I wrote this poem spontaneously one day after meditating on the root chakra. You can use it for a meditation by itself, or as part of a longer meditation that goes through each of the seven main chakras that line up from perineum to the top of the head. The top chakra is fittingly called the Crown and the bottom the Root.
This poem is about the root of your energetic system in your body. The root connects you to the earth, the ground, and stabilizes your human energetic being. This is the Root chakra and it corresponds to the color Red, like the red clay of the earth.
I am here.
I have a strong and stable connection to Mother Nature and all the Beauty, Light, and Sounds she brings to my life here.
Through my Root chakra I am grounded like the roots of a tree go deep into the earth, connecting me to all that is alive.
My energy flows clear through my root and frees my soul-body from the earth, bringing balance and equilibrium to my mind-body.
As I move through my day, as I come to decisions on which I take action, it’s from this grounded place. I take action without attaching to the outcome.
My root connection nurtures my system. Its non-judgmental fluid heals me as I live inside this body.
I am filled from the ground up with gratitude for my healthy body, mind and spirit.

I find it quite easy to let words flow from me after meditation practice, and I keep a pad and pen nearby just in case. It’s best not to read your words or think too much as you are writing. Try letting go to whatever wants to flow out onto the paper.
When you feel done writing, only then read it. You’ll discover a rhythm in it. Then you can make structure and grammatical changes to form prose or a poem. The options are endless really.
I hope you enjoy adding this to your meditation practice some day.
My Group Meditation and Mindful Living class starts Jan. 18, at 7PM- 8PM, for 6 Thursdays in Ventura. I offer it a second time starting March 1. Go to the meditate tab above (on my website) for details.

Are you seeking personal growth and transformation? If you are holding back and blocked from within, feeling anxious, fearful, unfulfilled, trapped, indecisive, invisible, or yearning for the release of your natural self and breaking through blocks to creative or business success, let my help you.

Hi Julianne,
Good to hear, thanks for letting me know!
Hi Kimberly! I wanted to thank you for this poem, as it was helpful in my therapeutic practice in working with ketamine. I appreciate the rhythm to the words, the intention, and the imagery it inspires; my client entered the keta-verse with gentleness as I read this poem that aligned with her intention to remain grounded despite unrest in her life.
Thank you, from another practitioner and on behalf of others who have benefitted from your words!
Hi Corinne,
I appreciate this, thanks for letting me know. I assume you won’t publish, copy, or distribute this poem I wrote without giving due credit to me and my website and blog.
