When I read of the Earth's concerns about humanity and their negative effects on her, I was reminded of something that I've come across again and again, and that is the suggestion to send our toxic energy down into the Earth in order to clear and energize ourselves. Many spiritual seekers/innovators teach it as a part of deep breathing. The idea is to take deep cleansing breaths, and to send everything gathered up in each cleansing breath into the Earth via a tube that runs from the crown chakra to the root chakra by extending that tube deep down into the Earth. The belief seems to be that this is a way for us to connect to the Earth, and that the Earth can easily process all this energy and is just waiting to receive and transmute it for us.

It always felt wrong to me, and I kept thinking that as spiritual seekers we relate to the Earth as a living, sentient being, so how could it be friendly and respectful to send toxic anything into her? We don't want to pollute the Earth with physical toxic substances, so shouldn't we also be taking great care not to pollute her with energetic toxic substances?

It turns out there is an effective alternative. It's an easy, built in way that anyone can use to detox daily (or many times a day) and it doesn't involve the Earth at all. It involves the Recycling Chakra, which is located above the head, and sending any toxic energy quickly through the central channel of the body, out the top of the head and into that chakra.

I'm hoping Sherry can comment, since it's such a useful energy practice. There have been some changes in the last few days, and there may be details in the way to use it that are important to know.
