		</p><p>Earth represents the energy of nurturing, abundance, welcoming, and home. As we create a place of welcoming and home, we find our power. As we allow abundance to come into our lives, we attract all of the things we desire: community, support, financial prosperity, good health, and well-being!</p>
<p>A ritual I want to share with you is one that helps us find that sense of “home,” the place where we can openly welcome positive change to come into our lives.</p>
<p>Remember, no matter what the circumstances are in your life, there are some very real, very powerful, very transformative things you can do to change your life!</p>
<h2>Channel Positive Energy into an Earth Shrine</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-481" title="Rainbow Over Lush Valley" src="http://www.tobychristensen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ih-1.jsp_-300x222.jpg" alt="Beautiful Valley with Rainbow" width="300" height="222" />The first step is to create an Earth shrine. Find a place in your home where the energy feels good; a place where you like to hang out, a place that feels welcoming. Make a mound of dirt approximately 2 feet in diameter and about 10 inches high. As you work with the dirt, invite the spirit of the Earth to be present and occupy the shine and come to your assistance.</p>
<p>Next, place a flat stone on top of the shrine. Make a circle of ash on the stone, then take some water and pour it on the middle of the stone. As the water washes away the ash, ask for the obstacles to be removed that are preventing you from connecting to the energy of earth: nurturing, abundance, welcoming, and home.</p>
<p>If you cannot build a shrine outside, collect a bowl of dirt and place it on a yellow cloth. Ask the spirit of Earth to occupy the shrine as if it were outside. Without the stone or water, ask for the obstacles that prevent you from connecting to the energy of the Earth to be removed.</p>
<p>Then watch as your life begins to change. Every day for the rest of the month, go to your Earth shrine and express gratitude for three or more things in your life!</p>

		</p><p><a href="http://www.tobychristensen.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/secret-beach.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-42" title="secret-beach" src="http://www.tobychristensen.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/secret-beach-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Ok I have the good fortune to be in a position to buy my next house. I am very excited and have been thinking&#8230;where should I move. I love Park City, but to be in town where I like to be the houses are way beyond my current financial situation. So What do you think? My trusted friend and assistant Suzanne said, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you ask the people who know and support you where they think you should live?&#8221; GREAT IDEA!! So until I can afford my ski in ski out Deer Valley home what do you think?</p>
<p>So here is my criteria. I would like to be 30 min or less from a major airport, the house must have a basement for a recording studio, 1,000 square feet or more. Living space of 1,500 SQ.Ft or more and a house payment of $2,000 or less. I need room for workshops and drum circles. As well as music making!!</p>
<p>So Far, Cincinnati Ohio and Reunion Colorado are at the top of the list.</p>
<p>Let me know what you think!!</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Toby</p>
