You can do this breath pattern seated or standing. I prefer standing because of the willful choice it implies, but in all cases you have a choice. I have used this for as mundane a task as job interviews, and of course to step into magical ritual roles.
Breath Up and Become
Close your eyes and feel the breath in your body.
Feel the energy that your breath gives to your body.
Feel that energy fill your body and the vitality it brings.
Allow your breath to be slow and even.
In and out, in and out.
In and out, in and out.
Now continue breathing and reach down to connect with the Earth
Feel the energy of the Earth, the energy that supports us every day of our lives.
Reach down into that energy and draw it up into your body on your in breath.
On your out breath, allow the energy, mingled with your energy, to fill the space just in front of you.
Keep bringing that energy up from the earth and sending it out in front of you.
Bring it up and send it out with the best of your intentions to create an energy ball in front of you .
Keep bringing that energy, up from the earth and send it out in front you.
Feel the positive Earth energy flowing through you toward that ball of energy you are building right in front of you.
Up from the earth and sending it out in front of you.
Up from the earth and sending it out in front of you.
Let that shape start to form filled with the best of yourself, and the good of the Earth.
Up from the earth and sending it out in front of you.
In your mind’s eye, see it become a shape that mirrors your shape right now.
Up from the earth and sending it out in front of you.
And when you feel it is ready – either step into it, or if seated allow it to settle over you.
Allow your breath to return to normal.
This shape is your best open connected self and with it you are ready for the next thing you need to do.
