Connecting Heaven and Earth

Connecting Heaven and Earth is truly one of my favorite energy techniques.

In the mornings, I walk out to the back yard, step into the grass and just let my bare feet really savor the feel of the grass and the earth. Watching the trees murmur in the wind, the insects dance with the winds,and feeling the sun’s nourishing energy, connecting with the rhythm of the earth’s heartbeat. Then I stretch my hands high to the sky and press deeply into the earth.

At night, I always search for the moon and really absorb the gentle energy of it – I’ve always loved the many phases of the moon so I turn my face toward it and softly stretch my body toward it with one hand embracing the silvery soft enegy while the other hand caresses the earth's energy.

I’ve noticed that during the mornings and throughout the day with the sun shining on me when I’m connecting heaven and earth it’s a much stronger, forceful, deeper stretch. In the moonlight it’s a soft, slow, nearly flowing dance between heaven and earth.

Anytime I’m outside I connect with heaven and earth. And as often as not I'm barefooted. Afterwards I bring my hands to my heart, close my eyes, smile, and softly hum as the energy settles within me.
