In this episode, we’re slowing down and turning our attention to the Earth element—our most tangible and grounding force. Earth is more than just the dirt beneath our feet. It’s the foundation of life, the body that holds us, and the quiet presence that teaches us patience, cycles, and nurturing.
We begin by exploring the characteristics of Earth: stability, grounding, fertility, and the rhythms of life and death. It’s deeply physical, connected to the body, the bones, the stones, and the plants that sustain us. When we work with Earth energy, we’re manifesting intentions in the slowest but most enduring way possible. It takes time—but the results last.
The Earth element is also the most accessible. It’s right there—beneath you. Walking barefoot, touching soil, or simply laying on the grass are simple but profound ways to connect. We also talk about ritual tools and offerings that help deepen this connection: things like cornmeal, copper pennies, coffee, and sacred herbs and crystals including cedar, basil, hematite, and obsidian. These practices aren’t about performance—they’re about presence.
But here’s where it gets serious: we’re living in a world where many people—especially younger generations—have become disconnected from Earth’s role in our lives. Food no longer looks like soil and seeds; it looks like a shrink-wrapped box. This disconnect leaves us ungrounded, anxious, and emotionally unstable. Earth reminds us to come back to our bodies, to care for ourselves properly, and to eat in a way that nourishes—not numbs.
We also touch on how Earth shows up in relationships and community. When we honor the Earth element, we create more peace, more patience, and more joy in our lives and with others. Imagine a world where kindness is rooted, not rushed. Earth calls us back to in-person connection, eye contact, and nurturing others with steady care.
Along the way, we challenge some common misconceptions—like the idea that Earth connection is only for “hippies” or people who live off the grid. This episode is about breaking that stereotype and reclaiming Earth energy as something vital, sacred, and available to everyone.
We close with reflections on Earth-associated archetypes and deities like Pachamama, Gaia, and Bridget—reminders of the divine feminine, the sacred mother, and the animal spirits (like elephants) who walk steadily and remember everything.
This conversation is your invitation to reconnect—not just to the planet beneath you, but to the parts of yourself that crave rhythm, nourishment, and rootedness. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, but whatever you do—touch the Earth today.
Let this be the episode that brings you back home.
