Harvesting Gratitude With Your Spirit Guides: Grounding Meditation Before the Holidays

Before you begin the water comfortable without any disturbance. Take a moment to shift your body to move into a deeper state of relaxation, becoming more comfortable. Gently closing your eyes. Start taking a few slow deep breaths. Filling up your lungs, expanding your rib cage, deep exhalation, belly button to spine. And then taking another deep inhalation through your nose, feeling your lungs expand fully, and then exhaling through your mouth, letting go of any tension, allowing the head to be heavy, the shoulders to drop, the arms to be light, and the fingers relaxed, and allowing your whole body to relax with each exhalation, releasing any stress or worry. Imagine a soft, warm light beginning to glow in the center of your heart. This light represents the energy of gratitude, a pure, gentle light that is always within you. Continuing your deep breathing as you connect more with this soft warm light in the center of your heart. Allow this warm, gentle light in your heart to grow brighter with each breath. Visualize it expanding, filling your chest with that warm, gentle light flowing into your shoulders, and down your arms into your hands, and expanding down your abdomen, your lower back, down your legs, your ankles to the soles of your feet, to the tip of your toes fully wrapped in this loving, warm, gentle light, allowing your whole body to shift deeper and deeper into a state of love and gratitude. Bring to mind something or someone you feel grateful for. It could be a person, a memory, a lesson, or even something simple like the feeling of the sun on your face. As you focus on this, notice how the feeling of love and gratitude changes your energy. Knowing this powerful vibration is the first step in raising your frequency. As you deepen your connection with gratitude, imagine that warm, radiant light expanding further, creating a cocoon of gentle energy around you. Imagine breathing in universal love, kindness, and light from the world around you. Invite your spirit guides to join you in this space. And your mind, you can simply say, I welcome my spirit guides to join me now. Please come forward in love and light. Imagine their presence as subtle energies, perhaps appearing as light, colors, or sensations around you. Taking a few breaths more to tune in, trusting that they are here to support you, guiding you in love and protection. Take the next couple of minutes to just sit in their presence, allowing the energies to connect. Allow yourself to be open to any messages of love or guidance they may have for you. Knowing that these messages are rooted in kindness and wisdom that transcends time and space. Accept them with gratitude, trusting that any message received is meant to support your journey and uplift your spirit. Take these next two minutes to see what unfolds and to remain in the state of gratitude and love. Imagine this cocoon of light sealing around you. Guiding and protecting you. Take another moment to thank your spirit guides for their presence on any messages they shared. Let them know they were always welcome to join you when you meditate. Or in your dreams, or in your waking state. And when you're ready, gently bring your awareness back to the present. Feeling grateful for this connection and the loving vibration you've cultivated. As you take your time to gently reawaken and coming back into the present moment, you may want to wiggle your fingers and toes. Maybe stretch your body, carrying this feeling of gratitude and connection with you.
