Earth. Breathe that fire energy up through your cord, through the Earth and all the way into your own body.

Invite the fire-earth energy to travel up your spine and out the top of your head. Imagine yourself as an extension of the Earth, being created by the flow of fire into solid form. Iimagine your physical self literally expanding and getting bigger with every inhalation. Let the energy fill you. Breathe it especially into your heart, asking the fire to burn away any self doubt, any sadness or fear or judgements you are holding. Imagine all these things as kindling and brush that the fire is happy to consume.

When you feel full of life force, begin to let this energy spill over. Send it with love to you family, friends, and anyone that needs healing.

When you are finished, ground the energy again by placing your hands on the Earth and breathing any excess energy into the ground. Keep as much energy as you need, and store the rest for later use.
Each time you do this meditation, you will be increasing your capacity to hold energy. Play with imagining yourself as a container that you fill with fire energy. Let the container be flexible, so it can grow as you learn to pull in more energy.
