The Earth Element

October 6, 2012 //  by Christy

Are you solid, dependable and down to earth? Or do you tend to be stubborn, hypercritical and rigid in your thoughts, habits and even your physical movements?

 

Our earth energy is where energy meets physical form.  It is the slowest moving channel of energy in the body and flows relentlessly to the ground, rooting us in our physical presence.  Because earth energy wants to settle and solidify, it can take the longest time to clear or move.  We should not, however, misconstrue the slow pace of earth energy as anything negative.  Think of the people in your life whom you would describe as ‘solid.’ Their responsible and persistent character are one manifestation of earth energy’s heavy influence in their personality.  Balanced earth energy makes us helpful, constructive people.  It’s what grounds us, physically and emotionally, and keeps us focused and present in the world.

 

Problems in your earth energy may first take an emotional form.  As the flow of our earth energy congests, we may become proud or stubborn.  We tend to be fussy, hypercritical and eventually rigid in our thoughts, habits and even our physical movements.  Blocked earth energy manifests as physical problems in the throat, intestines and knees, often in at least two of these three areas at once.  And because earth energy is about structure and physical form, it is no surprise that it is the dominant energy in our very bones.
