This meditation is a deeper alternative to the daily morning ritual, as it connects your mind, body and spirit to the earth. This aim is to ground your spiritual energies and open your mind both to a wider vision for your day and to receive creative inspiration. I find that working with nature gives me a lot of creative and spiritual power.

Choose a tall, ancient tree in a field or copse as the focal point for this meditation.

1 Start by sitting or standing with an erect spine against the tree trunk and imagine your spine and the tree melding into one energy. This is a meeting with tree power and earth energy.

2 Through the roots of the tree – which are linked to the nervous system within our feet – the power of the earth can be drawn up into the spine. As the power rises it is drawn up inside us to touch the heavens, connecting the earth and sky. With the meeting of these opposites a restfulness and peace enters the spine.

3 Breathing gently, permit your thoughts to move away from the mind as body, mind and spirit are regenerated.

Once the connection has been made an earth ritual may be conducted. A ritual is a sacred act; a celebration acknowledging that there is a life power, which we honour by the giving of gifts to the spirit of place. The gifts may change according to the customs of the culture/country. For instance in Celtic countries the land is honoured by gifts of food or alcohol. A personal gesture made with heartfelt intentions would make the ritual a personal tribute to the earth. Bringing a candle or gifts of flowers would also make the ritual blessed to honour the vision which may be received by connecting to this earth power.

You can also conduct the same meditation using a standing stone. Here the energy is drawn directly into the spine and fills each bone in your body. A similar meditation can be conducted in a cave, by a cliff, on a stony beach – or you can hold a stone in your hand and meditate with it.
