Adventure through the Elements

The Elements are a core part of our everyday world. 
Earth.  Water.  Fire.  Air. 
Elements are the building blocks of all creation.
Relating with the EcoSystem of the Moment 
through its Elemental Components
opens amazing portals for self-reflection
and expanded appreciation for life.

This blog highlights aspects of the Elements
to inspire your own Wild Soul Wanderings.
May this information deepen your explorations
of the world both around & within you.
Featured here as well is my photography & SoulCollage.
Each element vibrates at a different frequency,
and has its own unique expression of Life Force.

As we apprentice to Elemental Teachings from nature
we are able to work with elemental qualities within us
our own being as well,
on Physical, Mental & Spiritual levels;
As Above. So Below.
Let's journey through the Elements  
and explore some of their fundamental properties.

Earth is the foundation upon which you live.
Earth is dense & solid. 
It has shape & form; edges & boundaries. 
It is the manifest realm of being.
The flesh & bones of embodiment. 
Earth grounds Essence into Form.

Water is a true Shape Shifter. 
It expands & contracts; Liquid, Solid, Gas.
Ocean. Rain. Tears. Sweat. Blood. 
It Dissolves. It Melts. 
It Cleanses. It Destroys. 
Water is the elixir that sustains life on this planet.

Fire does not follow the pathway of least resistance.
It rises up against forces of gravity. 
It lights & burns its own path. 
Fire transforms matter 
into Heat, Light & Energy. 
Fire is the true element of Alchemy.

Breath is life force energy.
Your first inhalation & last exhalation 
are experiences that bracket your life.  
Inhalations bring oxygen into your body,
Exhalations release carbon dioxide to the planet. 
Together, oxygen breathing animals & plants
create the Respiratory System of the planet. 
We breathe life into being. 
Explore Your World
Notice traits of the elements around you
and also how these traits are present in you.

- How is Earth present in your physical body? 
- How is water moving your emotional being?
- How is fire burning in your living? 
- How is air influencing your life force?

of the elements, celebrating their beauty
in the outside world, and honoring
their influence of inner world too.

The Colorful Chakra System

One of the core maps I use to navigate 
the various terrains of life 
is the Chakra System. 


The structure of Chakra philosophy
 has provided & aided me into & through 
many deep healings in my life. 

The map of the Chakras 
has helped me engage & honor my body, 
heal addiction & heart aches, 
find more love in my relationships, 
and connect more fully with God Divine.

The "system" of this model 
appeals to my imagination
and encourages expansive creativity
in how I live & create my life. 

This blog highlights some of the ways 
Chakras inform my life,
along with some of my SoulCollage.

The Genius & Genesis of the Chakra System 
originated through yogic traditions
and ancient Sanskrit teachings
many centuries ago. 
  
Over the years, 
as Yoga came to the West, 
Chakra teachings merged
with other life philosophies,
and a new system of medicine & inspiration
found language in our culture.

Chakras have become common reference points 
for many people on their spiritual paths today.
Myself Included. 
...and I am excited to share with you. 


All Things Are Energy 
A fundamental concept of the Chakra System 
is that all things are made of energy. 
A key aspect of energy is that it moves 
in different waves & patterns. 
This expression can be easily be seen
in the colors of a Rainbow.

Each color in a rainbow 
vibrates at a different frequency. 
Red is the slowest vibrating color 
whereas Blue vibrates at a higher frequency. 


Each color frequency has its own resonance; 
its own character of vibration & energy.  
These varying color waves correspond 
to different Chakra portals
into your Central Nervous System,
thereby, influencing your being in many ways.

Charkas are so much more then colors,
however, working with Color Therapy
is a great way to play with the chakras
and explore the effect light has on your being. 


Color Adventure
What a gift we have with sight. 
And what a blessing color offers our journey 
through this beautiful world. 

Light expresses itself as color.
So bring increased awareness to color in your life.
Notice the magic each color offers
and have fun seeing the world
 in a more colorful way.

Here are some recommendations
to support your journey with color.

 - Notice color in your life.
- What feelings do certain colors evoke in you? 

- Pick a color a day to explore. Wear that color. 
- Notice that color in your surroundings.

- What colors are abundant in your world? 
- What colors are missing from your world?  
  
- Get a box of crayons, pens, pencil or paint.  
- Draw - Paint 
Have fun with color.
- Use "odd" colors in your drawings.
(like..purple trees, or rainbow people) 
- Have fun. Let Creativity Flow.
- Let your Inner Child Play. 

Explore the Colors of your World

Lessons from a Lake

Poem & Image by Raven Shree 
The lake laps at my feet 
slapping against the earth
Wind caresses ripples.  
Sun sparkles play. 
Shree Morris Code to my soul.

Birds chirp; 
singing the songs
of their species.
Bees buzz; pollinating
through the service 
of their living 
bring abundance and life 
to the world. 

Hummingbirds flitter;
small magic beings 
moving through air and sky.
I watch one rest 
on a branch
of a Blue Spruce Fir. 
I want to watch him fly, 
however, his rest reminds me 
to be grateful for 
Rest and Relaxation. 

Flowers bloom; all shapes and color 
opening, spreading to life. 
Colorful aromas attract visitors; 
synergistic relationships 
that feed the vitality of life on our planet.

And here in the center of all this 
I sit. 
An Animal in the Wild. 
A Spirit in Flesh. 
A Wise Woman. 
An Innocent Child. 

Perched in the center 
of my universe 
I bow with gratitude, 
to the passions inside 
that continually guide me 
to places
and experiences like this.

I drink in beauty 
breathing in the experience 
of freedom. 
Anchoring the potentiality 
and actuality of now 
into my flesh, 
into my heart, 
so that I may bring this magic
back with me 
and out into the world. 

~ Raven Shree
