Getting Ready - The Song of the Earth Energy Centre

When you're getting ready for the sessions, I suggest that you get comfortable, use deep slow breathing to help you to relax, then focus your attention on each of the on-body chakras, in no particular order, and imagine them all flowing into one. Then connect with an Earth energy centre about three feet below your feet and a cosmic centre about three feet above your head, allowing life force energy to flow both up and down through you. (There's more complete notes about the process on the Remote Treatment page).
A beach fire from long ago... *
I've been finding recently when I focus on the Earth energy centre that I get a really strong image of a fire on a beach, flickering flames and gathering darkness - it feels like a scene from long ago. I get a feeling of being part of a wandering group, maybe of hunter-gatherers on some sort of seasonal, cyclical journey, resting by the shores of a great lake during a long journey. 
I'm reminded that our crazy industrial way of life is only a few hundred years old and our agricultural lives just a few thousand, we've spent many more thousands of years, most of our human existence, wandering, exploring, foraging and following herds.
So I suppose that's maybe why I often feel so disconnected from industrial life and from the Earth.
Bruce Chatwin writes beautifully on these lines in his wonderful book, "The Songlines."
