working with the elements

everything that is, comes from earth, air, fire, and water.
as business owners, we can work with these four elements
to find, feel and fully embody deep fulfillment in our service.
+ Earth is your foundation, your structure, your systems.
+ Air is your ideas, your teachings, your what.
+ Fire is your passion, Your heart, Your why.
+ water is your intuition, your emotions, your story.
Balancing the elements within your business
If you can’t get things done, or if you feel like you can’t make things happen for yourself, consider that you are lacking earthly elements.
If you’re so caught up in structure that you lack the passion and inspiration that drives people into action and transforms their life, consider that you need to invite other elements into your life besides earth.
If you are struggling to communicate or provide for your team, consider that you need to invite the air element into your life.
If you can’t commit to one thing and are always changing up the offerings of your business, consider that you need to find balance in the other elements besides air.
If you can’t visualize your dream or outcomes your fire element may not be ignited.
If you find yourself getting bored or burnt out quickly, consider inviting other elements in besides fire.
If you don’t see your life flowing , if you don’t feel connected, or find it challenging to open up publically, you may need to be more welcoming to your water element.
If you find it challenging to shift from the feminine energy (yin), to masculine (yang), you should be open to invoking other elements than water.
