“Health is not the absence of disease, it's a reflection of a balanced life”

EARTH - Your Physical Body | Ground and earth yourself Into the physical Seemingly solid and still Underneath always moving Up-taking nutrients, processing, transforming, utilising Moulding and recreating Like play-dough Create a stable foundation Of bones, muscles and sinew Stretching, compacting, applying pressure of exercise Mixing with vital nutrients In your organs To provide organic growth Reap what you sow Celebrate your harvest And then till the soil clear with rest For the next harvest Without consistent exercise, nutrients, water and rest The body cannot regenerate Too much in excess, or not enough Can lead to waste and decay Wear and tear Imbalance and disharmony A grounded approach Of simplicity and earthy wisdom Supports the body To bear the fruit of regeneration and balance |
FIRE - Your Etheric/Vital Body | Get fired up Build your inner fire A flame of desire To invigorate Light up your life Without a flame Is essentially death A walking shell, no spark Asleep to life Too much desire, an excess of energy Can rage through like a bushfire Annihilate bonds, homes, life Without a care Dominates, bullies, like a dictatorship Power hungry Or just excess static That disrupts, electrocutes, circuit breaks With no resistance But to connect to your eternal flame If gently flickering Then built up to a glowing fireplace Provides life force A warm hearth So you can feel supported and held To claim your true desires And a beautiful vitality |
WATER - Your Emotional Body | Be fluid in your expression Never only one emotion, always changing, morphing To dam up is to stagnate until the dam breaks A flood of emotion burst forth Leaving destruction in its wake Like a tsunami No emotion Is to become dried up Like an old prune No juice All that is left is morality Allow it to trickle, to weave, to flow An undulating river of emotion Creates bonds and breeds life Connects us to each other And within you Allow the undulating spring of all emotions Sadness, anger, fear, shame Joy and compassion And everything in between Cleanses you through |
AIR - Your Mental Body | Free flow your thoughts Allow creativity Its light, effervescent, ethereal nature Never stops, new thoughts springing forth Again and again ...Sometimes like a gale Turbulent thoughts Creating gusts of unrest Nothing to hold onto as you get blown asunder Or a tornado spinning round and round Stuck in same thought over and over again Driving you mad, creating delusion As you lift off, ungrounded ...Sometimes heavy and not moving Like a humid day Uncomfortable No relief, no insight No tangible solutions Stuck in sticky confusion Or heavy depressing self talk Pulling you down Don’t know what to do Unable to move on ...Sometimes like a beautiful zephyr Kissing your cheek Bringing insight, relief, deep wisdom Refreshing, salty ocean breezes Delicious mountain air Realisation that uplifts and invigorates Inspiration and clarity And the mind is clear |
ETHER - Spirit | Ever present Inter-connected All that is And ever was Spirit Permeates through our existence The silence between words Space between molecules and bonds The intangible glue that binds us Connecting us together Always present Eternal Beyond our physical, vitality, emotion or thought And yet pervades it all Summoning Spirit With true vulnerability and surrender Through holding of spaces To heal and be whole Of a pregnant, still mind Of unconditional love and connection Of an eternal well of potential energy Of physical poise and equilibrium Spirit can create An implicit order Of true harmony and health Across all your bodies Invoke Spirit |
