THE WORK · Transformation through Maturation

The Four Elements

Here you will learn more about your body as a house with four main floors. This is a playful way to image the elements as creatures living in each floor.  Our work is to come home to the body and become a loving parent to these energetic forces.

THE ELEMENTAL CREATURES

The Elevator in The House

Move up and down between floors.  The Cow roots us in the legs, the Mermaid swims in the belly, the Lion roars from the chest and throat, and the Eagle sees from the head. 

THE BODY IS THE HOUSE AND THE ELEVATOR IS THE ASCENT.
