It was obvious to our ancient ancestors that the basic elements of creation were fire, air, earth and water. These four elements were mixed together and combined in varying amounts to give birth to all the objects in the external world, large and small, and were combined also in the human body: the fire of the life force, the air of the breath, the water of blood and sweat, the earth of flesh and bones.
This booklet explains why the classical theory of the four elements is still relevant today - it can help us to understand our own personalities and behavior and that of those around us.
Includes instruction for an elemental meditation along with a questionnaire to help you identify your own elemental affiliations.
