the hope that I can change the world from the inside out.
There is a growing number of people who are reading books (air), studying mediation (water), doing
yoga (earth), and going to the movies (fire) in an
effort to find the impetus for transformation - all
without realizing that the actual change required
must begin with a conscious decision. It’s not
enough to read, eat, watch, or try – what’s required
is an awareness around the power of your choosing
to be the agent of change. Whichever one of these
things you don’t do - read, eat healthy food, exercise, or meditate is your missing element. What I
have found most difficult in my own work is helping and encouraging people to do the counter-intuitive thing, to go against their natural impulse
and introduce something unfamiliar – to introduce
their missing element into their lives.
What is your missing element, what are you resisting? Resistance is merely the indicator of a lazy
ego. The ego doesn’t want to do what your soul is
asking for. If you ask me, this human reaction is a
bad design.

By observing yourself and finding out what element you are missing in your own life it is my hope
that you will in turn, enroll your agents of change,
and start transforming on the inside out by introducing something new. For me as a mixture of air
and fire I had to learn to it to was cleaning my closets and taking care of money and practicality. I was
missing Earth. That’s what I resisted said the airhead. My life became balanced once I included the
missing element.
Our planet, a beautiful mix of all the elements is in
trouble, we’ve poisoned the water, polluted the air,
pulled the raw materials from the Earth and fires
rage on in all corners of the planet as it is tipped
out of balance. There are 7 billion people on this
planet – everyone you’ve ever known is here. The
question is, will you play your role in the tapestry
of life in respect of the elements? It will make all
the difference in the world. Don’t ever underestimate the power of one in tandem with the right
use of the elements. The world was created by the
four elements and it will either be destroyed by our
inability to dance with them or it will be healed –
it’s our choice.
