Five Elements Virtual Workshop: Earth Element – Bruce Frantzis

A PERSONAL INVITATION FROM BRUCE FRANTZIS

Recognizing, Contacting and Balancing the Energy of Earth

Who couldn’t use a bit more stability in their lives? A feeling of being grounded and integrated in mind and body can do wonders for a person, both in their worldly and spiritual endeavors.

The Earth Element is responsible for generating stability while integrating the various aspects of ourselves into one coherent whole. Earth joins and unifies all the other Elements–Water, Fire, Wood, Metal–and combines them into a powerful, coherent, well-functioning system.

The energy of Earth, as distinct from the other four elements, is both yin and yang. The core expands and radiates out, while the crust condenses and draws in. The result of these two forces is balance, which unifies the Earth, and brings forth cohesion and stability.

Taoist five element practices move beyond the external manifestations of the elements, teaching practitioners to recognize and contact the elemental qi within.

Earth qi is responsible for the cohesiveness of all that is within us. By recognizing this integrated aspect of ourselves, we are able to tap into the understanding of the true non-difference in all things, and move closer toward wholeness.

These lessons have benefitted my own life beyond measure, and I’m looking forward to sharing them so that they can do the same for you.

You have my warmest invitation to join us, and I hope to see you in the workshop.

Everything furthers,

Bruce Frantzis
