Daniela guides you to breathe golden white light in through the crown and down through the body into the earth, where it spreads like roots in all directions. You draw loving earth energy up through the feet into the heart center, then up and out the top of the head. She closes by inviting you to feel yourself standing grounded and clear, as the expression of wisdom, love and power.
'Imagine this golden light as roots connecting to the earth core and branching out in all directions.'

Questions people ask
What is the Root and Rise standing meditation?
It is a guided visualization from the bonus 'Stand in your power' in the Effortless Meditation Course. Daniela guides you to breathe golden white light into the body and down into the earth, where it spreads like roots. You then draw loving earth energy up through the feet into the heart center, and up and out the top of the head.
How does the practice end?
Daniela closes by bringing the energy back down into the heart center, the head center and the core center. She then invites you to feel yourself standing grounded and clear, as the expression of wisdom, love and power, and to feel yourself standing in each of the 3 in turn.
What role does the breath play in this practice?
Each image moves with the breath. Daniela guides deep inhales and long exhales as the golden light settles into the heart center and then rises through the head. The breath gives the visualization a steady rhythm, so you can follow along simply by breathing with her voice.
