Earth (Grounding) – Brings us stability through practical advice, acceptance, and reliability. They escort us through life’s changes.

We know that there is an affinity for putting your feet on the ground – bare feet, boots or flip flops. The earth, be it sand or mountain or forest, is a nature that holds us steadfast. Aspire to what you most enjoy. What gets you centered? That’s nature.

The other part of nature is who natures you. When do you pick up the phone for a kind voice, word, idea or a correction in thinking? We all do. So do it. People needed to be needed and when you need someone, act on it. You will do the same. With comfort and compassion.

Earth Element

Earth represents stability, grounding, and nurturing. In the context of Genshai, earth teaches us to cultivate a strong foundation of self-love and self-respect. Giving Genshai to yourself first is essential because we need that deep seeded grounding that we do truly flourish in our full capacity to authentically and wholeheartedly love ourselves. Just as the earth provides nourishment to all living things, we must nourish our minds and bodies with positive thoughts, healthy habits, and self-care. Mastering Genshai means treating ourselves and others with the utmost respect, never belittling or demeaning, but always fostering growth and self-esteem.

The element of earth also symbolizes life-giving and support. Living Genshai means recognizing that we are all part of a greater whole, and our actions impact those around us. By practicing self-love and extending that love to others, we build a community rooted in mutual respect and kindness. This grounding in Genshai ensures that we treat everyone, including ourselves, with the dignity and consideration they deserve, creating a stable and nurturing environment for all.
