We are finally arriving to the end of this 5 workshop series on Touching the elements.
Last one coming up on Sunday 4th April 2022 at Quay Yoga, 6 Georges Quay, Cork.
On this fifth workshop we will plant our feet on the solidity of the Earth Element to experience the gifts it has to offer.
The Earth energy is best felt in the late summer. It can also be experienced during the transitional period between each seasonal change which the Japanese call Doyo. It is an 18-day period consisting of the 9 days before and 9 days after each Solstice or Equinox.
This time of year is all about centering, grounding, finding balance and nurturing. It is a time of balancing and stabilising and it provides us some excellent opportunities for self-nurturing and self-cultivation at all levels.
Late Summer it’s the time of the year when the fields are rich with the ripe harvest, the sun is warm and time seems to stand still.
The Earth element represents the solid ground we stand on and the nurturing soil in which everything grows. It brings stability and balance being at the center of everything. Earth is home; the cosy center of our lives; the pivot about which the other elements turn.
The spirit of Earth has to do with a person’s capacity to meet the needs of self and others in a balanced way. It allows us to express our needs appropriately and feel heard.
Earth is nurturing and mothering; it is what leads us towards parenting and choosing caring professions.
The Earth element at its best makes us sympathetic, supportive, sincere and loyal. Earth is the source of our inner strength providing patience, endurance and stability.
Earth is the place where we feel grounded and therefore we can have a good focus, clear thinking, be logical and skilled at reasoning.
The Earth gives us a good appetite with a healthy interest in food alongside a robust digestion that supplies us with a good daily energy that keeps us strong and upright.
All these wonderful gifts can be cultivated through simple but effective Shiatsu techniques, Qigong exercises and more.
