Increase Or Decrease Your Earth Element
-
If you'd like to increase the amount of Earth inside you, to become more grounded, or serious, or if you're giddy etc...
Exhale and form a box of earth between your hands in front of you. Feel the relative warmth, dryness, heaviness, all the qualities of Earth. It shouldn't be moist though.
Then inhale and feel the box of earth going inside you. Do this is many times as needed. 3-4 is sometimes enough.
To decrease earth, raise your spirits and feel lighter if you're stressed. Inhale as you form the box of earth, and then as you exhale quickly, drop the box into a hole in the ground.
Hope this works for you. -
This could be done in the preliminary states of meditation before Magick, as simply explained in Liber O.
If invoking Earth with pentagram or hexagram rituals, you could concentrate Earth into you before you begin for invokings, and cast Earth out of you for banishings.

Or you could like a planter play with the dirt between your fingers, noticing it's heat, it's granularity (not all earths are the same), it's connectiveness (if there's any "wood" tying it together), it's weight (humus is moist, sand can be dry, moisture holds more weight), the nature of it's richness, whether it's been supplied attentiveness by consciousness be it rain, worm, ant or you, and thus made more characteristic of a particular kind of earth, which indicates what kinds of elemental influences have been signature of it's nature.
This can provide a multiordinal dimensional intensity of engagement with the element earth. Not to be done without the astral and mental work, but, in it's own way, satifactorally satifying it. The Thelemite should not be afraid to get his hands dirty.
