Dear people, I am the voice of the Earth.
Feel me in this space, in the sounds you hear, in the atmosphere around you. You are part of the Earth, part of me. But you are oblivious to this fact, because many of you live in your head and have lost contact with the most living part in yourself: your strength, your passion, your feelings. For most people, there is a veil over these elemental forces even though they are what connects you with me, the Earth, and with life.
These elemental forces reside in your abdomen. It is where the raw emotions reside: wild waves in a turbulent sea. At the same time, there is in your abdomen the possibility of a deep silence in which you feel connected with all life on Earth and are a part of it. Know that in the center of your abdomen, two extremes are located: the peaks and valleys of your emotional life and, at the same time, the anchor, the foundation of your existence: the connectedness with all life that is experienced in silence and openness.
I ask you to descend with me into your body, into your abdomen. First feel your feet firmly on the ground. Connect with me through the floor; feel my energy. Everything on and in me is alive: the soil, the rocks, the grass, the plants, the trees, the animals. Everything is alive and has consciousness to one degree or another.
All your body is part of this living whole. You have a home here as a human being, yet you often feel without roots, and not at all at home. You wonder what you are doing here, what your role and task is. But see the life around you that does not have that concern. It just is; it lives and enjoys and feels fulfillment.
Now, go with your attention to your abdomen and breathe with ease into the center of your abdomen. Connect with the natural, spontaneous power there that does not question why you are alive or why you have the right to exist. Become a part of my nature by letting go of all your cares and fretting, and come home to me. I am your mother; I can care for you if you align with my rhythms.
And what are these rhythms? Descend even farther into your abdomen. Imagine that your consciousness nestles completely in your pelvic cavity and takes a rest from all thought. Your consciousness feels snug in the hollow of your pelvis. There, it discovers that you are connected to me through your lowest chakra, which roots you into the Earth, and you let go of feeling separate by feeling supported by me.
Imagine that a snake is curled up in your abdomen. A snake is an animal that might evoke resistance in some, but it is a natural beast of the Earth. It has a lot of power and is a symbol of much energy that is loving and powerful and can eliminate many taboos or prohibitions. But I am not going to speak about the meaning of the serpent as a symbol. I simply ask you to imagine that a snake is coiled inside your abdomen.
