Dear beautiful heart

The four element energies – air, water, fire and earth – make up who we are.  We have each of them in varying proportions.  This is our soul signature, that which makes us unique.  

These four elements and how they express in your self also relate to the different degrees of awareness. The first two elements – your primary and secondary energies – form your conscious reality. We and others are aware of them and are comfortable with these energies. They are known to us, the tip of the iceberg that all can see.

Your third element is your subconscious, just below your conscious reality, the part of the iceberg just under the waterline. This is your fear and learning zone, the place where you begin to sit with the discomfort of your uncomfortable feelings, body symptoms and dreams. This is the zone of your trigger points and edges.

Your fourth element represents the deepest level – your unconscious – the area of the iceberg deeply underwater. Here lives all the stuff you don’t like about yourself and all that you refuse to acknowledge. This is the area where growth occurs as you make the unknown known.

Let me take you on a journey to the deepest level of your being. See yourself, aligned and congruent with your primary and secondary energies, at the start of a path. In the distance you can just make out a doorway with the door closed. You don’t know what is behind the closed door. The path in front of you curves and bends giving you glimpses of that elusive door.  

This path is your blind spot, the subconscious level of awareness.  On the path are all your uncomfortable feelings, the things you don’t want to know about yourself, your trigger points and your edges. As you walk this path and rest on the various benches along it,  you learn to sit with discomfort, to allow the discomfort to show you what needs to be unfolded and what information you need to keep going on the path. This path is the place of ah ah moments – those liminal spaces where things click into place – and where you cannot unseen what you have seen. I call these ah ah moments tipping points and they tip you right through the doorway to your unconscious and unknown parts of your self where your fourth energy element lies. This is the sacred space where you can retrieve all those lost parts of yourself. There is a separate doorway for each tipping point. When you have integrated that knowledge into your conscious awareness, that doorway disappears and another one takes its place on the path.  

You grow your soul by moving continuously between these two levels, being willing to learn and sitting in discomfort in your third energy element, creating tipping points (doorways), moving forward and retrieving the unknown part and bringing it back into your awareness.  

There is a rhythm to this soul integration. It takes courage and trust to go over the edge – the tipping point. You do not know what lies through the doorway.  This is where the excitement and adventure lie, exploring the unknown and making it known.  

Much love

Your soul
