Your 5 Element Ally is the...

Ready to flow!

Water element is a powerful friend when we are ready to rest and receive.
Embrace Water element magic:

Water element is a nourishing ally when...

You desire softness, stillness, & an inward focus

You want to tap into your purpose & potency

You wish to connect to your intuition & emotions
Water reminds us to trust, allowing ourselves to receive.
Be still.
Like floating in a pool of clear blue, let water keep you without effort.
Beginning a relationship with Water element

Relax in a bath:
Allow yourself stillness, to slide beneath the surface. Rest in the warm water and let it hold you without effort. Even 10 minutes in the bath can hold space for the emotions of the day.

Observe water:
Find a body of water close by: a reservoir, river, lake, pool, or fountain. Notice how water does not exert or spend itself, and yet it is the one element all life depends upon.

Bring Water element home:
Pull out your favorite vase (bonus water element if it's glass) and fill it with fresh water and blooms, or display plants that have downward trailing habits.
"
For whatever we lose
(like a you or a me),
It's always our self
we find in the sea."
E.E. Cummings
Embrace your 5 Element Ally with the Sanctuary Shift™
Water sits between Metal and Wood in the constructive cycle of the elements (that means that Metal "supports" Water, and then Water "nurtures" Wood).
In nature, everything is deeply interconnected and unified. The elements themselves shift through cycles and seasons. Working with them as mentors can help us move through transformation and change with more compassion and clarity.
What does all this change mean for you?
The best element to partner with will shift as you shift, and as your needs change.
That's the beauty of a cyclical system.
The Sanctuary Shift™ framework is designed to help you feel present and supported as you move through the rhythms of life.
