Work with your element to get you started.
To start with familairity and affintity if available often leads to a easier and also a good start.
Each element has much to offer. We all have our affinities with the elements.
The Earth element is very helpful for meditation. As all the elements are. It is the earth element that may teach us the most to start with.
Being present is mostly related to being grounded, that is to the Earth.
It is difficult to focus in meditation if we are not grounded. When we are not grounded we are too easily overcome by the air element in our thoughts and the tendencey to float around amongst the winds of thought.
Establishing and maintianing a practice of presence or meditiation is very much related to the Earth element.
To learn more and draw more from any element we need to become one of the features of that element.
For exmaple to draw from the Earth element become a mountain. To draw from the water element become a lake. To draw from the air element become a cloud. To draw from the fire element become a flame.
The Gods of the Earth, Gob and Kitichi can help us just as Master Samael says. They can help us to become familiar and draw from the element of Earth. They can help us to delevelop the qualities that Earth has.
To be a mountain by first imagining a mountain and then bringing a mountain into us and becoming a mountain and finally meditating as a mountian we can see the trasncendenetal and useful qualities of Earth.
Seeing those qualities we can then see what we lack. As soon as we can see what we can develop we have information to work with and ask help for to expand.
