Earth Grounding Meditation
Open your connection with the Earth. Extend your senses downward; through your body, through your feet, through the floor, and down into the Earth. Feel the energy within you slowly draining down through your feet and into the Earth. Imagine your bones are hollow like pipes, extending deeper and deeper into the ground. Let all of the negativity within you drain through these pipes and down into the Earth. Feel the weight of gravity settling on your shoulders, your head. Feel the weight of the Earth pulling you downward, and within.
Now with your senses extended as far as they will go into the Earth, begin to pull that green, healing Earth energy up through your pipes and into your body. Feel the strength of the Earth being pulled up into your body and filling up every pore. Fill yourself with the strength and healing of Earth, until your whole body is a vessel for green, fertile Earth energy. When your body has taken in as much energy as it can hold, when it can't contain a bit more, place your hands upon the ground and send the excess energy back into the ground and into our circle. Feel the circle strengthen around us as it surrounds us and protects us, and centers us for our Samhain ritual.
(Light the Incense)
As we smell this incense, symbol of air, may we feel ourselves gaining in strength and and inner peacefulness.
(Light the Candle)
As we light this candle, symbol of fire, may we feel the power of our own inner fire; fires of anger; fires of passion; fires of manifestation.
(Pass the Salt dish)
As we touch this salt, symbol of earth, ask the Ancient Ones to heal the earth on which we live, and protect it from all those who seek to do her harm. May they help us find balance, and walk within that balance thru these troubled times.
(Pass water dish)
As we anoint ourselves with this water may it cleanse our bodies and spirits of all negativity, and weariness of heart. May it fill the dark spaces with love, and teach us to endure all things.
Now that we’re all properly Grounded and Centered, let us summon the Ancients and create our sacred space, our gateway between the worlds.
