I wasn’t ready to think that summer was ending, it felt like I still had so much I wanted to do! And then we had a few breaths of autumn and I relaxed into them. It’s a good time to say goodbye to summer and look to new beginnings: heading back to school, starting a creative course, or planning a personal project.
Earth is viewed as either late summer or the transition from one season to the next. Anytime the weather gets a little off for the season (chill in summer, mild and melt in deepest winter), I look to the element of earth to ground myself and help my body find a sense of security. This often looks like stretching, meditating, and reading tarot in my massage room.
We can also ground ourselves by what we take in as nourishment, another aspect of the earth element. Each element has its own properties to look for in foods: colour, shape, taste, etc. Earthy foods include root vegetables, things that are yellow or round like squash and other gourds, and things with a sweet taste. Also consider the quality of your food: I eat a lot of last-minute meals, which don’t quite energize me in the same way as something hearty prepared in my own kitchen.
