Go outside, stretch out on the ground, face down or spine down and let all your stresses flow out of your body into the earth. Cry, sceam, rage – let it all out. Rest then feel the Earth energies flow into you giving you strength, foundation and deep healing.

Sit with your back against a large rock or a tree trunk and feel the energy of the earth connection

Imagine yourself following the roots of a tree deep into the earth. Smell the rich soil of mother Earth.

Weed in the garden. Kneel on the ground. Smell the fragrances of Nature all around.

Work with Auroma therapy – since the first chakra is tied to the sense of smell essential oils are very effective in balancing first chakra issues

Call on the totem energies of burrowing animals who live very close to the earth. Imagine the experience of living in an earth burrow. Hibernate
