Element of Water
You cannot learn to swim by sitting on the side of the pool watching others cavort in the water; you have to take the plunge and learn to float.
-Karen Armstrong
The elements are our connection to Mother Earth. All living things are made up of earth, air, fire and water. When we connect to the elemental energies around us, we live in flow and solidify our connection to Source.
The element of water symbolizes our dreams, intuition, purification and healing. Represented in the west, like a sunset over the ocean, water represents the end of a cycle.
The powerful element reminds us that everything is in motion, fluid and shapeless. When conflict arises, “Be like water”, said Bruce Lee.
Call upon the element of water and water archetypes when you need cleansing, healing and maternal energy. Water gives you the power to learn from emotional experiences. And ultimately, to cleanse away the old in preparation for new beginnings. A new day awaits.

I am cleansed of all low vibes. I listen to my intuition and feel my emotions.
Too Much Water
You can be fearful and lack the confidence to shine your light. Take baby steps to share your art with the world.
