Is this right for me?

That’s a big question, isn’t it? We ask ourselves this regularly even if not with these words. We doubt our own capabilities or our fitness in a group. You might be asking yourself this as you learn about our community and Elemental Wisdom. But I promise you that question won’t serve you as well as asking instead whether this is right for you. Now the answer to that question is much easier. So long as you are a living, breathing consciousness you are already intrinsically tied to the foundations of life around you. The relationship is as natural as child and mother. You are right for this because this is right for you. Nurture the symbiosis between yourself and the elements.

You are starting a journey that’ll take time and effort. Be patient and kind to yourself. As you delve further into Elemental Wisdom I recommend checking in on yourself and your progress. Here are some questions to get you started. I encourage you to use these as journal prompts. 

• How does my body feel when I am completely grounded and present?

• What natural environment do I live in? Does this serve my elemental needs?

• How do I feel when completely surrounded by nature?

• Without moving, can I find representatives of each element in my eyesight?

• What is my relationship with each element?

• How open am I to understanding new perspectives and people?
