The Healing Nature of Earth

by Liz Alexander

What can be more fundamental to our existence than the Earth itself? Our connection to the planet is encapsulated in the ancient archetype of Earth as the nurturing Great Mother, Gaia - a concept revered by our ancestors who understood the intricate balance between Earth and humanity.

The Healing Nature of Earth delves into this timeless relationship, bridging ancient wisdom with contemporary insights into Earth's energies. It explores creation myths and the symbolism of Earth as the benevolent Mother, alongside rituals and beliefs that span cultures and scientific disciplines.

This book explains ways to enhance personal well-being - whether mental, physical, or spiritual - empowering us to look toward holistic healing and forging a harmonious path forward for both ourselves and to safeguard the health of our fragile planet.

This latest (August 2022) professional review appeared on Readers' Favorite site: (in full here: https://readersfavorite.com/book-revi...)

E.S. Alexander's Georgian era classic is simply stunning. The attention to detail is nothing short of perfect with her storyline carrying the mood of constant conflict that was the order of the day in The British East Indies at the time. Her writing style and character creation are reminiscent of Jane Austen's with a harder-hitting edge but more graphic; getting fired for suggesting one can buy elbow grease does not get any funnier. I daresay it would be difficult to top this. The suspense stays heightened all through the story right up to the shocking culmination. Lies That Blind: A Novel of Late 18th Century Penang is brilliant writing at its best.

Gosh... I have no words. This is everything and more I could have hoped for in a book about the powerhouse that is Mother Nature and her ability to heal and aid - as well as our sufferable disconnection from her as a modern-day society, followed by methods and ways to help you ground yourself again, reconnect, cherish, and just completely become one with your outdoor surroundings again. I WISH I had discovered this book when it was first published as 'The Healing Energies of Earth'.

It's just... Beautiful. And I'm thankful to the author and Gaia publishers for publishing this book and blessing people with this knowledge. THIS is the sort of thing they should teach you in school.
Though they are by different authors, I cannot wait to read the next 2 books in this series.
Healing Nature of Water, coming to you next!

Great book! I really appreciate the references and everything I learned in this book. I do like how it talks about different religions and cultures and certain sacred areas and their relationship with Earth.
