Earth Magic: Working with the Elements of Earth and Aether
What is Elemental Medicine and why would we use it?
The Elements of the earth are the foundation of our world. Each element carries different medicine, gifts, and an energetic blueprint. Elements are all a part of us. We each carry different energies of these in our body and soul. The only difference between us and any other living being is the way our cells and these elements are combined.
When we work with the elements, we work with aspects that are alive within each of us.
Elemental medicine can help us deepen our intentions, whether they are to heal something, release something, empower us, or bring something into our physical reality (like manifesting). We also deepen our connection to Mother Earth and all that is within and around us — both visible and invisible — when we work with them. This is a brief dive into each of the 5 elements…
