Welcome to the second installment in the Elements Series. Join us as we explore the wonders of EARTH in the words of Ridhi Kapoor.
Check out her thoughts on Fire here.
Have you ever stood on top of a mountain and just viewed the expanse and noticed the way the majestic peaks dwarf everything around them and realized how tiny you are in comparison but at the same time felt the exhilarating rush of literally and figuratively being on top of the world.
Or have you walked in the park on a lovely spring morning taking in nature around you and felt that at that moment everything was right in the world.
Why do we from time to time get this urge to head to the mountains or just head out to our home garden and sit and read or just lie in the grass?
The reason is ‘Earth energy’. Each of our bodies are made up of 5 elements and earth is one of them. Each of these elements needs to be connected to make us lead healthy and happy lives.
We need earth energy to feel balanced and stable. When earth energy is out of sync with our physical being, we cannot focus and our spiritual self also suffers. The feeling of being out of sorts and stress are big indicators of lack of earth energy.
While alternate healing methods have understood the need to balance your elements since centuries, modern science has also recently discovered this and has been trying to incorporate it through setting up convalescent homes in the mountains.
Even though there are a number of methods through which you can ensure that earth energy is in balance, one of the easiest ways is to walk in the grass barefoot for a while in the morning and should be incorporated into your daily routine.
Other ways are to meditate in the open and preferably in a park or garden and to meditate on the image of attaching yourself to the earth like a tree attaches itself to the soil via its roots.
So get out there and get connected!
“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.”
― Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

I had no idea about earth energy, but I agree that when I go and sit in a garden or in the balcony, I find a sense of peace.
That’s a thoughtful post. You are right Ishieta, we do feel an urge to submit ourselves in the lap of nature, communicate with the mountains and the trees. It does help release all the negative thoughts and makes one feel rejuvenated. One should do this often. Its the best soul healing practice.
I so missed reading ur posts.. u always bring new perspectives . They are always so profound yet simple ❤️
Thank you for your kind words!
Wow I had no clue the energy that earth gives. I’m so happy to learn this from you 🙂
Great post !! Everytime there is more and more to learn from you ..
I love this Elements Series. And this post on Earth is excellent. Always your posts radiate positive vibes.
Thank you!
I didn’t know it was called earth energy but yes I have felt it closely. There is a lot of positivity in it.
Nature does bring in solace for all troubles that is so so true. Love the earth energy
This is such an informative post. Although I go and sit on the ground almost everyday for sometime, I wasn’t aware of its energy and power.
Connecting to the earth brings us closer to our true selves by balancing our chakras….even a walk on the grass barefoot as mentioned in the post can be therapeutic!
This was a very insightful post I never knew all this things thanks for highlighting such useful and interesting information
Thank you!
I have always felt amazing when lying or walking on grass! Didn’t know it was the earth element! This is such an amazing post!
This is so true. Nature is beautiful. Earthy energy gives us peace.
Excellent ,there are so much to learn from this post.

Wow. I am a believer of energies positive and negative. This is very informative. I learnt something new today. Definitely reasons why one feels happier outdoors in parks or mountains
Thank you for your kind words 🙂
I always feel a certain energy coming out from the earth. My mom would always make us take the blessings of our floor before we sleep in order to have the energies accept our presence
Gratitude to the earth!….that’s a lovely tip!
I so agree with this post but I never knew it was all about the earth energy that we feel connected to and long to touch and absorb to revitalise our senses. I will try to follow the tips you shared about walking barefoot on the grass and meditating in an open place. Lovely post.
walking barefoot on the grass also helps in balancing your chakras ….so do try! ….and thank you for your kind words 🙂
