Partnering with the earth can be whatever you like it to be. A way to consider the earth as a lover, partner, intimate, or a mentor, guide, or confidant. Consider what does it mean to 'partner with' someone or something? How does a partner influence you? Take you to places you can't go alone? How do you affect a partner?

One suggestion for partnering with the earth is to bring your body in direct contact with the earth, or ground. You can also do this through the floor, a blanket, or even your bed. You can feel the earth energetically and physically.

Try lying down and allowing yourself to sink into connection with gravity. Then find ways to touch, roll, move, play, admire the earth (or your living room floor or bed). Can you allow parts of your body that never touch the ground to come in contact with the surface below you? For example, what is it like to touch the earth with your wrists, back of your neck, asshole, armpit?

What is it like to take the earth as your lover? To let her touch you and to touch her with your whole-being?

If you aren't interested in touch, what are other ways you can show appreciation or admiration for the earth? What prayers might you say? What offerings might you give?
