ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.
The four elements have been a part of human understanding for centuries.
And we use every single one of them every day of our lives.
Just this morning, I’ve stood on earth, breathed in air, benefitted from the warmth of fire, and hydrated with water.
The Ancient Greeks believed all things came from one of the four elements, and that they were eternal and unchanging. The Sumerians, the Maya, the Babylonians, and many other cultures and religions believed the same.
You are made up of these elements, and they surround you.
But what happens if they’re out of balance?
When they get out of balance in the world at large, we see Mass Extinction Events, sudden and dramatic events that caused the death of many different species at one point in time. Looking through the history of these, they are all related to one of the elements getting out of sync with the others.
Destructive fires.
Deluges and floods (mentioned some 500 times in historical texts!).
Earthquakes.
Asteroid collisions.
It's not a secret that ancient civilizations worshipped the elements and gods that represented them. After all, if these elements were what could kill you, why would you not?!
People also realised that we are made up of these four elements, and the more we incorporate all four into our own lives, the better we will feel.
We’ve now got out of touch with the elements, and that’s why my podcast today is all about their history. I’ll be sharing the plan for this series of episodes, where we’ll deep dive into each element in a dedicated episode.
If you ever feel out of balance, you don’t want to miss out on listening!
