Water, Air, Earth and Fire: Harmonizing Your Energy Through Elements

Episode 301: In this episode, Madelyn talks about an amazing book, The Missing Element, that she just received from a previous podcast guest, Astrologer - Debra Silverman. This book discusses the four elements — air, earth, water, and fire and how they affect your inner world. Many of us are on a quest to learn more about ourselves and others, and perhaps now more than ever — when we're deep into the Coronavirus quarantine, it's a great time to go within and learn more about how you function as an individual. The Missing Element was written for all of us who have ever felt that something was “wrong” with us, that we are odd and outside the norm. This book helps you to see beyond your perceived flaws to find your 'true' self, your gifts and your place in this world. You don't have to have an extensive Astrology background to understand these profound teachings. This is a fun playground to explore so you can learn more about yourself and others.

The observer vs the ego.

Fire: can be very destructive, very transformative energy, the life of the party, likes to figure it out as they go along - not a lot of structure, judged a lot, helpful to find forms of movement that create heat in your body, impulsive, it’s okay to slow down, they love to love and to be adored, learn how to listen if you’re a fire sign, very competitive, impatient, enjoys traveling. Earth: loves stability, rituals are very important, safety/security is a top priority, have a hard time investing in themselves, great with their hands - get the job done, plant the metaphorical seed, dependable, they can sometimes lack fire/spontaneity, never give themselves a pat on the back.  Air: more inclined to see us all as one, they love information and learning, very curious, auditory, co-dependent, flirtatious, must be balanced with earth, they talk super fast, do more earth grounding work, work on your voice, stimulating conversations, not great listeners - cut people off.  Embodying the elements Qigong practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Y8QSVyYhM The Quarantine Cocoon - a stay-at-home resource guide: maddymoon.com/cocoon Connect with Maddy:  Facebook: https://facebook.com/moonfitness/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/madelynmoon/ Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes: http://maddymoon.com/itunes Download my Four Favourite Feminine Embodiment Practices: https://maddymoon.com/freegift Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
