Earth Chakra Explained

Grounds & Connects To Mother Gaia

➤ By Liz Oakes

The earth chakra has been ignored by many people for a long time. These days many of us rarely put bare feet onto the ground unlike our ancestors who often went barefoot.

This chakra is predominantly related to making a connection to the earth, to ground your energy.

Due to the way many people now live life, it's time to be aware of the importance of earth energy.

If you rarely make an earth connection, and you spend a lot of time using devices that bring unnatural energy into your body you may easily become ungrounded.

It is beneficial to regularly take excess energy down to earth, via the base chakra into the earth star chakra to be released to Mother Gaia. 

This is known as grounding and may help to prevent a number of health issues caused by being ungrounded.

It is very important for everyone that this chakra is healthy, but it is especially valuable for spiritual people.

It is important that you regularly make the connection to the earth through your base or root chakra and on down to the earth star chakra to ground yourself.

This is where you connect your energy to Mother Gaia to resource and reground your body. As you reconnect to Mother Gaia's energy, you do two things. 

You draw energy from the earth. This is the vibration that enables you to become grounded, and you may also discharge your excess energy into the earth.

Using either brown or black crystals or stones can be highly beneficial to assist you to ground yourself.

Crystal Book Reviews

The books about crystals that are shown below are all very in-depth crystal reference books.

There are some authors of crystal books who have been in the crystal industry for many years. Having one of their books on hand for reference purposes is beneficial.

Melody's Encyclopedia Love Is In The Earth, is a book that covers more than most. 

This book gives you so much information, and covers so many crystals that on its own is almost a reference library.

Note I am talking about the large encyclopedia, not her smaller books of the same name.

The earlier book of the same name had a separate book with pictures in, so be careful when you look at these selling.

Note: When you use the vibration of crystals to help and support your healing remember that crystals are part of an holistic approach to your health.

Metaphysical healing uses universal energy so does not stand alone and can be used with any other type of healing. 

Conventional medicine may say that crystal healing is just the placebo effect, but those who use it do find it is beneficial.

Using the energy of crystals for healing yourself is about finding a way to enhance conventional medicine not replace it. So always seek out medical treatment for any worrying health issue.
