ANALYZING EARTH PEOPLE

EARTH PEOPLE:

Think of the earth and what it needs to survive.

The earth needs to be nourished and in turn it nourishes all.

Earth has to have the balance of just enough water and just enough dryness. (Too much water and you have a flood and too much dryness and you have drought.)

Being the nurturer is an earth personality so, Earth people are caretakers and fixers, they can't help themselves.

They can sometimes become quite the nuisance and in-your-face with advice and wisdom on how things should be done, whether you want it or not.

They can be the first on the scene of an accident, ready to give a helping hand and cannot resist getting involved where others will stand by and watch.

Earth people tend to have weight problems because they constantly need nourishing,

THE NEXT ELEMENT IS They can become quite the gossipers, all in the quest to help people, so they say.

Earth people are good planners and organizers. If you are having a party, have an Earth do all the planning. You will have a really excellent, successful party. So they tend to keep notes about their notes.

At the same time, they can be disorganized and in disarray most of the time in their surroundings, depending on how earthy they are.( how high or low is their percentage) If they have a lot of metal too, they will be more organized than other Earths are.

They are very giving , as we see in nature, Earth gives to us all the time.

They are known as brooders as they think too much about everything. (Yin imbalance)

They care deeply what others are thinking and saying about them, and will brood about it when people show their disapproval of whatever they say or do. So Earths are people-pleasers.

Their need for constant approval and love is almost unquenchable.

If you have an Earth child, they will be constantly wanting hugs and attention where your fire child doesn’t have time for such stuff. It’s not that they don’t love you, it’s just that they are a Fire, being a Fire.

By the power of choice and learning better ways to cope, Earth people can overcome a tendency to gossip or trying to fix people or be a people pleaser or even care what people think about them.

Earth people have health problems in the area of the core of their being, mainly their digestive tract; a tendency toward constipation, bloating, gas and indigestion .

I understand the Earths better because I am one. I personally know that one can overcome tendencies that no longer serve them, such as caring what people think about them, gossip and wasting time on the phone and being a people-pleaser.

Their over-concern nature burns them out and affects their immune system .

Sweets are their weakness.

Suggestions for Earth people:

Earth people would do well to keep their foods in balance, not too much of anything.

If indigestion strikes, peppermint essential oil is really helpful rubbed on mid-section and a few drops on the tongue.

When constipated , more fiber, like a few prunes help along with lots more water. (Many Earths forget to drink enough and become too dry inside and out.)

Earths must listen to their own body as it will tell them when they have had too much or not enough. Resisting the temptation to indulge in too much or to starve themselves are both needful for an imbalanced constitution.
