Connecting to Energy

This exercise is meant to familiarize you with the Earth-body and with the body-earth your physical body. Performing it regularly will help you to realize that the Earth is alive and very responsive to your attentions.

1. Find a comfortable spot where you can lie down. This spot can be
anywhere - on the front lawn, the bed, or living room couch.

2. Close your eyes. Relax. Breathe deeply into your belly and exhale
fully several times.

3. Become aware of your physical body. Really get into it from your
head
down to your toes. Now, shift your attention to the Earth directly
below
you. Let feelings of gratitude and respect for the Earth spirits
well
up; stretch these sensations down through all the layers of the
Earth
until you become aware of the Earth's inner molten core.

4. Once you have reached the inner core of the Earth, feel all your
fear, anxiety, and negativity drain down into the earth through your
spinal column, beginning at the top and ending at the base of the
spine.
With your attnetion still focused at the base of the spine, begin to
draw the pure, vital energy up from the Earth's core. Feel it slowly
rise up through the spine until it reaches the top.

5. Open your eyes.
