Elements | September
As I sit here writing this from my backyard on a nice sunny day, feeling into the elements of the air, water, earth, and fire, I am feeling a deeper connection to nature.
The elements have way more power and presence than we often realize. They aren’t just external forces; they live within us, shaping our thoughts, movements, and emotions.
Fire is heat, energy, and passion—a primal force that drives us to pursue our deepest desires and fuels creativity. It burns away the old to create new beginnings. Fire ignites passion and evokes strong emotions like anger and jealousy, teaching us to channel our energy wisely.
Earth is solidity, the grounding force that keeps us stable. As I press my feet into the ground, I feel its steady support, reminding me to stay rooted, even when life’s storms rage. Earth teaches us to be still, to find strength in presence.
Water is fluidity, the ability to flow and adapt, the feminine. It’s the breeze carrying moisture, the cool glass in my hand, the waves that move with rhythm. Water teaches us to go with the flow, to embrace change, reminding us that strength and softness coexist.
Air is mobility, expansion, and vibration—an invisible force that’s always in motion, closely linked to the mind. It is flexible, free-flowing, independent, and light, connecting to our skin and senses, bringing awareness. Air teaches us to expand, to trust the flow of possibility, even as it is quick to change directions.
Nature is not something outside of us; it is something we are deeply intertwined with. By connecting to ourselves and the elements, we reconnect to the essence of who we are—fluid, grounded, fiery, and free.
By dancing with the elements, we connect deeply to our sensuality, power, and the raw essence of our feminine energy.
