The earth element is associated with our bodies. It helps us to connect with our physical nature, and be at home on the planet. It relates to issues of our survival, security, abundance, and our ability to manifest that which we envision and dream.

Energeticly, it is centered in the area from our feet up through our legs to the base of our spine (coccyx). The physical sense associated with the earth is touch. When earth energy is out of balance we are not grounded, we have deep fears of letting go, of moving forward in our lives. We become rigid, overly material, affraid of change.

Stand in a powerfull place in nature. Imagine you have roots growing from the bottom of your feet. Feel the vibration and magnetism of teh earth flowing through you, up through your feet. Visualise yourself becoming very small and taking a journey down through your roots, deep into the center, the fiery core of earth. As your eyes become accustomed to the light, look around you. Notice all the details of this inner earth landscape.
Gradually become aware of the presence of the Earth Mother Gaia standing near you. Study her form, her face. Look deep into her eyes. Feel her love and compassion as well as her pain and suffering. Interact with her; listen to her story. Ask her what she needs from you. Receive her guidance, her blessings and gifts.
Let your heartbeat join with her heartbeat as you chant her name - Gaia Gaia - over and over. Send her healing energy, surrounding her with light and love. When you are ready, give her thanks and bid her farewell, knowing you can return at any time. Slowly begin your journey back the way you came and getly open your eyes.
