HELPING HEAL THE EARTH

We offer teaching and healing gifts

Helping Heal the Earth is a non-profit website offering teachings, recordings, and reflections on the natural world as a sacred space, and as an opportunity for mystery, reverence, and communion with the divine.

The site includes material on nervous system regulation, calm, and inner stillness through the Healing Gifts section, blog writings, and archival recordings.

Across these materials, the work explores spiritual teaching, meditation, consciousness, and the relationship between inner experience and the natural world, offering a quiet invitation toward greater presence and understanding.

Earth Meditation

February 12, 2020  /  Paul Goodberg

Here is a simple suggestion for opening yourself to the sacredness of the natural world. Try lying on the earth for 20 minutes a day every day until you sense it has become just a repetitive practice.

At first, you may experience nothing other than a period of rest.

Try to allow yourself to sink into the earth. Let her hold you. Let her hold you more and more as you sink deeper into her. You must let her hold you if this meditation is to work for you.

Remember that the earth is alive, it is living and breathing.

Perhaps you will come to sense her as our Great Mother. Perhaps you will come to feel her pulse as you lie on her. Perhaps her pulse will soothe you and even re-calibrate your pulses.

If you lie on a blanket be sure it is made of natural fibers. Synthetics can block the earth pulse.
