It relates to material concerns as well as financial security.

In nature, the Element of Earth is all concrete things. It appears everywhere, from mountains, deserts, to caves and rocks. The Earth Element also is seen in our household structures and walls.

In the physical body, the Earth Element is what gives us structure. It relates to our muscles and bones. In the tissue sense there is an awareness of the strength and contraction of muscle tone. Emotionally, the Earth Element gives strength, courage and steadiness. On the flip side, this element can be stubborn and lazy.

Sculpture has been given as the art of the Earth Element. It is three dimensional and structured. In addition, Earth Element art is also aromatherapy. Earth puts us in touch with the sense of smell.
