• Lay yourself front-body down on the ground, making a little pillow with your hands. If it is comfortable, make a little space between your hands so your forehead can touch the Earth.  (You are welcome to lay a towel or tapestry down underneath you.)
• Take a few breaths to become present to the physical intimacy between your body and the Earth. Sense the places where your body is pressed up against the Earth. Notice your forehead, your chest/breasts/heart, your belly, your pubic bone, your thighs and tops of feet. Remembering, perhaps, that cultures all around the world have conceptualized the Earth as Mother. Breathe here until you feel fully present and in conscious relationship to the Earth.
• Then soften your body, letting gravity help you in coming closer to the Earth.
• Link a breath and a thought. Inhale consciously receiving Earth’s energy into your body and exhale saying, Thank you. Repeat this many times. You are welcome to set a timer for a number of minutes, or to repeat it for a certain amount of breaths, or simply do it until you feel complete. Everyone is different so choose your choice and see how sincerely you can engage in this dance with the Earth.
• After you complete your last round of breath, and your final Thank you, turn over and feel the Earth at your back and look up into the sky.
• Dream. Take sometime to vision the healing of the Earth and the healing of its inhabitants, including yourself and those you love. What would radical climate healing look like? Feel like? Ask of you? Ask of us? Remember the words of Gloria Steinem here, Dreaming is a form of planning.
• If during this practice, you notice something happening in the living world that feels like a hint, a sign, a piece of guidance, take it in. The living world is alive and communicative, just like you. Whether a butterfly flies by, or the light shifts at a certain moment, a bird begins to sing – receive the gift, the guidance, the message, with gratitude.
• Take some time to write or draw anything you want to remember from this experience. Moving the guidance from the spiritual to the material through our pens is a way to begin to bring ideas into form.
• To close, offer up a gesture of gratitude to the Earth, to arrival of Spring, to your own heart, and anything or anyone you want to thank. You might simply use your hands to say thank you, you might speak or sing aloud, you might bow. Honestly you can do anything you want to say thank you.
• If you wish, come back here and share in the comments: one meaningful nugget of wisdom or experience that came through this practice. It’s a wonderful thing to learn from one another. Can’t wait to read ‘em.
