Life Forces

This might at first sound cliche', but we are all familiar with the four elements of life. Our element does not depend on what our zodiac sign is. Another thing is that we are not each only connected to one element. We are actually two. However, they are not opposites like fire and water and earth and air. We are each of fire and earth, earth and water, air and water, and air and fire. Mine is earth and fire. Those are the two energies I am connected deeply to in nature. I have made it thoroughly clear of my deep connection and sensitivity to the earth. I am just as sensitive to fire as I am to earth. Yesterday morning I woke up and smelled smoke from a fire burning in someone's fireplace and it was so energizing.

I even felt the heat from a neighbor's heat lamp on their deck as I was walking down the street. Whenever I'm cold, all I need is a single flame of a burning candle. I hold my hand over it long enough and I'm immediately warmed and energize. Perhaps that is what I need the next time I'm fatigued. Earth and fire combined is what composes of the most powerful tectonic forces. You get volcanoes and molten rock as well as geothermal activity(not to mention diamonds and other precious stones created by immense heat and pressure from deep in the crust). Earthquakes are even made of intense heat with their friction. 
Earth and water gives you plant life, salt, caves, mud, crystals, and life forms. Air and water are the forces that make up our atmosphere and weather phenomena. It is what clouds are made of. With air and fire, you have lightning, electrical storms, fire-nadoes, hot air, plasma, etc. I don't think I know anyone who ever thinks about these things. How would they know what their energies are? I believe that it is important to know for it helps us all plug in more to nature. It took me a while to figure this out. A decade ago, I used to believe that someone was to be associated with just one element. It took me about 7 years to realize that we are really two energies even.
My next post will discuss how we figure out which energies we are and how to connect to them deeply.
