Yoga Practices To Increase The Earth Element

The tattva of strength, form, endurance, and vitality is called Prithvi, or Earth. The Prithvi namaskar pays homage to this heavenly tattva, which we refer to as our home. The tattva of strength, form, endurance, and vitality is Pritvi, the Earth. It is the definition of humility since it assumes the forms of mountains, valleys, hills, and beaches while still supporting the weight of everything that tramples on its surface. She is the guardian of many mysteries because the location of your digging will affect whether you find diamonds and gems or just pebbles and sand.

During the preliminary stages of your practice, concentrate on perfecting the asnas. As you deepen your practice and your state of dharna, close your eyes and look within as you perform this  namaskar. Through the practice of this namaskar, which is a vinyasa consisting of 27 counts, the body forges the capacity to imbibe the divine qualities of the Earth Tattva. This Namaskar can be performed at any time of the day, on an empty stomach.

 Prithvi Mudra

Formation

•             Sit down in a meditative pose such as Sukhasana or Padmasana and keep your back straight.

•             Allow the tips of your thumb and ring fingers to gently touch each other

•             Straighten the rest of your fingers

•             Do this with both hands and place the back of your palms on your knees

•             Close your eyes and direct your attention to your breath

•             In this mudra, the elements (tattvas) Agni and Prithvi are connected at the mool (or the tip of your fingers).

The Prithvi element within us stands for the framework that gives the human body its shape. The body develops the ability to absorb the holy attributes of the Earth Tattva via the regular practise of this namaskar, a vinyasa with 27 counts. Gupta Padmasana, Karnapeedasana, Pindasana, Mayurasana, and Kukkutasana are a few asanas with Prithvi as their parent quality. During your practise, you should concentrate on the Prithvi tattva's Dharana. Think about this while your body honours this mighty being.
