Are you familiar with the four elements?
You know, Fire, Earth, Air, and Water?
This is the third blog of a four-part blog series on the four elements and their transformational power and importance to the Accidental Pren-her.™ If you would like to get caught up by reading about the first element, fire, click here. And the second element, water, click here.
Third up--Air!
The alchemical process associated with air is separation. It is the third step in the transformational process, and often the one that is the most severe.
Air is the archetypal element of the wind, and, like the wind, has always been associated with spiritual forces. Air is the life force itself, the primordial chi in Taoist philosophy. Psychologically, separation represents the discernment of what is important and of value in your life from what is not. According to alchemist Dennis William Hauck, “if we do not reject old habits and beliefs when confronted with the possibility of a better way of being, we end up imprisoned by a tyrannical ego complex that will perpetuate any illusion just to keep control.”
Separation It is the third step that we all take along the path from Accidental Pren-her™ to entrepreneurial woman and forms the inner truth of our inner Samurai. With the first step, fire, forming the foundation of the inner Samurai, and the second step, water, forming the inner wisdom of our inner Samurai, this third step, air, brings us closer to the transformational completion of the philosopher’s stone of the Accidental Pren-her.™
Often preceded by an activating or life-changing event, separation is the natural process that happens as part of the inner discovery of what is true and right for us in our lives. Effecting our finances, relationships, health, family, work, career, and living situations, the air of separation helps us to find our inner truth, so we can go beyond what was, in order to become what is.
Have you had a life-changing event that rocked your world?
What was the inner discernment process like for you?
If you’ve had a life-changing event, or are currently having one--this is the place to talk about it.
