Connection Corner

Connections are the centre of our family. It is through connections that we learn and grow individually and together. We are all energy and we draw our energy from the month and the year of our birth, which are linked to the elements of Earth, Fire, Water and Air. We can use these elements as a way of having deep connections with our family. You will notice the birth dates of a family of four people, with their unique birth footprint.

What does this mean? This means that the family has a strong base of creativity, imagination, intuition and being observant, a clear eye for detail. The picture that the family profile represents is of a brook running through a forest. To be in a space of growth and harmony, we need all of the elements to connect, as the different elements have different effects and qualities. The element of wood separates earth, it can be like a tree uplifting the earth or the roots can break up the soil and rock. The elements of earth and wood can be supportive as the wood relies on the earth to live. However, the wood and earth elements need to learn to problem solve with the water and fire elements to live in harmony. As water and earth are nature-based elements, where fire and wood are dependent on the nature-based elements, for example fire forms earth through volcanoes.

Volcanoes cannot exist without the combination of the elements, but when they do combine, they can generate eruptive emotions. The family has an added element of emotion with the element of water. Therefore, the family needs to pay particular attention to the emotional resilience of the family, and truly understand how their emotions can have a cause and effect on any decisions the family makes or how they act or react to different life experiences. With the fire and water element, these two family members require time to have creative time together, which harmonises the two elements, otherwise water dampers fires passion. These two elements together are highly intuitive and often think they have shared their thinking with each other, but often this is not the case.

The other combination to consider is water and water; as these two elements can often go in flow in their own direction, without communicating with the other.

A check in process for the family is essential to ensure they are all on the same communicative page is essential. Each element evokes different energy. Fire has high energy, water energy needs continual movement, woods energy is often stationary and earth has centred energy. Which means there are four different energy types in the one family. Therefore, family activities need to represent the different energies of the family and each family members relaxation activity aligns with their natural energy level.
