To help you find harmonious balance in your earth element, you can ask yourself questions about how grounded you feel, update your self-care practices, spend some time to declutter your home environment. Consider what helps you to feel earthed and comfortable, and do your relationships (including the one with yourself) have a solid foundation?
Reflective questions for your Earth Element
• What helps me feel centre and nourished?
• Where in my body am I carrying worry
• And is this worry it all mine?
• What is your relationship and pattern of allowing nourishing rest?
• How does it feel when you need to ask for support? Can you ask? Can you receive the support or do you try to work everything out on your own?
• How nutritious are foods, information, experiences and relationship that you digest
• Where do you have a habit of over-indulging? Foods, information, excessive pleasure seeking, certain relationships?
Explorative Questions about your physical and emotional state –
Where do you have recurring aches pains? Get curious about what might their message be? can you invited yourself to sit with the sensations, to connect to your bodies wisdom, what does it want to show you? Gently allow emotions to come up and move through, note down thoughts to identify why you may be feeling these imbalances.
