From Complexity to Clarity: Healing with Elemental Medicine
Many people now benefit from making medicine and healing a complicated process. With endless labels for different bodily discomforts and diseases, it is no wonder that we feel disempowered when faced with challenges in the body.
What if healing is easier to understand than we have been led to believe?
When we remove all of the labels, we can strip back the physical aspect of the body to four elements, fire, air, earth, and water. When you can observe these four energies within, you unlock a deep understanding of how your body functions. Each strength and weakness can be connected to these elements.
Elemental medicine supports you in decoding the messages coming from your body in each moment. The fire element within the body expresses itself in our digestion, energy levels, and nervous system regulation. Examples of fire ailments include stomach problems, metabolism irregularities, and circulatory issues.
The earth element is represented by the skeletal system, skin, and lower parts of the body from the hips down. Too much earth energy in the body results in weight gain and problems with mobility. A lack of earth can express itself as nutritional deficiencies, spinning thoughts, and bone ailments.
Water supports the body in exchanging fluids and cleansing toxins. We also use water to regulate our emotions. Ailments that relate to water include chronic dehydration, issues with the womb, and bladder discomforts. Signs that the water is healthy within the body are having regular sleeping patterns and feeling emotionally balanced.
We connect with the air in the body in the heart, lungs, and throat. Through respiration, we ensure a healthy flow of energy within. By understanding how air functions in the body there is an opportunity to come away from the mind and into the heart. This provides more calm thinking and centered decision-making in life.
Difficulties with air element can arise from traumas that cause heartache. This can encourage us to breathe in a shallow manner to avoid feeling the emotional pain in the chest. Furthermore, with overthinking in the mind and high levels of self-criticism, we can experience headaches and migraines.
These are some references above to understand how we can use the ancient wisdom of fire, air, earth, and water to decode the messages that come from the body. The basis of the practice with Elemental Medicine is that your body is always on your side. If you are experiencing pain and discomfort, it is a loving message from your body.
With these alarm bells going off it simply means we are not aligned in some way with the best version of ourselves. Possibly we are holding onto that heartache in the chest and as a result, it becomes challenging in life to attract a new partner. The body will give you signals of pain or discomfort to draw your attention to the block.
The next step we can take is to use mindfulness practices to open to the energy that is in the body. Offering you a deeper self-understanding and liberation from unnecessary burdens. Life is short. These practices with the elements give us the opportunity to make the most of it.
If you would like to receive information about the important messages your body is sharing with you now, you are welcome to book an Elemental Medicine Reading. In this service, I use intuitive body awareness and card reading to receive information through the elements about the energy within your body.
This means that I can sense the strengths and weaknesses that you experience within by channeling information from the elements in your body. Using this gift I have had the honor of relaying many vital messages to clients from their bodies to support their healing process.
When making a booking, you are welcome to share any questions that you have at this time about your body with details about ailments that you desire to heal. I then prepare the reading as a recording for you and send it via email. If you have been desiring a fresh perspective on how to thrive in your body, this is the perfect offer for you.
Many times clients are very surprised by the messages that come through these readings. With the new perspective that it provides, it gives them a renewed sense of confidence to take the next steps in their life. It can be challenging when we are too close to a problem to see it for what it is.
By sharing these messages with clients through the elements, they find it easy to understand the information and what is best for them to do next. With only four energies to focus on, it becomes simple to remain consistent with healthy changes. No labels or confusion just the simple truth of how energy is unfolding.
The healer in me sees the healer in you.
