Yoga for the 4 Elements
Fire, water, earth, and air are the four elements of the Universe. They make up all that is, everything we see around us, and everything we are.None of them are either good or bad, and they each have specific, different properties.Fire, associated with your solar plexus chakra, is connected with passion and inspiration. Water, associated with your sacral chakra, is all about emotion and intuition. Air, associated with your heart and throat chakras, is about communication. Earth, associated with your root chakra, is connected with grounding and stability.There are many different ways to connect with and balance the four elements in your body and life: eating certain foods, meditation, visualization, spending time with the elements in nature, such as the ocean, connecting with crystals associated with each element, and more.But one of my favorite ways to connect with the elements is through using yoga.
The Importance of Sacred Space & How to Create One

It feels safe to put your worries, your fears, your joys, your disappointments, everything that you have and are on the altar there.The best part is that you don’t need anyone to hold this sacred space for you. You can hold it for yourself.What is it, exactly? It’s any space that you set aside as sacred or holy. It’s a place where you can meditate, do magic and ritual, and connect to your highest self. This might look like an altar, or it might not.

Do you feel worthy of love and comfortable setting boundaries?
