Turning into the elements
coloredtoenails/Katie

Air: Find a place exposed to the breeze. Stand facing the wind, and feel it blowing against your clothes and skin, lifting your hair. Listen to it, and let the wind stir the energy within you, lifting your spirit and inspiring your mind. Raise your airm to the wind and say: "I am Air!"

Fire: Sit comfortably in front of an open fire. Listen to the sounds of the fire as it burns. Fell the heat on your face and body. If you have any music that makes you want to dance, play it now, and dance with the fire, feeling your spirit raising with the flames. As your body heat rises, stop and face the fire, arems wide, and say: "I am Fire!"

Water: Sit next to a deep pool, a rippling stream, a waterfall, or the ocean. Imagine swimming into the depths to discover secrets hidden there. Watch the movement of the water and listen to it bubbling and splashing. Put your hands in the water and say: "I am Water!"

Earth: Go to a park, a forest or a field where you would feel comfortable about lying down on the ground. Feel the ground beneath you, and smell its scents. Feel yourself sinking into the Earth, enveloped in the arms of the Earth Mother. Feel that your own body is an extension of the Earth and say: "I am Earth!"
Take off your shoes and walk barefoot on grass, keeping that feeling of connection with the Earth as you walk.
