THE LAND BENEATH

Feeling Our Roots

Earth

Our foundation lies deep within the ground, and with it our heritage, our tribal mind and our ancestry. Confidence in who we are and where we comes from lies in our connection with the Earth Element.

The Earth Chakra, Muladhara is the mental loci for our meditation, the base of our torso and in filling it with the power beneath our feet we allow the Chakra to flow freely. As we receive, so do we also give and within that exchange we unite our ties with the Earth.

I have detailed preparation, reason and a guided meditation for you to follow, if you wish. Time and appropriate escape from disturbance is assumed.
