Root calling

So many emotions swirling within me today so I felt the calling to dance, to allow movement to arise and clear what needs to be cleared away so I can gain some clarity and peace. I know its time to dance with the Root Charka and to allow words to fall away and movement to speak.

I set my room up as a warm and safe sanctuary and settled onto the floor with my playlist and my cushions, welcoming the softness to envelope my weary body. I surrendered to the floor and imagined myself sinking through the floorboards, through the foundations of the building and into the cool earth.

I envisioned my body sending out or growing roots, reaching deeply into the soil that was holding me. My roots running deep into the core of the earth, entwined with those of my ancient ancestors. I felt those ancestors pulsing through my veins, breathing life into my being. The beat of the music becoming the heartbeat and me surrendering to the Earth, coming home, grounded, centred. My body letting go, being fully held and supported I could feel a sense of ease and relief.

There was nothing I needed to do or be, feeling the sensations in my body, my breath entering and exiting my lungs. The weight of the world lifting as I rocked and rolled and feeling like a tint baby in the womb space, safe and content without a care in the world.

I begin to find my knees and then my feet and with my eyes closed I feel my feet striking the floor and the movement in my legs is strong and connected to a deeper beat or pulse within me. The music vibrates through me and I feel as though my body becomes and instrument becoming to voice of the music. I rise from this place strong and knowing, knowing that I am right where I need to be here with you. The world as I know it drops away and my breathing slows, my heartbeat in my ears. I hear your ancient callings, like music that pulled me to depth I’ve not known before. I feel your guiding hand and know I’m never alone.

The music slows and I’m lulled into your humming, soothing me, supporting me. I stand tall with my arms outstretched. I grow towards the light, extending through all these layers, higher and higher I reach for the sun, my foundation strongly rooted in the Earth. My base is grounded and my heart reaches for the warmth of the light, this body a vessel holding it all yet empty and weightless. I breathe with deep love and understanding that I am here, safe and belonging.

I come to rest upon the cushions and blankets, back here in this room, the light is dim and I am held in this cocoon, all knowing, there is nothing but safety, nothing but support here.
