4 Element Yoga Cards are another of the innovative tools Growing Holistically offers its members. Along with these cards, instructions are given on how to use them – and of course videos are easily assessable.
The four element cards will guide you – they will synchronize to you and reveal what you need to experience – through the four element energetics you will learn about.
The goal of our 4 Element Yoga Cards is threefold:
- To make it easy for you to become more in touch with your body in positive ways – to be more “somatic” and bodily aware
- To give you a powerful new tool to self-heal as you draw upon life-positive natural forces
- To help you become more spiritually vibrant and grow as you feel highest level ideals-forces- energies moving through you
We can add another important goal for some of you:
To help you become certified in 4 Element Yoga. We believe as more and more people draw upon this foursome only good things will happen. You may find that by using your body to feel that spiritual foursome is something you want to help others to do. That’s where certification comes in!
In your progress to certification you will use these cards to move beyond the more basic 4 Element Yoga maneuvers to more complex ones. The program involves our staff guiding you through your consistent use of these powerfully unique cards.
You will utilize our special 4 Element Yoga google sheet to chart the cards that you pick.
That will greatly assist you in your use of these cards as it will help in documenting for yourself and for us, what you have been doing. And potentially, what insights, ruminating thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations you may have experienced while doing them. Learn more about certification here
Card Directions:
Always keep in mind that these cards will synchronize to you and reveal what you need to experience through their four element energetics they will turn on in you.
The first card is the most important card. It tells you which principle and its elemental energy you will be engaging and drawing upon. The way you engage each of the four is to move in the direction that resonates with that elemental principle and force.
The second card picked tells you whether you are contacting the body – and where within the “circumference” of a body region that movement will be centered.
In other words, the first card tells you the elemental energy you will be channeling into a body region (through that level of your body moving into its direction). The second card tells you where on your body’s circumference (either on the body or off the body) that your hands are positioned.
First Card:
Earth: you will be moving a body region towards its backside
Water: you will be moving a vertical level of the body horizontally right and left (in the x-axis)
Air: your maneuver will have a part of the body moving in the y-axis – upward.
Fire: your movement will involve a forward motion (positive z-axis)
Second Card:
Earth: your two hands will be in contact with the body at the 5:00 – 7:00 positions (at the backside) of a selected body region.
Water: you will have your hands in contact with a body region’s circumference at its 11:00 and 1:00 positions.
Air: your hands typically will be off the body*, spatially separated from each other at Air’s 3:00 and 9:00 positions.*If the first card is Water, your hands will be on body
Fire: your two hands are together, and can be either on or off the body, alternately at its 10:00 and 2:00 positions.
