Finding out your energies

Earth + Fire

It does not take a years-long journey to determine with 2 elements you connect to the strongest. Think of a natural force that gives you an intense energetic charge. What excites you? What is out there that you find yourself particularly sensitive to? Most surfers for example get their energetic charge from the water, especially powerful waves churning up in the ocean, propagating towards the shore. For those who find that they have a deep connection to water, they can then determine whether their other energy source is air or earth. If it is air, the individual is excited and energized by weather events and is usually fond of snow. However, there are those who prefer warm weather and a breeze by the seaside gives them a great sense of joy.

Earth + Water

If it is with earth, then perhaps they thoroughly enjoy nurturing a plant or life in general. When I think of earth and water, I picture the maternal archetype. The men out there who may be reading this who connect to earth and water can imagine being a loving father or fatherly figure. Those associated with air tend to be the type to love traveling and are often the most social. Those associated with air and fire are usually the ones most likely on the go most frequently. One would imagine they are most often prone to having more of an ego - likely the most masculine with males. Fire and air are the masculine elements as earth and water are the feminine energies. Typically, someone associated with air and fire are likely the most easily invigorated.

Air + Fire

Those associated with air and water can vary in temperament. They can often be open and easygoing, yet they can also be uptight and pragmatic. They are generally caring and often outgoing and social. Probably the most complicated of them all are people of earth and fire energies, like me. Those associated with earth can generally be moody and that combined with fire can even make for moments of brooding hostility. Like a volcano, our tempers can be explosive. However, not everyone associated with the fire element has a bad temper. Not everyone associated with the water element is chilled and easygoing.  Those of earth and fire energies can also carry immense pain for a long period of time.

Air + Water

We are also generally very warm and affectionate. We have moments where we close off and become rigid, but we come around. We are also often known for tenacity and very strong-willed. Much of this is a generalization. I do not intend to create stereotypes or pigeonhole anyone into certain categories. This just gives you a general understanding of these energies and to help figure yourself out.
