Through my journey of self-discovery, connecting with nature and the energetics of astrology really helped me understand the nature of who I am. As children we are each born with a divine essence or a true nature. We revel in and are so connected to it because it is all we know. It is when external influences are interjected that we tend to lose that connection with who we truly are.

Learning about connecting with the Elements helped me connect with the nature of who I am again. One of my teachers, Sajah Popham, opened my eyes to a whole new world. The concept of natura sophia, that nature is alive and we are a part of it, not separate from it. He also introduced me to the concept of medical astrology. Through astrology I learned about the nature of who I am by working with the elements of my birth chart. Each sign of the zodiac correlates to one of the elements of nature. It really helped me understand why I am the way I am. It strengthened my confidence and my intuition in myself which I had repeatedly struggled with throughout my life.

For example, I have a lot of elements of air and fire in my chart. The air element is associated with the mind or the intellectual body. Learning fuels me and energizes me. It also explained why I have a tendency to get stuck in my head. My elemental make up helped me understand why I have always been so drawn to nature. The earth element balances and grounds excessive air. This is why getting out in nature and grounding is so important to me, it anchors me. As kids, we intuitively know what we need but often lose sight of the simple things life has to offer as an adult. The element of fire is associated with your vital force and spiritual body. This explained why as an adult I have been seeking answers, connecting with my intuition, and crave meditation.

This Saturday, I am hosting a workshop called the Elements of Your Health at Belmont Yoga. If you would like to learn more about connecting with and balancing the elements within you, I would love to see you there!

We are trained in school to believe we are separate from nature when actually we are one. Having a connection with the natural world is an inherent part of what it means to be human and many people have lost or forgotten this connection.

The Elements of Nature (Earth, Water, Fire, Air) are the foundation for understanding the universal language of life on this planet. We all contain each of the elements within us but may have a preference or a stronger element(s) that makes up our constitution. However, sometimes when the elements become imbalanced it can lead to dysfunction in the body. 

This is why the elements are the basis for many healing traditions across the globe because our ancestors understood the importance of learning from Nature: Ayurveda, Chakras, Chinese Medicine, Medical Astrology.

When you know your elemental constitution you can implement specific practices such as lifestyle, nutrition, and herbs to balance an excessive or weak element within your being.

I’m leading a workshop called the Elements of Your Health at Belmont Yoga a week from today! In this workshop, we will dive into the energetics of each element, the reflection of the elements within you, what balanced health looks like for that element, and strategies to shift your body into a state in which it can begin to heal.

Join me on November 19th for a 2-hour workshop focused on elements of your health. I would love to help you connect with the nature of who you are.
