Ancient Earth

By Phyllis Pipkin, CMT, CPT, CLT

The Earth represents not only dirt and soil but also is the foundation for abundance, growth, harvest and stability. Earth has a magnetic force, an innate compass from which flows an ancient keystone of power. Being one with the earth teaches us to slow down, relax and come from a place of gratitude. It reminds us to celebrate, remember traditions and that there is an ancient power in the rites of ceremonies. Our earth is constantly showing us, regardless of the situation, there is continuous abundance. A perfect example is springtime and new life. Earth teaches us patience and co-creates abundance. It magnetizes us to every person, creature and growth on this planet. The Earth has a “negative” field we seek to help us discharge the excess positive ions collected with our bodies during the day. When we are not grounded we feel edgy, nervous, unfocused and more susceptible to the emotions of OTHER people around us.

There are conscious ways to “develop” the ability to be “one with the earth”.

1) Eating Root Veggies such as parsnips, burdock, onions, turnips, carrots, beets, garlic, parsley, yams, maca, radishes and ginger.

Root veggies grounds and calms you because they are rich in minerals and vitamins. These provide mental stamina, endurance not to mention supporting you nutritionally to fight “dis-ease” in the body. Root vegetables are great source of complex carbohydrates that assist in regulating the blood sugar levels. They are low in calories, a rich source of many B vitamins, high in fiber and excellent blood purifiers. Many of the different root vegetables are good sources of Vitamin E, B, Beta-Carotene, low in fat, high in anti-oxidants which go after free radicals that cause cancer, strokes, heart ailments and other diseases in the body.

2) Using grounding crystals or gemstones that naturally ground and protect you such as hematite, onyx, smoky black quartz, amber, black obsidian, jasper, and black or dark tourmaline.

When you cannot go to the mountains, stand by a waterfall, or work in the dirt then grabbing your healing stones will to help bring you into balance and centered again. Using these gemstones, you can carry them in your pocket, have them on a necklaces or bracelet, using them around your computer or just holding one in your hand. These stones, depending on what you choose can ground you, calm, transform negative energy to positive, regulate creative flow, and harmonize you with your surrounding, relief stress. Some stones can support you through a period of grief, instill self-control and discipline or anchor you into your ideas or inspirations. Often because of the different frequencies or hertz vibration they, carry you can use them in healing the physical along with the spiritual.


3) Working in your yard, garden or whatever plants you have in your home by repotting, trimming, pruning, etc. Placing your hands literally in the dirt allows you to receive the negative ions and discharge the positive ones so you feel more balanced, calmer, able to plan and to make decisions because to distracting yourself in the healing earth “energy”.

When you ground with the earth you are literally exchanging negative and positive ions to balance and harmonize yourself to the earth, where healing and calmness is. Planet Earth vibrates at a hertz frequency of 8-12 Hertz, although there is some speculation that earth is increasing the frequency. When you walk barefoot on the ground everyone notices how they feel the whisper of youth calling to them. The child in you remembers being able to run barefoot through the grass in your yard and the sweetness felt in your soul. This is true grounding. When you go out barefoot it allows the exchange of the positive and negative ions from you to earth and earth to you. Because of so many outside sources of EMF’s (Electro-Magnetic Frequencies) we are subjected to from power lines, TV’s, microwaves, computers, even the cell & cordless phones, cause we to absorb many of these EMF which cause an electrical distortion through our body. There are many scientific studies done continuously on the short and long term affects to the human body. Because we are all vibrational beings and vibrate at a certain frequency ourselves, when it is interfered with or distorted it allows for the stressors physically, emotionally and /or chemically to come into us and set us up for “dis-ease” in the body. This is how illness can begin.

So relax and take time to smell the roses, walk to a waterfall or up to the mountains or down the beach you love will give you the opportunity to ground back with the earth. This starts your healing on a level you may have not ever considered. Consider it now…breathing clean air, slowing down your heart rate and letting go of the many of sources of negativity that distract you in your daily routine.

Taking time to go to a quiet place, pray, meditate, spend time with some animals and just refresh your soul will heal you on levels and in ways that you may not even consider that is healing. It is our world which has become very fast paced and we forget the child inside of us who are the seekers of fun and festivities. Consider them because it will bring you a higher quality of life, probably lengthen your physical life while renewing and getting you back in touch with the earth, your spirit and that sweet child inside of you.
