Meditation
Sit on a chair with your feet firmly planted on the ground. Begin to breathe deeply and imagine roots coming out of your feet into the earth. Release anything that doesn't serve you through those roots, on your exhales. As you inhale, imagine you are being vitally nourished, and call in the feelings of safety and peace that you desire. Once you feel a slight shift, you can begin your affirmation at any time. You can read this aloud for more power or just read it to yourself -- what is most important is you actually believe it. 

I love and trust in my body’s ability to heal and support me.
I am safe, grounded, and protected at the core of my being.
I am supported, rooted, and connected to the Earth.
I am strong, grounded, and abundant.
I am safe, secure, and grounded.
I am connected to my body.
I trust in myself and others.
I am here and I matter.
I belong here.
