Taurus Meditation with Emerald Crystal
By Alitzia Tyminski
Before you begin the meditation, cleanse your crystal. Get into a
comfortable position sitting or lying down. If you are sitting,
make sure your legs are uncrossed and hold your birthstone
Emerald. If you are lying down, place your Emerald over your
heart chakra.
Gently close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in through nose and exhale through your
mouth.
Again inhale, exhale through your mouth.
Allow your breath to adjust to your natural rhythm.
Feel your feet walking through the earth, your natural element
Mother Earth.
With each step forward, you are aligned with the vibration of the
earth.
Any distractions, thoughts or emotions that come up to the
surface, surrender them to the earth.
As you continue walking feeling the vibration of the earth
beneath your feet, you feel at home.
Listen to the divine intelligence that flows freely within you.
You harness the power of tenacity. You reach into your pocket
and pull out a pouch of seeds and plant them into the soil. You
nurture them until they transcend into a majestic garden.
As you tend to your garden, Emerald’s soothing energy
provides healing to all levels of your being, bringing freshness
and vitality to the spirit.
Emerald guards your heart’s essence with divine love.
Universal love and compassion grows within your heart chakra,
extending its divine love throughout your inner being from your
Crown to your Root chakra.
Take as long as you need while you are surrounded by the
beauty of the garden you manifested.
When you are ready, slowly bring yourself back to the present.
Gently open your eyes.
Lay down your Emerald birthstone.
Wiggle your arms and toes.
When true peace is renewed in our hearts and minds, the rest of your day is filled with joy, purpose and wellbeing.
