Guided Meditation: Grounding Trial #2

Thursday, October 27, 2016
I felt really relaxed before this session. I drank some Sleepy Time tea (I don not have fancy tea, yet), with cream and had a few pieces of fruit so that I was not hungry. I made sure that I was at a comfortable temperature, which meant putting on a sweater! I did this meditation outside, barefoot. Little did I know that this would be perfect for this meditation!
When the meditation started I was able to really focus on my feet and allowing the stress flow from my neck and back down through my legs to my feet. My feet felt like I had suddenly put cement boots on. I was surprised to feel this because they felt so heavy. Maybe that is a sign of how stressed out I have been lately.
When I began envisioning roots shooting from my feet into the ground I started seeing many channels, similar to how an ant hill looks under the surface. The roots were twisting and turning every which way but constantly going down. I saw the splash of underground streams and little creatures scurry out of the way. There was a point where the roots seemed to slow down a bit, almost like they were having a more difficult time getting through the harder layers of the earth.
Then there was a bright red-orange light, the roots plunged into the bubbling, spewing magma. In that instant it was like watching everything in reverse while the magma flowed up the roots. Past the critters scurrying away, through the underground streams...which were heated after that...and into the bottom of my feet. I felt a warmth in my feet and I felt if creep up slowly to my ankles, and then my thighs. Once the warmth hit my thighs I felt the heat through my hands as well. It was not filling my core and then spilling into my arms, it was like I was being dipped into warmth. Once the heat filled my head, I lifted my hands above my head and put them together and like a firework the magma shot out of my hands. The sight was beautiful, I saw sprays of magma all around me like a firework exploding.
When I bent down to touch the ground I was the same temperature as where I was standing. The grass around me had just been watered so I know it was cool before starting my meditation. Yet, the area just around my feet felt the same temperature as my hands and feet. I stood up, opened my eyes and took my sweater off! I felt warm and relaxed. I felt one with the earth.
I have never experienced a meditation like this before. I have done two other meditations and neither of them had me feel like this one. I really felt like I was completely experiencing what was being said. I think I was able to experience this meditation this way because I have been studying Akasha and I now have a deeper sense of how I am connected to the Earth and universe. It was absolutely beautiful and I can not wait to do it again!

Tarot Reading: 3-Card Spread

Monday, October 24, 2016
Today's reading.
1. Where do I need to focus my energies?
2. How do I focus my energies on that issue?
3. Outcome of focusing my energies.
1. XI Justice
Balance, equality, compromise
2. IV The Emperor
Order, strength
3. Two of Cups
Closeness, merging
I need to focus on creating balance and equality in my home and marriage. With that comes compromise...but not to the expense of my beliefs. I need to create order with the children. Let them know that it's OK that mommy and daddy believe differently. I need to be strong in my beliefs yet also allow them to explore their father's beliefs...as well as any others that they are interested in. This will take a lot of work but I think over time it will create a closeness in our family that we have never known before.
