Start with the basic breathing exercise to relax yourself and to enter the meditative state. The following should now be read aloud by a partner, or recording of the text played back. Pause between sentences for approx. 5-10 seconds, and speak in a calm flowing voice.
There is an energy centre just below and forward of the base of your spine. Please focus your awareness in that centre. This centre is the root chakra. You may be able to feel or to sense the energy within this chakra, perhaps as a tingling sensation, as warmth, or as some other sensation. Perhaps you are unable to feel any sensation there at all; it doesn't matter, just be aware that it is there and focus your attention in that part of your body.
There is another centre of energy at the crown of your head. Please focus your awareness in that centre. This is the crown chakra. You may be able to feel or to sense the energy within this chakra, perhaps as a tingling sensation, as warmth or coolness, or as some other sensation. Perhaps you are unable to feel any sensation there at all; it doesn't matter, just be aware that it is there and focus your awareness in that part of your body.
There is a line of light energy that flows from the crown to the root, from the root to the crown. This line of light energy flows through the centre of your being. Allow your focus of awareness to flow down the line of light from the crown to the root and up from the root to the crown. You may be able to see or to sense the energy flowing along that line of light. If you cannot sense it, just imagine it flowing between the two energy centres.
There is a centre of balance on this line of light. As you follow the flow of the energy from the root to the crown, the crown to the root, be aware of this centre of balance. Breathe into that centre. As you breathe into the centre of the line of light, be aware of the breath energising this centre, and of the entire line becoming brighter and stronger.
Be aware of the line of light flowing from the centre of your being down through the root centre, down through your legs and feet into the ground, and on down to the centre of the Earth. Feel the line of light connecting your energy centre with the heart of the Earth.
Be aware of any tensions and negative energies within you, and allow them to drain down through this line of light into the Earth. Be aware of the Earth taking this energy, cleansing and purifying it, transforming and strengthening it and returning it to you as warm, powerful, loving, nurturing energy.
Allow yourself to become aware of that nurturing, warm energy of the earth lifting up through you, lifting and cradling every cell of your being. Be aware of the energy rising through your feet and through your entire being.
Breathe in again to the centre of the line of light, the centre of your being. Follow the line of light from the centre of your being upwards, up through your crown chakra to the centre of the universe. Be aware of it rising to the source of the creative life force.
Be aware of the energy at the centre of the universe, the vital force of life, the source of wisdom, of creation, of compassion. Allow yourself to feel that powerful, wise, creative, and loving energy radiating down the line of light into your being. Allow it to flow down through your crown chakra, through the centre of your being, down through your root chakra, and into the earth.
Be aware of the earth's energy rising through you like a warm fountain.
Be aware of the energy flowing down through you, like living light illuminating every particle of your being.
Be aware of the warm energy of the earth in the centre of your being. Be aware of the sparkling energy of the heavens in the centre of your being. Experience these energies combining and radiating through your entire being.
When you think you have had your fill of energy, slowly allow yourself to come back in the room, and back to the physical realm.
