The Terrestrial Realm. Earth is the holder of space, support structure, and all things material. It is the densest of the elements and, if nourished, provides the foundation needed to build upon. This element reminds us that, no matter how monotonous it can be, slow and steady work pays off in the long run. Because, “all good things take time.”
.
The qualities of Earth can be seen, most apparently, in the root systems of plants. Roots reach down into the Earth and pull up the nutrients that support the plant’s growth. The roots are also the physical foundation of the plant, which is mirrored in our own bodies: the skeletal system and skin.
.
Earth knows that wisdom and strength come from within. Trusting in the quiet spaces keeps us in alignment.
.
What happens when there is too much Earth? We become heavy, stagnant, rigid, and overly attached to the material realm. Not enough can leave us crumbling with no foundation to build upon.
.
To work with the Earth element:
-Meditate with the Ground Down elemental tea blend
-Stand on the Earth, barefoot, for at least 1 minute
-Get your hands in the dirt, maybe harvest some dandelion roots
-Sit at the base of a tree, letting it support you
-Meditate with some grounding stones (Obsidian, Petrified Wood, Onyx, Black Tourmaline)
-Spend time touching your body, especially your feet
-Create a relationship with your grounding cord
-Spend time with loved ones
-Beautify your home (do some nesting)
-Eat root vegetables (preferably cooked)
