Do you or your kids have trouble sleeping? Does your home or property feel chaotic? Are your pets nervous, jumpy or reactive? If so, your home probably isn’t anchored and integrated properly with the local land and nature spirits.
Consider the sensibilities of ancient architecture and land-oriented construction (some of this is still practiced in contemporary Earth-based cultures). Structures like the Egyptian and Mesoamerican pyramids, burial mounds, Stonehenge, temples and places of energetic importance were built intentionally aligned to ley lines, solar cycles and the stars. The doors of certain structures faced East, to receive the rising sun. All of these were vitally important factors in deciding where and how to build temples, set up inípis and establish villages, in order to align most beneficially with the Earth grid.
Modern architecture has different priorities. As many homes as possible are squeezed onto tiny lots. Original trees are ripped out to make room for buildings. Mountains are flattened. Waterways are redirected or dammed. Buildings are positioned wherever it is convenient to build, not where they are gracefully aligned and integrated with the existing grid of Earth power. (I won’t even get into the concrete foundations and electrical interferences.)
When we spend so much of our time inside isolated structures that are misaligned and disconnected from the Earth grid, or live in places where the grid has been disrupted through human activity, it is a natural outcome to experience anxiety, insomnia, chaos and dysregulation.
Happily, working with the land and nature spirits to grid and anchor your home can make a big difference. After advising someone about how to connect with local land and nature spirits, she reported a huge shift in her dog’s behavior. “Since I moved to Costa Rica last year, my dog has been very nervous and anxious. When I started making offerings and connecting to the land, she became much more relaxed, and now is confident walking through the jungle with me.” In this case, her dog’s anxiety was not something we were trying to address, but it was one of many beneficial outcomes from her connecting to the Earth grid and building relationships with local nature spirits.
Here are some ways to create more peace, health and relaxation for you, your kids, your pets and your home:
Assess the existing Earth grid and ley lines on and around the land where you live, and grid your home to these currents of energy.
Locate and connect with/make offerings at local living temples and sacred sites.
Connect with the local guardian nature spirits, make prayers and offerings, and ask for their support and blessings.
Use altars, plants, crystals and other features in your home to recalibrate your space to the Earth grid and ensure harmonious alignment in your temple.
Take your kids on neighborhood nature walks so they can meet the local nature spirits. Teach them how to make offerings and ask for blessings, protection and help so that they feel safe and relaxed.
Do you want to…
…create functionally purposeful allyships with local nature spirits to support your spiritual practice?
…build lifelong partnerships with powerful natural allies and receive deep initiations into their mysteries?
…confidently invoke the nature spirits during your meditation or ceremonial practice?
