Setting a Gaian Meditative Practice

by Erik Assadourian | posted in: Gaian Practices and Rituals, Learning from Other Traditions | 3

What should a daily Gaian meditative practice look like? How about an outdoor meditation three times a day to help us connect with Gaia and our purpose, and to improve our health and well-being at the same time.

The Gaian Creed

“We believe that the Earth, Gaia, is a living being. That Gaia is at the same time composed of the vast diversity of life and is alive in Her own right. We understand that we depend completely and utterly on Gaia and are part of Gaia. We recognize that current human actions are fundamentally altering Gaia and that if pushed too far, Gaia will shift from Her current state to one inhospitable to humans and millions of other species. Therefore, we commit to living radically sustainable lives—even to an extent that it may alienate us from our kin, our communities, our cultures. We commit to sharing our philosophy and bringing others to understand and embrace their relationship with Gaia and help heal Gaia—and in the process, themselves, their families, and their communities.”
