Free Five Minute Grounding Aura Cleanse
This is a five minute grounding aura cleanse. In only five minutes you can shift your energy to be more grounded and clear.
The practice and time it takes for larger change is very unique for everyone. Our own energy body design determines our needs regarding healing and practice.
Other ways to ground your energy are leaning against a tree, spending time with the energy of a tree or other plants and flowers, eye gazing with an animal you have an established, trusting relationship with, savasana with slow deep breaths for 5-10+ minutes, sleeping and any other activity that slows down your energy and brings you down towards the earth (in mind, heart and energy).
The root chakra is the foundation for the rest of your energy body. This is a small sample of practicing the energy mechanics of self love. This is a path of healing that starts from within each of us; it serves us individually and inherently everyone connected to us.
Solstice: Ground & Feel
collage by Leigh Aschoff | OMAYARI
Summer Solstice I love. Like most, I love the summer season & the light. On a deeper level, I LOVE when light is cast upon truths that have gone otherwise dismissed or minimized, real pain that has been ignored, voices that must rise up & out, into the light.
The pandemic & the uprising against systemic racism touches upon our root & sacral chakras. These are lower body energy centers associated with our human experience. The root chakra reigns tribe, trust, abundance & health. The sacral chakra reigns emotions, sexuality, creative expression & is the seat of responsibility.
Coming out of denial is a slow process (& includes Grief). By staying grounded & connected to our emotions while aligned with true responsibility, we can guide ourselves towards trust, equality & embodied empowerment without burn out, frustration & anxiety (energy not grounded in our bodies). Remember that lower body energy centers are slow processing. Being conscious & accepting of our root & sacral energy (what is true for us right now individually) is the way to the balanced power in the solar plexus chakra.
How can we stay grounded & connected to our feelings during this great change?
1. Ground your energy & your body: utilize the free Grounding Heart Meditation on my website, lean against a tree, spend time in nature, savasana with slow deep breaths for 5-10 minutes, sleep.
Root Chakra Affirmation: I have the right to be here.
2. Embrace your feelings with honor & true responsibility: after grounding bring your attention to your sacral chakra (pelvic bowl). Breathe deeply & connect with your feelings. Welcome your emotions as powerful life energy. Honor any tears or pain as the power of being alive, your precious life. Write, speak out loud, reach out to a trusted friend.
Sacral Chakra Affirmation: I have the right to all my feelings.
This is an example of the energetic mechanics of Self Love; this is a path of healing that serves us individually & inherently everyone connected to us.
HEART PEACE
Collage & Design by OMAYARI
HEART PEACE is a reoccurring Saturday morning (10-11amPST) online gathering for grounding, meditation & healing. Begins on 4/18/20.
This is a challenging time to stay connected & present with oneself. Whether you are staying home with loved ones or with yourself, there are many distracting elements we encounter on a daily basis that can take our loving attention away from ourselves. This separation of love with self can be very ungrounding. Over time, this can lead to depression, anxiety, isolation, confusion & more fear.
A disconnection with oneself often results in feeling disconnected from those around us both at home & in the workplace. When we disconnect from loving ourselves our connection to our highest Truth is compromised & we forget who we are. This can make boundaries unclear & more difficult to enforce [insert chaos & pain.
It is more important than ever to reach out & do something for YOU. During this stay at home, high health risk time period, we all need extra support to be there for ourselves, to practice grounding & discover what may be blocking us from living in/from the Truth in our heart. Mother Earth is giving us an opportunity to connect more deeply with our own hearts & to step forward with greater spiritual & emotional responsibility.
HEART PEACE is a weekly one hour meditation healing that is designed to support you in grounding yourself, connecting to yourself with Self Love & living from the ever unfolding Truth in your heart. You will have the opportunity to explore what may be separating you from a deeper heart connection which we are all being invited to at this time. You will also experience the time & space to be, to breathe, to learn the mechanics of Self Love & to be ever more fluent in the language of your energy body.
Delicious! Yes, you!

