Earth healing
.
When we do earth healing work, we explore the earth’s vital energy flow. We develop our listening skills so we can begin to percieve with all our sensory organs the subtle layers of a place. We begin to identify energetic features such as underground water currents, blind springs, overground electromagnetic patterns and vortices, portals of terrestrial and cosmic energies etc. And we re-member the art of communing with all aspects of life; Spirit of animals, of plants, Spirit of Place, the elemental life, so that we may resume our role of responsible co-creators. The Earth as an ensouled being, as our teacher can once again speak to us.
We are all aware of places that feel healthy, that nourish and nurture us when we visit them. We may also be aware of places that feel ‘heavy’ ’sluggish’, uninviting perhaps. If a place suffers from imbalance, it needs our assistance to free it’s vital energy so it can resume it’s role in the landscape. By witnessing what is there we already begin the healing process. We use our body as a tool for balancing and healing, primarily our Heart centre. Our ability to heal comes from our ability to Love. Love is the quality and the essence which transforms that which is unbalanced and hurt. Anyone who is able to Love and direct this love towards another is able to balance any disturbance they encounter.
It is in understanding our interrelationship with the landscape in which we live and tapping into the experience of the interconnectedness of all life, that we can understand how our personal healing process is linked to that of this planet and vice versa.
Connected to all things by our heart.
