Earth • Air • Fire • Water | Discover the 4 elements within yourself

Elements of the natural world

The Shamanism say we are created from the elements of the natural world: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. The world as we know it is created from these four elements as well, and we can observe them all around us in nature. Hence, we and our environment are made from the same fundamental building blocks.

In this way, each of us is a miniature universe, a mirror of both the natural and the spiritual worlds. All the knowledge and secrets of these two worlds are inside of us and everything is perfectly arranged. Shamanism teaches us to tap into that arrangement, to understand it and to live in harmony with the natural and spiritual worlds.

We must balance the elemental forces in our lives in order to find our peace and purpose. This balance is not only a physical balance but an emotional, mental and spiritual one as well. Fire is connected to our wisdom and memory, Water represents beauty and purification, Air offers us the breath of life, and Earth provides us a foundation with the power of love. By cultivating our connection with the four elements, we can empower ourselves and bring balance to our life.

May we all strive to create elemental balance, follow our hearts and embrace the Chakra (essence of life) that comes with it!