Global Community Message
Akashic Records Collaborative Collage by OMAYARI
We are in a place that appears as physical & emotional scarcity. It is more important than ever for us to know we are enough. It is a time to look inward & renew our identities. It is a time for us as an earth nation to assess our values & align with nature. The advent of spring is nature echoing to us that we can make it; we can pull through this great time of scarcity to more growth. Death is a part of the cycle of this process & is inevitable. The extreme of this virus is showing us all the delicate nature of life, that which on a daily basis most of us take for granted.
During this time there may come a fullness to our emotions if we are able to be truly present with our bodies, if we are able to practice grounding during this time. There is a brightness shining on us with a quality of fullness from nature. If we are able to sit with our emotions, grounded, in this light, we have the opportunity of experiencing an emotional release that will lead to healing & positive growth.
There is a force of nothingness that invades our conscious & unconscious awareness, as well as our fears. There is a vacancy involved in our condition right now since this challenge is so large for our entire planet. The void is a space for birth of something new. The Great Creative Spirit is more available to use than usual at this time. We all always have the same, equal access to this creative energy, however during this time period we are being given additional time & space in our days. From this place, we have more time & space to connect with it.
From the past, a great equality is flowing forth. It is leading us yet we are not yet to the destination. The path ahead appears to us as a cliff which causes a lot of fear (this is a natural response yet watch to not feed your fear or enhance this fear unnecessarily). This great energy of equality is asking us to walk the line. As an earth nation, we are being shown how our commitment to greed, fear & rage has erased much of our true earth tribe identity. This energy of equality flowing forward from the past is guiding us to a place that is welcoming, full of harmony, interdependence & freedom. This new place begins within the heart of each person; sympathetic resonation with this energy of equality flowing forward from the past activates a new vibration in our hearts. Some will feel it. Others will not.
The recent chaos shows us the interconnectedness of all things. Everything is always in motion yet now that movement & connection is highlighted as we quell it with our social distancing. The invitation in relation to this chaos is to ride it like a wild stallion - to stay calm, responsible & patient as we ride out this wildness together. The calmer we are, the sooner the chaos will settle. As we stay calm throughout chaos, we are being shown our own power - how our own choices, action & energy is in relationship to our entire world.

In the coming months, we have a great opportunity to heal the wound of being uprooted from the earth with this global challenge. This wound is part of our ascension as an earth nation. Part of healing this wound will be to ground ourselves into mother earth & connect ourselves to the planet in new ways. This renewed connection has the potential to inform us of the powers of nature. If we are willing to ground into the earth to receive the vital energy of earth, water, fire & air, we may also open our heart space to connect more consciously to forces greater than ourselves (Divine Love). We have the opportunity to expand further into mystic power. This is Self Love Alchemy we all are capable of practicing - we were designed for it. This also includes bringing into awareness earth conscious practices which were previously dismissed & avoided, living with day to day conscious awareness of oneness, healing & nurturing energy practices & putting people before profit. More people will be open to connecting with Divine energy while maintaining their human grounding. This is an opportunity for nature to flow into our communities & have a massive, positive global effect, moving from each household out into our world.
Embodied emotion through the Divine Feminine is being awakened in each person (male & female). Not emotional storms that are played out dysfunctionally but emotions felt & taken responsibility for as a process that leads to positive transformation. This connects to the bright, full light we have access to sit presently under at this time. There is a potential for Divine birthing (new & larger spiritual awareness/presence) through being actively engaged in our feelings through this time period. We are being given the time & space where we can all do this more deeply. For some, this may be too painful or scary to face. For those people, there are many others who can help. It is a potent time to reach out to safe community members & loved ones to share, to ask for help & to be present together. Speaking what is true is a huge component of this global shift. Part of the evolution of the embodied Divine Feminine is a rush of nature towards humanity & finding us as suitable organisms to voice the call of nature & her needs at this time. Notice what your truth is when you are grounded, feeling & open in heart to Divine Love.
On the better days, many people are feeling a surge of creative energy & youthfulness. The times at home are like being a child without a license or the independence to move freely in the world. This can be triggering for some yet for all there is a huge potential for messages to flow from us to others naturally (not for profit). Also, this is the time for many great messengers to step forward to share. Dreamers, poets & mystics are actively listening & have much to say at this time. Many messages overlap yet each one holds potent uniqueness that speaks to specific community needs. If you have a calling to speak a message, do not wait. Now is the time.
We hope for fast breakthrough & freedom yet are each given a seat of grace to sit in for contemplation. As we ponder & anticipate there is an element of protection in our physical separateness. Fear about breakdown in our communities, small & global, must pass through as it is part of the awakening. The invitation is to great contemplation & rest. Many people on earth already make space for this contemplation yet it is perhaps a way of the future - we all will be sitting in this seat of graceful consideration. There is hope for humanity to be considerate of our earth tribe; there is fear for global ruin by means of greed, selfishness & rage. What is it that we need individually & collectively? What is the next best step for each one of us to take that will lead to greater global unity?

This is a time of remembering the core of who we are & where we originated from. It is a re-centering of our hearts in alignment with Divine Love, which in it’s purest essence, contains the knowledge, wisdom & felt sense of all spirituality. The heart of humanity is being broken open. This causes an awakening for everyone & that manifests in vastly different ways yet the experience is on a collective level. However much it is embraced, considered, analyzed, felt, emoted, thrown in the fire of the heart or ignored, dismissed, denied or dissociated from - it is really happening for everyone. The forces of nature are flowing through our world. How we choose to see it determines what our personal evolution will be. There has always been the same percentage of unknown to us even though it seems drastically different now. Our focus is being rewired. Our awareness is being re-centered, through the heart. Many are already there; they will be the leaders of the spiritual part of this global journey. Others are in the process of joining. Many will join. Many will continue to resist. We are in the process of great change. Change happens at a glacial pace so for human expectations, this will seem slow. It is a time to deepen your trust in yourself & enter the space of your heart to discover your deepest truth.

