Do you yearn to feel more connected?

[Reclaiming Our Roots]( We are of the earth. Some cultures are more rooted to the earth and connected to their inherent spirituality. But every one of us, even those of us who have been disconnected from our roots for hundreds of years, comes from a place that was once inhabited by people who worshipped and honored the earth on which they lived. In other words, we can all claim this wisdom as an essential part of who we are. One way we can begin to rediscover our roots is to explore the early earth-based religions practiced in the parts of the world that birthed our ancestors. If we explore the ancient spiritual practices of our ancestors, we will find that their practices and beliefs share many elements with Native American, African, and aboriginal religious traditions. People who are connected to the earth and honor her share a fundamental philosophy that is part of our legacy because we, too, are of the earth. Many of us have become so disconnected from the earth that it feels foreign and awkward to imagine communing with her or performing a ritual for her. If we are honest, though, we will find within ourselves yearning to feel more connected, more grounded, and more at home in this world. This yearning can lead us back to our forgotten roots, which, of course, leads us right into the heart of the earth. As we begin to more clearly see the people we come from, we can begin to alter our perception of who we are now, laying claim to our inherent connection to the earth. We might celebrate this by observing the ancient calendar of solstices and equinoxes, celebrating and honoring the cycle of the seasons as our ancestors did, or exploring any one of the many earth-based practices through reading or participating in ritual. When we do these things, we tap back into our roots and can often find nourishment through our earthly origins -- something we share with all of humanity.  [PRINT](  [SAVE](  [DISCUSS](  --------------------------------------------------------------- DailyOM Course Spotlight [Change Your Life With Energy Medicine Yoga]( by Lauren Walker Energy is the underlying structure for everything and vibrates at different rates, but it's when you learn how to access your personal energy in the right way, that it can serve you greatly.
