Despite storms, eruptions, viruses, quakes, fires, wars and droughts, the Earth consistently rotates and stays on course, without disruption. It holds life in its depths, relentlessly. As uncertainty roils around us, it’s more important than ever that we cultivate this same energy inside our own bodies; the deep, pulsating energy of Earth. Our home. Our life force.
Daily, I’ve gone back to embodiment practices I learned years ago that cultivate earth energy. I’m using them as my base, every single day. Here they are for you. They were created as the first 5 days of 30 Days of Embodiment (which you’ll hear me refer to ), but they can be practiced in any order, and you can easily combine them to create a longer practice.
Earth energy nourishes our immune system, and when it flows, it brings deep rest and healing.
Earth energy is:
- Consistent
- Steady
- Slow
- Regenerative
- Healing
- Warm
- Pulsating (think of the core of the Earth)
- Deep
You’ll find these exercises simple and repetitive. This is intentional. Earth consistently rotates no matter the level of chaos and uncertainty. It keeps the same pace, and follows the same course, every second of our lives. This is tremendous power, which we can cultivate in ourselves.
