Anchoring and Connecting

with Mother Earth and Father Sky

Tools and Materials:

  • A blanket

  • A rock

Step 1: Preparation

Approach this practice with an open mind and a willingness to accept whatever may arise. Find a peaceful place in nature where you feel safe and protected—a spot that calls to you. Spread your blanket and settle into this space.

Step 2: Opening

Sit comfortably on your blanket and take a deep breath. Slowly observe your surroundings:

  • Identify five things you can see, ensuring you notice something to your left, right, front, back, and above you.

  • Bring awareness to how your body feels. Observe any sensations within your body, without judgment—simply noticing.

Step 3: Core Practice

Feel the weight of your body grounding into the earth. Notice gravity anchoring you. Visualize a cord or root extending from the base of your spine. See this root growing stronger and longer, reaching through the blanket, deep into the earth.

Imagine asking Mother Earth for permission to wrap this root around her core. Feel her granting permission. Sense the cord wrapping securely around her core, as nurturing and sustaining as a baby connected to its mother.

Now, imagine this root acting like a gentle vacuum that you control. Begin to release anything within your body or energy field that no longer serves you. Let these energies flow through the root into Mother Earth, who lovingly receives and transforms them into nourishment for new growth.

Shift your attention to the top of your head (crown). Visualize a sliding glass door opening, allowing a radiant column of light to beam down from the Sun. Feel this light blessing you, nourishing your body and energy field—like sunlight fueling a plant through photosynthesis.

Now, sense your body in perfect balance:

  • Grounded by Mother Earth below.

  • Blessed by Father Sky (the Sun) above.

Visualize four strong pillars surrounding you. Their roots reach deep into Mother Earth, while a column of light from Father Sky flows through them. These pillars act like a purification system, cleansing your space, body, and energy field of anything that doesn't belong. Feel yourself completely clear, clean, and sanctified.

Step 4: Integration

Hold the rock in your hands. Breathe into it, releasing any emotions, feelings, or physical sensations you'd like to let go of. Blow into the rock repeatedly until you feel you have fully released everything associated with those feelings.

Step 5: Closing

Offer gratitude to Mother Earth and Father Sky for their support and for receiving your offering. Find a meaningful place in nature to return the rock to the Earth—bury it or place it somewhere that feels right to you.

As you return to your daily life, remember that this connection is always available to you. You can revisit this sacred space in your mind at any time to reconnect with Mother Earth and Father Sky.
