#5 - "The Flooded" (aka High Water)
When your 4 elements are in harmony & balanced: thoughts (air), emotions (water), passions & motivations (fire) and your actions (earth), your life is happier & you can easily solve conflicts that come up right away and get back to enjoying your day. When you are stuck in a repetitive conflict, one of our 4 Elements is either too high or too low and needs to be re-balanced to bring harmony & happiness back to your life. What does your Water Element (Emotions) do for you:Your Water Element helps you connect in with your core values, keeping you firmly rooted and on track in life. They also helps you connect with other people on a safe, intimate & deep way and let's you know where your boundaries need to be. It is also where your intuition lives & gives you guidance. It is here that you connect in with your emotions and can let go of the past pain & connect with others deeply & lovingly.💔Does this sound familiar right now:You are likely absorbing other's emotions and avoiding those people which feel overwhelming to you or trying to control them so they don't overwhelm you. You might be people pleasing, or put other's needs first before you own. You can be swept up in your emotions and they can take over your day in a negative way. ❤️How you will feel when "The Flooding" has stopped❤️:In flow, connected to people & activities in a nourishing way (not a draining way), trusting yourself and others, being able to navigate any emotion you feel, having compassion for yourself, setting boundaries that feel good & safe to you, getting internal guidance, able to make decisions easily based on your core values, in touch with yourself, values and emotions, & feeling safe.I have over 8 different ways to help you with this imbalance, but I don't want to overwhelm you, so here is one of my client's favorites that you can start using today:Adding some Fire Element (Passion & Motivation) will help balance High Water (Emotions). Journal about all the people or things that don't bring your joy, feel like a drain on your energy or that you are not attracted to being around. Now I want you to ask yourself, do I want to keep those people in my life. If you don't want to, you can release them energetically in your mind by cutting the cord between you two. This is a ritual I do with my clients along with a number of other energetic rituals to end relationships that are no longer serving your highest good. Now for the people you want to keep in your life, I want you to ask yourself, what is one loving boundary you could put in place that would make you fell less overwhelmed or drained. For example, if I am feeling overwhelmed or drained, I often tell the other person "I am at capacity, and while I love them, I need to take care of myself right now too and we can talk later." Fire (Passions & Motivations) helps keep you and the ones you love warm, but you can also create a figurative ring of fire to keep people out of your life that are draining you. Fire will help you shift out of your negative emotions and into what makes you happy/joyful, what you are attracted to, so you can get something positive from the relationship as well. I like to say that a healthy relationship has a warm fire at the center, with a beautiful ring of stones around it (like a fire pit) to serve as loving boundaries, to keep everyone safe from getting burned, but still warm & toasty. Envision your fire pit/ring in your head, who do you want sitting around it enjoying life (and maybe a s'more or two) with you, and who do you want to leave your fire ring right now?
