Soles of the Feet

The Feet: The subterranean feelers of our being. Our roots. Vehicles of giving and receiving. Energy wheels of light dancing the movement of our hearts. Feet with Cosmic Earth SOLE vibrating through them.

Soles of the Feet: A Meditation

Begin by creating sacred space to meditate, a place that is peaceful and comfortable for you. Bring your attention to your breath and body. Take a few deep breaths into your whole body. Feeling your breath in your toes, your fingers, your head....When you're ready imagine moving breath from your feet, up the back side of your body, to the crown of your head on the inhale, and then exhaling that breath from the crown of your head, down the front of your body, to your feet. Practice that circular movement of breath through your body for a few moments...

We will be going on our journey now to the Tree of Life to activate and awaken our feet. Your body becomes very heavy and rests itself into the Mother Earth. You lift off from your body and travel in the direction your feet want to go. Soon you approach a gigantic Tree, larger than any earthly one you have ever seen. A Tree whose crown reaches far up into the sky, through the atmosphere, and beyond into the cosmos. The Tree's branches are full with birds of all kinds, animals, and other magical beings. Nature is very alive here. You see vibrant colored butterflies & fairies that sparkle. They fly together and touch down from bright flower to flower. The flowers are so fragrant that it is quite easy to become enchanted by their beautiful smells. A gnome and an owl can be spotted side by side together high up in the Tree. You marvel at the sheer majesty and tangible love that radiates from this Tree and fills this sacred land with a special magic all of its own.

Almost out of thin air, an elf appears near you. She is very unique looking and kind hearted. She introduces herself to you and welcomes you to the Tree of Life. Her name is Shiad-na, and she tells you her name means "the green one" and that she was born inside the Tree. Indeed her eyes and clothing are verdant and similar to the colors of green found in the leaves of the Tree. Shiad-na will be your guide on this journey into the the Tree of Life to awaken your feet and body to the powers of love. Shiad-na spreads a hand woven tapestry on the ground in a warm area beneath the Tree, and invites you to make yourself comfortable and lie on the Mother Earth. Feel the roots of the Tree beneath you, the Earth, and magic of this land, begin to relax and release with deep breaths all that you no longer need in your body to the Earth...Shiad-na removes ointments and salves from a bag around her shoulders to wash your feet, massage them, and give healing to them. Absorb the place, the massage, and healing into your whole being....

Shiad-na explains that you will be going inside to a meditation room in the massive trunk of the Tree of Life for the teachings. Shiad-na speaks in what sounds to you like an ancient language, a door appears in the Tree, and you both enter. In the center of this circular room there are two footprints carved into the flooring. Each of the footprints have elaborate designs and symbols inside them. You're invited to stand on the footprints to begin the meditation. You close your eyes and Shiad-na speaks to you in your mind. She lets you know that there's great love for you for even making this journey, that you're safe, and that she'll be with you the entire time.

You feel your feet growing down and becoming one with the roots of the Tree of Life. Your feet past down, down through the many layers, crusts, and stones of the Earth's body... As your feet continue to drop and reach down towards the center of the Earth, you soon feel the warmth of the rose-red heart crystal of the Mother Earth's love radiating up to you. You absorb her love and energy into your feet.... Feel your feet become activated and charged with the rose-red crystals of the Earth.... Feel the love and the crystals in your feet....Draw this love up your legs and the roots of your body that are now one with the Tree of Life.... Your torso and heart are the trunk of the tree. Your arms, head, and strands of your hair have become branches of the Tree and extend into the cosmos and universe touching our Sun and other Stars. Your body becomes a bridge for the love between the Earth and the energies of the Sun & Cosmos. You feel the Tree bring the love from the Earth up from the roots of your body, through the trunk of your body, to the branches of your body, and give the love from the Earth to the Sun of our galaxy through the crown of your head.... Then the light energy of the Sun is absorbed in the branches of your body, brought down the trunk of your body, down the roots of your body and given to the Earth... You become one with the rhythms and flow of the Tree and practice being this bridge of divine love, moving the energies up your body and down with your breath, communing with the love of the Mother Earth & the light energy of the Sun....These energies of love and golden light bring health to your body. You direct these energies to areas of your body that need nourishment and healing....The Tree of Life assists you in the healing by supporting your deep connection to the love and light around you, and to your connection to your natural blueprint of health and well being. Feel that you are one with the Tree and let your body be completely cleansed and healed....

Soon you hear Shiad-na's whisper to you that it is time to return. On your next inhale she invites you to draw the energies of the Earth's love and the Sun's light at the same time into your heart, make a wish to the universe, and exhale that wish along with love and gratitude for these teachings into the body of the Tree of Life, and return to the meditation room where you started.... When you return and open your eyes, Shiad-na is there, and smiles knowingly at you. With the same ancient language Shiad-na creates a door that leads to outside. Shiad-na lets you know that you're welcome to return anytime for more teachings. You thank her from your heart for the healing and experience. You express gratitude for the beauty and magic of this special place and especially to the Tree of Life. When you part from Shiad-na, you let your feet slowly guide you back to your body.

When you've returned to your body take a few moments to experience the new energies coursing through your body and in your feet. Feel the crystals of love in your feet. The invitation is to strengthen these connections that you have with the Earth & the Sun everyday. To practice drawing love from the Mother Earth through your newly activated feet to nourish specific areas of your body and your life. To practice becoming a tree of life, a sacred bridge to the divine energies, that gives and receives only love and light. May each step you take be a seed that grows more and more joy in your life.
