Summer and the element of EARTH.

Stretch to grow in the full sun like the green things that are climbing in our gardens, persisting, living only to thrive and bloom into that which they are. Seeking paths of fruition by their sheer nature.. Sometimes we forget we part of her; part of Mother Earth and her Web of Life and this true nature of being. That this is ours to embody. The blood in our bodies are rich with her elements, her nutrients, the waters that have been everywhere upon her body and are now beating in our hearts as our own sacred waters painted with iron. In Summer as we focus on the medicine of Earth we remember that it is time to thrive, to make use of all the old compost in our lives, to cut away what is needed for new growth use this time of full light to see ourselves. We seek vision and clarity to learn to support new paths towards our wild truth, our true paths and purpose. Summer calls us to feel into the immensity of Mother Earth’s generosity and seek that space in ourselves where we remember that we are sourced. We can soak in the immeasurable gifts that are always at our feet, loving us, giving to us and all things. It inspires us to be more grateful and take action to transform, to dare to ask how we can live more and give more life in return.

The Summer in the Mayan Medicine Wheel is the element of Earth and the Yellow Road.

We invite you to carry the Earth through this season. Walk barefoot, plant a garden, visit different places to experience the diversity of the expressions of Earth. Sit with the Stone People and Standing Ones (trees) to feel their grounded, ancient energy. Grow and harvest your own food, or at least acknowledge and give thanks for the journey and energies it takes to go from a seed being planted to arriving as prepared food on your plate. Where does the food you eat come from- what journey has it already taken?

Reflect on what are we planting, growing, and harvesting in our lives. All the new life that began in spring flourishes and strengthens during summer to give full blossom for a good harvest in the fall. This is a season of abundant energy, expansion, growth, activity, and creativity.

The Yellow Road is where we learn how we manifest ourselves in this physical world, how we are learning, what we harvest, and what is our placement in the circle of life. Here we discover our life purpose, it is where we are exposed to what it takes to fulfill our sacred mission. This is where we discover our relationship to the Mother Earth, finding true nourishment in the journey of life so we can be happy, joyous beings.
