The Four
Elements
by Debra Silverman
The four elements are the source of all creation. Not only do they show
up in the physical world as the water we drink, the air we breathe, the
food we eat, and the life giving force called the sun, but they also show
up on the inside. The fascinating application is inside the human psyche.
Sometimes I think the distortion of the elements in the outer world is
merely a reflection of how we have handled our inner world.
O
ur emotional bodies are
represented by the element of water, which tends
to be, generally, withheld
and toxic. Our mind is represented by the element
of air, which tends to be
scattered and polluted
with random thoughts that have no order - like the
wind gone wild. Our relationship with food - Earth
- has become disrespectful and impatient, and our
temper is represented by the element of fire and is
far too often irrational and embarrassing.
I can’t tell you how many times in my career I’ve
heard someone ask me, “How can I make a difference on our planet? How can I help the situations
that seem to be overwhelming?” My answer is always the same - take care of the elements inside
of you - in your heart, in your body, with your relationships, and in your mind, and watch the world
change. That’s the fundamental basis of my work
