Nature – Earth Elements

In my course, I’m currently studying the base chakra and all that is connected to it.

The base or (root) chakra is your foundation to physical life itself.

It is the energy keeper of our family of origin lines, financial state of mind, material issues, security, grounding, earth energy, pursuing our goals, belonging and survival, male fertility etc

Over the years when trying to balance myself out, one thing I have always struggled with is my connection with the earth.

I’ve always found it difficult to stay grounded and physically connect to earth elements in certain meditations.

I have to really put a big effort in to do this.

Sometimes, I find it “mundane” to visualise myself rooted to the earth and connecting to it, for me to connect I need to be in it.

I need to feel it in my hands and upon my feet and that’s when I can be still and connect to the earth.

Today I decided to go for a walk and immerse my self with nature.

To sit in the middle of it and to listen, to see and to appreciate the energy this strong foundation gives us.

Have you ever wondered why we want to escape the hustle and bustle of life and find ourselves wanting to be amongst the seas, the trees and the plants?

It’s because we are so deeply connected through our base chakras, that when feeling unbalanced and whenever we feeling disconnected to nature, the chakra sends signals to reconnect.

Hence the urge to go for walks outside, watering your the plants, sitting amongst the trees, having the sand between your toes. It’s asking you to acknowledge it’s presence.

And in that is the beauty of this system.

We should be so grateful for our mother earth and the beautiful energy she gives us whatever season we are in.
