Connecting with the Deeper Energies of Nature
Connecting with the deeper energies of nature
Why do some people have what we often refer to as a 'fiery' personality? Why are some people more dominated by emotions than others? Why do some people prefer to stay in one place, while others move to a new home every 2-4 years without thinking twice?

A person with a dominance of the element of Fire, for example, may have what we refer to as a 'fiery,' driven personality. A person with a dominance of the element of Water may be more intuitive and empathic. Similarly, people with a dominance of the Earth element are happy to stay rooted in the same place year after year.
We are all born with different propensities that determine how we interact with the world around us. The more we are familiar with these, the more we can work with our innate tendencies, rather than trying to fit ourselves into patterns and expectations that are not natural to us.
Most people are familiar with enneagrams, which offer one approach to better understand our personality type and our inherent tendencies. But did you know that the ancient sciences of Yoga, Vedic astrology, and Ayurveda also offer unique insights into the deeper ‘energies’ or forces of nature that shape who we are and how we interact with the world around us? Both Vedic astrology and Ayurveda place great emphasis on the “Tattwas” or the Elements (Fire, Air, Earth, Water, and Space). They chart in detail how these affect our approach to living and our natural personality propensities.
A person with a great degree of the Earth element in their chart, for example, will tend to be very attached to where they live and move only rarely. People with a lot of Water influence tend to be very sensitive and often excel in making connections with others, specifically subconscious, spiritual and emotional connections.
When energy and alchemy unite with the intention of our true heart's desire we create every day miracles. Some are but small occurrences that gently guide us through the stream of life, and there are some miracles that cause huge changes and challenges in our lives.
