Spring is in full bloom and nature has awakened after her winter hibernation. It’s the perfect time to connect (or reconnect) with Mother Earth. The Earth element has so much to offer us: stability, structure, foundation, and an abundance of grounding energy. These qualities are essential for the act -and art- of manifestation.
I’m often asked how to bring our hopes & wishes, dreams & desires into this material realm. We place so much energy into our creative thoughts, ideas, and intuition but the missing component may be the Earth element. When we are aligned with the Earth element, we can easily more easily manifest our inner vision.
Below you can find a sample of the various ways to connect with and balance the Earth element tapping into the Earth’s unlimited energy for manifestation. Feel free to share your own personal practices to align with Mother Earth in the comment section below.
Activities:
Plant a garden
Spend time in nature walking or hiking
Walk barefoot on the grass (Earthing)
Lie in savasana (corpse pose) outside or inside feeling a connection to the grounding energy of the Earth
Meditations:
Visualize the colors associated with the Earth element during meditation: yellow, brown, red
Take your meditation practice outside and mediate while sitting on a rock or leaning against the back of a tree
Visualize roots growing from your tail bone and descending all the way down to the core of the Earth where the roots draw up the grounding energy of Mother Earth.
Meditate using prithvi mudra (ring finger and thumb gently touch). Palms can be up to receive energy or face can face downward for additional grounding.
Essential Oils:
Cedarwood
Rosewood
Juniper
Cypress
Patchouli
Crystals:
Petrified wood
Smokey Quartz
Dalmatian Jasper
Affirmation: “I am connect to Mother Earth and can easily manifest my heart’s desires.”
Poems are a wonderful way to connect with the energies of the season. Below is one of my favorite from Dana Faulds.
“Gardener’s Creed”
Danna Faulds
I believe in the creative energy of sun and soil,
rain, and spring days giving way to heat.
I believe in seeds,
those miraculous containers of rebirth,
a whole garden sprouting into being
from a few paper packets neatly
stamped with planting dates.
I believe in the healing power of
sowing, weeding, and harvesting,
the complex tangle of my day giving way
to the immediacy of ripe snow peas hiding beneath their sheltering leaves
– waiting to be found.
If there is anything I can do to help you on your journey, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Much love,
