Four Elements

The Four Elements - What they taught me during 200hr YTT.

Earth.

Seeds scattered and planted. Some years ago, some recent, some watered, some stored. Waiting to bloom, waiting to rise. Trusting. Patience. Grounded. To take on new life, new meaning. To transform. To come undone. Shedding layers, removing masks — what if it doesn’t last? Flowers do not worry or fear before they bloom. Do not be afraid to shine bright, all you must do is turn and face the light.

Water.

Flow and release. Embrace and repeat. To let go of the hold, the grip I hung on to so tight. Release and surrender, it is time to let go of the fight. Clinging to pain, clinging to worry — I am here, writing a new story. Releasing the pain, thanking it and becoming free. I now know my home is and always will be — deep inside of me.

Fire.

Coming home and coming alive. An ember in my chest, dimmed for quite some time. Befriend me, it said. I am not here to harm. Use me to create and I will help keep you strong. Slowly burning and burning, the bigger the flame gets — I feel alive in the place I thought I needed rest. My heart expands, my chest is open. Like a beautiful wave, connecting back into the ocean.

Air.

Freedom and grace. Healing is a journey and I am in the right place. I want to be free and continue to heal. Loving every part of me, none left behind. Soaring with the birds, connected to the sky. Looking below, I see someone stumbling along — give it all away now, air whispers - this is the purpose of it all.
