Getting Grounded: Deepening Your Somatic Earth Relationship

 

In this month’s Embodiment Lab, we will be exploring our relationship the ground beneath us.

What does it mean to feel grounded? What is different in how you move through the world when you are grounded or ungrounded?

“It is a question, practically of relationship. We must get back into relation, vivid and nourishing relation to the cosmos and the universe. . . . For the truth is, we are perishing for lack of fulfillment of our greater needs, we are cut off from the great sources of our inward nourishment and renewal, sources which flow eternally in the universe. Vitally, the human race is dying. It is like a great uprooted tree, with its roots in the air. We must plant ourselves again in the universe.” -DH Lawrence

For many growing up in modern times, we are not taught to pay much attention to our relationship with the ground. The ground is a separate, inert other that is “down there.”

In this month’s exploration, we will look at how we can deepen our intimacy and our relational intelligence with the living ground beneath us.

We will explore how much can change in how we move, in how we sit,  in how we are with our thinking mind, in how we are in relationship with all of life, when we grow a dynamic, living relationship with the ground.

Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, the feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street to a sacred bond. -Robin Wall Kimmerer