Grounding Heart Meditation & Healing
Being grounded supports our ability to feel secure & connected with our community. During times of stress, it is natural that our energy wants to move up & out of our bodies, particularly if we have had any trauma around our sense of security & belonging in the world. When we practice grounding into mother earth we are free to open our hearts to receive unconditional Love. This is an excellent way to love & care for ourselves. By grounding & opening our hearts to Divine Love we can create safety, security & belonging in our own bodies.
This is a grounding heart meditation I have created to support us in being grounded & open to Divine Love. I recorded it during a rainstorm in Santa Barbara, California. Enjoy & please share with others.

ON GROUNDING & SELF LOVING KINDNESS DURING STRESSFUL TIMES

ON GROUNDING & SELF LOVING KINDNESS DURING STRESSFUL TIMES:
Is it possible to not be in a state of spiritual, emotional survival mode even though our entire world is in survival mode? There is a distinction between taking precautionary action & being in spiritual & emotional survival.
Grounding & offering ourselves loving kindness are great practices available to us all at any moment. If we are able to ground ourselves (& ground again, as needed) & offer ourselves love, we are more likely able to offer it to those around us, or at the very least, embody that energy which is very powerful. This is an opportunity for everyone to step deeper into self responsibility & in that, leadership through example.
Paths to ground yourself:
*grounding meditation
*sending your energy down into the earth on every exhale while relaxing your body
*lying on the ground (or on the earth or against a tree if possible)
*sitting or walking quietly in nature
*listening to nature
*listening to grounding music (drums, sound baths, cricket soundtrack - any audio that works to bring your energy down to earth)
*slowing down your pace
*slow, deep, steady breathing
*writing new affirmations tailored to any fear coming up right now; reading them out loud 1-2 (or more) times per day
*calling a friend who you feel safe & grounded with
*rest & sleep can be grounding (but be sure to not isolate)
Paths to love yourself:
*be gentle & loving with how you move - slow down & do everything more gently, with love
*write a love letter to yourself
*sit before a mirror & tell yourself you love yourself
*make yourself tea, rest, put pillows around your body in a way that is comforting
*apply heat or cold to your body, as desired
*therapeutic yoga, meditation, slow walks in nature
*touching hands to belly & heart; breathing deeply
*breathe in LOVE, breathe out PEACE
*invite Divine unconditional love to shower upon & through you (repeat, as needed)
*practice grounding
What are ways you ground & love yourself?
Notice if you are around people who have heightened energy, a fast pace &/or other behaviors that indicate stress metabolizing as fear. Know you have the right to stay in your body, ground your energy, love yourself & not collude with their energy. The stronger we are with our own grounding & self love, the less we will be swept away (up) into a stress & fear state. Remove yourself from the person or situation if necessary. Remember you do not need to do anything for people who are in a high stress or fear state. All you need to do is take care of yourself. Grounding & loving yourself are great practices for this!
TAKE YOUR HEART WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO
Images & Collage by OMAYARI
Treat your heart as a center switchboard for your entire biological system. Keep your heart space centered in your body. Treat yourself to your heart as an extra lung where Prana expands in greater abundance, as if you have given yourself an extra lung - not only for oxygen but also for Love. Divine Love & balanced community of earth love. This special heart gift is grounded & connected to the deepest part of the core of the earth. We are all connected to this point of depth. Allow your gentle, loving awareness to take you there as you breathe Divine Love from source to yourself, with others & then deep into the earth. Exit any tension out of your mouth, relaxing your jaw. Your heart’s capacity is unending. Open to the abundance of your heart’s capacity for self nurturing life energy & Divine Love.
May all beings experience Divine Love & inner peaceful belonging.
Vulnerability + Safety
Collage & Images by OMAYARI
Healthy vulnerability requires safety.
Being vulnerable with just anyone may be courageous however it can also be incredibly re-injuring, painful & then confusing if the cultural message is "Be vulnerable! It means you are courageous!”
It is useful to practice knowing it is okay for us to express our feelings however practicing sensing if it’s the appropriate time/place/person before sharing is an essential part of this.
For highly sensitive individuals, there is the possibility of wounding around being vulnerable. If this is the case, considering what is a safe time/place/person to express feelings is a crucial part of the practice of healthy vulnerability.
Maturing on emotional & spiritual levels means we accept greater responsibility. Part of this responsibility is being respectful to the process & position of others on their own path. Another major part is being responsible for our own feelings.
We can practice this responsibility by staying centered (or returning to center if we notice ourselves moving out of center in some way), grounding our energy into mother earth, being connected/open to Divine energy & FEELING. Even with this practice operating in it’s fullest, there still may be discomfort (especially if we have something precious to share & circumstances require that we not share or wait). This is also part of the maturing process; not everyone we have relationship with is at the same place of evolution as we are. Applying trust & faith to the process & giving it time can also help.
Healthy vulnerability requires safety.
When we practice grounded, centered embodiment with an active connection to Divine energy, we have a stronger connection to our intuition so we can discern what is a safe environment to be vulnerable in. And if we are somehow off in our discerning but have practiced this, we are more likely to be in a much better place to receive dismissal, avoidance &/or a suppressive response. It becomes easier to distinguish self from other & honor being in a very different place than another person at that moment in time.
