Unsere Verbundenheit mit der Erde, die uns trägt
(physikalisches Körpererleben), dem Wasser als
Grundsubstanz unseres Körpers, der Luft, über die
wir Sauerstoff aufnehmen, dem Licht und der Wärme,
die unser Leben erst ermöglicht und unsere vom
zentralen Nervensystem geprägten Sinnesorgane
(Augen, Ohren etc.) bieten uns die physikalisch-
physiologische Lebensgrundlage.
'Carries' doesn't sound right and to be honest I am not completely grasping the intended idea, making it more difficult!

Just an idea - or "bears" perhaps?

Heidi Stone-Schaller
: I tend to agree with you because of the "physikalisches Körpererleben" in brackets--this seems to indicate it is more about the sensation of being "earth-borne" (as in air-borne)---like your first answer best

forms the foundation of [to?] our life
That'd be one possibility as "trägt" refers back to the planet we live on (in the sense of "Planet Earth that forms the foundation of our life").
Trying to decompose/clarify the German:
Unsere Verbundenheit mit:
- der Erde, die uns trägt
(physikalisches Körpererleben),
- dem Wasser als Grundsubstanz unseres Körpers,
- der Luft, über die wir Sauerstoff aufnehmen,
- dem Licht und der Wärme, die unser Leben erst ermöglicht,
und unsere vom zentralen Nervensystem geprägten Sinnesorgane

Wahrscheinlich, obwohl "die uns trägt" m.E. dann wieder eine Doppeldeutigkeit beinhaltet...

Yes, admittedly, I should've seen this "clash" in the first place ;-) (so pls disregard my answer - "supports" would do the trick nicely)
