10: Sacred Place: Earth Meditation for Grounding, Stability, and Inner Strength

In this episode of The Spiritual Sanctuary: Wisdom for the Divine Feminine, you are guided into a Sacred Place Earth Meditation, a grounding journey that connects you with the steady, supportive energy of the earth element. This practice helps you root into your body, calm your mind, and cultivate a deep sense of safety, belonging, and inner strength.

As you enter this sacred inner landscape, the earth holds you, supports you, and reminds you of your resilience. This meditation is especially helpful when life feels overwhelming, scattered, or unstable, offering a space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your foundation.

Throughout the experience, we consider meaningful questions such as how the earth element supports grounding and emotional stability, why connecting with the body enhances inner peace, how rootedness strengthens intuition, and what it means to create an inner sanctuary where you feel held, nourished, and supported.

Bertena Varney

Bertena is a spiritual teacher, priestess, and intuitive guide who blends ancient wisdom with grounded, modern insight. She is the creator and host of The Spiritual Sanctuary, a podcast devoted to the Wheel of the Year, Divine Feminine wisdom, goddess traditions, ritual, meditation, and soul-aligned living.

With decades of experience as a college educator and a deep background in spiritual studies, Bertena brings a rare combination of academic depth and embodied spiritual practice to her work. Her teachings weave together seasonal spirituality, priestess paths, somatic awareness, tarot and oracle wisdom, and contemplative ritual—always with an emphasis on empowerment, discernment, and personal sovereignty.

Bertena is the founder of the Ancient Arts of the Priestess Academy, where she offers self-paced courses, seasonal lessons, and immersive spiritual education rooted in the cycles of nature rather than hustle culture. Her work is especially supportive for women seeking a slower, more meaningful spiritual path—one grounded in trust, rest, and inner authority.

Through her podcast, courses, and writings, Bertena invites listeners into a sanctuary space where wisdom is remembered, not rushed, and where spiritual growth unfolds in its own time.
