I Earthed Myself

Midsummer trees in Finland, where waking at dawn for tree puja would be problematic as it’s never totally dark.

17th March, 2010

The sun is rising later, and daylight saving is still on, so I go in the dark. It is too early in a way. Yet the weather is so hot – the nights are warm – in the dawn I only need a t-shirt. It is hotter than summer.

I placed my feet on the earth, I squatted, I earthed myself, having been too much in the head. It was a balm to join my body to the earth and feel the intensity of mental energy soften as earth energy seeped in. The tree is a perfect expression of the elements.
