Congratulations, It's your last day, Day 5 of our Fall Energy Reset. And we are ending this 5-day session with a final connection to the Earth element. And so this is the grounding, Nourishing element of the 5. So for this practice, Again, It's going to be twofold. The first thing is give yourself full permission to get outside and be in your body. The earth element is associated with our physical body. And so often when we are sedentary or if we're just mentally thinking a lot of all the things we have to do, It's like we forget that we even have a body. So my encouragement to you today is get outside and move in a way that feels good to you. Maybe it's going for a walk, Maybe walking your dog. Maybe it's going for a bike ride. Something that isn't necessarily goal oriented, But something that just allows you to move and breathe and to really appreciate the human design that we are meant to move in so many different ways. So that's the first part. The second part is when you get a chance to sit, Whether seated in a chair like I am or on the floor, We're going to draw the energy downward, Down to the soles of the feet. So often when we're stuck in our heads and we've We've got a to-do list that's just so long. We have this energy that's kind of up here a lot and it's very scattered and almost has like a nervous quality to it. So we're going to just draw this energy downward. We're going to do that by literally taking our healing hand. I'm going to scoot back a little bit. I'm doing this in my pajama pants to show you how super casual this is. So you're either seated in a chair or seated on the floor. Take your hands, Start at one hip, Doesn't matter which hip, And just kind of press the energy down the top of the thigh. And then down the lower leg. All the way down to the soles of the feet and just give yourself a nice little foot massage. So we're literally drawing the energy downward. And then press on the K1 meridian end point. Your K1 meridian end point is at the base of the ball of your foot in between, Like here's my big toe and middle toe, In between the big toe and second toe. And just press in that little divot right there. I will post an image so you can see that a little bit more close. And just kind of dig your thumbs in there a little bit and really push into that rounding acupressure point from traditional Chinese medicine. It is associated with your kidneys. And it is a water element actually, But it's one of the most grounding elements. So give it a good massage. And then we're going to go to the other leg. So opposite hip, Use your healing hands. Really just kind of press that energy down either with the heel of the hand or the whole palm. And then the lower leg. Maybe give it a good exhale. Use a little air element, Mine is not. And then again, Give a good massage to the soles of the feet. And just kind of notice, Is one foot a little more tender than the other? And again, Find that K1 point, Your first kidney meridian point at the base of the ball of the foot in between the big toe and the second toe. Press your thumbs in there. Give it a good little massage in, Deep breath in. Big breath out. And that's it. Thank you so much for joining me for these last five days. And do just kind of a check-in. How are you feeling with water element? Have you felt the cleansing, Healing effects, The compassionate energy of water since we are mostly water? How are you connecting with space element? Have you cleared some environmental space? And have you cleared some mental space by having pockets of quiet? And then finally, Air element. How are you breathing deep? So deep you feel a longer exhale and you press out all of that stale old carbon dioxide you no longer need. And how is your fire element, Your digestive fire? What practice did you use? Was it spice water? Can you medicinalize your water? A little apple cider vinegar? Are you feeling a little more fiery, A little more passionate to really do the things that you want to do in this lifetime? And then finally, Are you grounding all of this energy in a very nourishing and supported earth element? Get connected outside with the elements of nature and notice that you are a microcosm of that bigger macrocosm. You are a sacred piece of all of Mother Nature. Ground that energy down, Literally press the energy down the lower legs. Massage out the soles of the feet, Your connection to Mother Earth. Thank you so much for joining me for these last five days. Have a beautiful, Beautiful fall season. Namaste.
