The Body of the Earth

Your body is the body of the Earth.

Your breath, the air.

Your blood, the waters.

Your spirit, the fires.

The same elements

that created the Earth

are the same elements

that created your body.

There is no separation.

You and the Earth are one.

In animism,

we learn that everything

in nature is alive

and has a spirit.

In Shamanism,

we learn to live in harmony

with ourselves,

with others,

with the Earth,

and with life itself.
