For the Earth
A Bonus Meditation on Reciprocal Relationship with Earth
Hello Dear Ones,
On this Earth Day, I wanted to record something special - a bonus meditation- to mark the day. For the last few months, I have been sitting with a practice that is an offering to the Earth.
More often than not, we show up to our meditation practice with ourselves {or other humans} at center. Perhaps we rest on the Earth and ask for the support we need, release our heartache into the river, or invite cleansing through the action of wind. We ask for what we need, but how often do we show up to our practice and place Earth first? How often do we set aside ourSelves and instead offer up everything to and for the animate Earth that we so gladly receive from?
The Cycle of Reciprocity named by Robin Wall Kimmerer in Braiding Sweetgrass has long been a focus of mine, and today, perhaps we can all commit to deeper exploration of what Reciprocal Relationship really feels like -
And so, today’s practice is For the Earth; it is my own exploration of what an Earth-centered practice might feel like.
Join me in offering up all the incredible humaness that we possess as an act of love for the Earth and the more-than-human of this Universe. I hope you enjoy 🌏
