IN BALANCE AND EMPOWERED
“The Earth planet (which I will refer to as Gaia from here onwards) is a living, breathing organism that mirrors our own bodies in many ways. Every being on the planet acts as a cell within a system of the greater whole. The mineral kingdom, plant kingdom, animals, birds, insects and humans are all integral parts of the greater body of the Gaia organism.
Gaia has an energy field, or aura, that consists of electromagnetic (Light) energy. Humans also have an electromagnetic field (aura) that surrounds and permeates our bodies. Within the Earth the continental plates constantly shift and drift to balance Gaia’s body. This densest aspect of Gaia represents the energy of the Earth element. In our own bodies, this element is represented by the movement of our densest aspect - our bones or muscles. Gaia’s fiery core continually recycles Earth by melting down stone and releasing energy through volcanoes and geothermal activity. This energy is the Fire element, and it is mirrored in our own bodies by the digestion of food and its transformation into energy and heat. Gaia’s circulatory system shifts and moves through the tides of the oceans and the flowing of rivers, streams, springs, lakes and ponds, carrying nourishment to every part of her being and taking away waste. This is the Water element, which is reflected in our circulatory and lymph systems. The breath of Gaia circulates around and through her body in the form of air and other gasses. This is the Wind element, which is present in us as the breath and gasses of our bodies. The element of Storm is created when all four elemental forces are empowered at once. This element is a dynamic balancing force that helps the Earth correct imbalances within her energy field. We also experience the energy of Storm within our bodies as experiences of massive cleansing, spiritual awakening and the correction of vibrational imbalance.
In order for the Earth to be healthy, all these aspects must be in balance and empowered. If any single element force is out of balance, the organism becomes diseased. This is true of humans as well. If any one of our systems is imbalanced it compromises our health and well-being. Health, in fact, is a state of dynamic balance between these elemental forces - both in the Earth and in our own organism.
Our ancestors knew the value of this dynamic balance. They spent their lives immersed in the energies of these elemental forces and honored them for their life-giving properties. Days were spent out in the fresh air and sunshine, drinking pure water and eating foods that were grown in harmony with natural law. Today, we spend most of our time isolated from these natural sources of energy, and disease and imbalance are teh result. We are taught to be afraid of the sun and its life-giving fire. We eat foods grown on overstressed Earth, depleted of minerals. Our Water is toxic, as is our overly conditioned and polluted air. By separating ourselves from the natural elemental forces and attempting to control them, we have created a tremendous imbalance in both the Earth’s energy and body, and our own.
Healing is a process of restoring a state of dynamic balance to the body and energy systems by moving back into harmony with these natural forces. This state of dynamic balance allows us to respond appropriately to experiences and stimuli we encounter on a daily basis. When we are not able to dynamically respond to these changing energies and experiences, we manifest a host of symptoms including physical, psychological, emotional and energetic disease. In order to restore the state of dynamic balance that is health, we must be brought back into resonance with the full range of healing frequencies available to us through moving back into harmonic vibration with the elemental forces of Gaia.”
