I’ve been listening to the audiobook Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself where Dr. Joe Dispenza breaks down the quantum field and how we can align our thoughts and feelings with our desires to create the life we choose. It’s an incredible book I highly recommend.
In it, Dr Dispenza talks about how atoms are primarily made up of energy- not matter. Which he then goes on to explain means that everything in this world is made up of more energy than it is solid material. Whaaaaat?!
Air is made up of 78.08% nitrogen & 20.95% oxygen. If each of those elements is comprised of molecules, which are comprised of atoms, then that means at its core, air is… energy. Which says to me that every time we inhale, we’re literally inhaling energy.
Not only does air fill our lungs and travel to every muscle and organ in our body, but it literally gives us life force. Like a divine gas tank dispensing invisible fuel that will sustain us along our journey.
I mean, that’s pretty freaking cool.
As an archetype, Air is the symbol of Inspiration, renewal, and clarity. This fits well with the idea of getting a boost of gas with every inhale! We can see this coming to life in the saying “You’re a breath of fresh air” implying that a person embodying this element is light, fresh, bringing something new, illuminating, invigorating, etc.
East, which is the larger umbrella in which Air gathers, so perfectly represents the young maiden full of new and fresh possibilities. I like to envision a young woman full of curiosity wandering a field of wildflowers, her hands out to her sides letting them graze the tops of the petals as she walks by.
East is the wind that carries seeds of new beginnings, literally. And the atmosphere! An invariable feast of energy swirling around us at all times!
The East is also characterized by the mental dimension- the thinking realm, where ideas take flight and dreams are born. Here we see the marriage between East (our thoughts) and Air (energy) and how it aligns so beautifully with Dr. Dispenza's wisdom about how our thoughts and our energy create our reality. A new start. A fresh beginning.
We can imagine the Maiden, Diana, Artemis—the Lady of Communion. East is her realm. It's the space of birth, menarche, and the first blood. It’s the dawn of our existence.
In our personal lives, East asks us to awaken our minds and open our hearts to the fresh possibilities that a new day brings.
To help you connect more deeply with this archetype, here are a few reflective questions.
East is an archetype we can connect to with every breath. A few times a day, take a moment to breathe in deeply and bring awareness to this life-giving resource that is here to energize, inspire, and awaken you to new possibilities.
With deep love and grounded blessings,
We have arrived at our last stop on this adventure: West. which is fitting since it’s the direction where the sun sets to bring the day to a close.
In human life, West represents the emotional dimension, the realm of feelings and intuition.
For many, emotions are a tricky subject. We may have been taught as a young kid that our emotions are “too much” or if we express them “bad things happen”. Especially as women, we’ve been taught to suppress our emotions, opting instead to be agreeable and “good”.
West is here to remind us that there is great power in our emotions. And that in fact, they have the ability, like water, to wash away the rough edges and teach us how to be fluid and trusting.
West is the fluid container of feminine consciousness and has the power to cleanse, dissolve, and remind us of the potential held in surrender.
Anger
Joy
Envy
Grief
Anxiety
It’s all welcome here.
To embrace the West, we must honor the emotional dimension of our lives through the eyes of the Wise Woman: to harvest the wisdom of our experiences, and to honor the cycles of completion and new beginnings.
When we embrace our emotions we come to see that they are wise and powerful messengers. And a connection to the intuitive wisdom that flows within us.
To deepen your relationship with this powerful archetype, here are 5 reflective questions that will help you become more attuned to the wisdom of West: the Wise Woman, and the sacred power of our emotions.
Use these questions to explore your relationship with the West and the element of Water, and to discover what wise messages are coming to you through your emotions.of Water, allowing its nurturing and cleansing energy to guide you to deeper self-awareness and emotional well-being.

Welcome, welcome! Are you ready to get a little hot under the collar? 😉
South is represented by the element of Fire! This is the direction of passion, action, and the raw, instinctive power of the Goddess!
This direction is one of my favorites as it’s packed with the ability to awaken your inner flame, to embrace the fullness of your being, and ignite the desires that lie within! Mmmmm…. So good!
For centuries women have been taught to stuff their desires. To not want too much, express too much, and dare I say, be too sensual. But South reminds us that these things are inherent to our being and that we must embrace them to find wholeness.
The Essence of South is the sacred space of Fire, the element that embodies the transformative power of flames, lightning, and electricity. It’s the noonday sun at the height of its power, the Summer Solstice in full bloom, the fecundity and fertility that drives creation. Does anyone else love the word, fecund like I do?!
Think of the Empress, flowers in full bloom, and the abundant beauty of Mother Earth. South is where we experience passion, sensuality, and the erotic aliveness of life. Sigh.
In human life, South represents the behavioral dimension, the realm of action and doing. It's about taking bold steps, embracing our desires, and living fully in the present moment. South is the fire within us, the energy that propels us forward, the spark that ignites our dreams and passions. I told you, she’s a powerhouse!
Fire is the element of action, the raw Shakti power of creation. It's the energy of purification and illumination, of penetration and inspiration. Fire is the power of your passion, the flash, and fervor of release, the smoldering spark of the divine triple flame within you that ignites love, power, and wisdom.
To embrace the South, we must honor the behavioral dimension of our lives. This is where we take action and pursue our desires and passions. It's about living in full expression, celebrating our sensuality, and embracing the erotic aliveness that flows through us.
How can we honor the South in our daily lives? By allowing ourselves to feel deeply, to express our passions, and to take bold actions. It's about recognizing the beauty and abundance around us, and within us. South teaches us to live with intensity, to embrace the fullness of our desires, and to act on the inspirations that ignite our souls.
South calls us to awaken our senses, to embrace our sensuality and the erotic aliveness that makes life vibrant. I don’t know about you but it's getting a little hot over here!
To help you integrate the energy of South into your life, here are 5 reflective questions that will help you deepen your relationship with her.
Here’s to allowing the flames of Fire to inspire you, purify you, and guide you toward your highest potential!
With deep love and grounded blessings,
We've all heard about the four directions—North, South, East, and West. Remember the playful little phrase, "Never Eat Shredded Wheat," from childhood? They've been a staple in our vocabularies forever, but the reality is, they hold deeper meaning as guides and portals for healing in my life. I guess you could say, they’re more of a Spiritual GPS.
From that angle, the four directions are like sacred signposts, each buzzing with unique energy and wisdom, opening a path to healing and transformation.
Together, these directions create a holistic framework, guiding us in alignment with the sacred rhythms of the universe. Over the next few days, we'll journey deeper into each archetype to see how they can be your partners along this journey.
