Focus: Connecting to the Earth

'The Earth has music for those who listen' ~ George Santayana
 
Take some time this week exploring your connection to the Earth. In our practice we begin with our three intentions. The first one being aligning and lenghtening our spine between heaven and earth. As we connect with earth, let's bring our awareness to the bottom of our feet, feeling how they caress the ground below us. Noticing how our weight shifts as we flow through our movements, feeling the sensation of the Earth below us.
 
Consider a meditative walk just feeling the Earth below your feet, maybe even barefoot. Let your feet roll with each step softly embracing the ground beneath you. Feeling the sensations of each step as we try to softly place each step with respect for the earth.  As you walk, looking around you and appreciating all the beautiful plants and trees being nourished by the Earth. Giving gratitue for the Earth and maybe even listening to it's music.
