Embracing Elemental Purification
Understanding Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space
To embody our full power, we must first remember that we are not separate from the natural world. Our very being is intertwined with the elements of earth, water, fire, and air. Each of these elements plays a crucial role in our spiritual guidebook for purification.
Earth represents stability and grounding, a foundation for our growth.
Water symbolizes fluidity and cleansing, aiding in the release of emotional and energetic blockages.
Fire provides transformation and passion, igniting the drive to embrace change.
Air embodies clarity and communication, allowing us to release the mental filters that obscure our vision and mind.
Space reminds us that we are a part of a much greater whole, one that is vast and full of potential.
By consciously engaging with these elements, we can get back to our cultural roots of spiritual practice. Integrating this understanding into daily routines promotes energy healing, helping us connect more deeply with our intuitive selves and the world around us.
“Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract of all the stars and planets of the whole firmament; from the earth and the elements, and so he is their quintessence.”— Paracelsus
A Practical Guide That Requires Daily Practice
Each section of this guidebook offers two ways to purify with each element no matter where you live. They are straightforward and simple, but require a daily commitment of just a few minutes per day. The more intentional you are with your practice the farther along you will get. The same is true of any skill, sport or musical instrument.
Some elements may come easier than others depending on your relationship to that element. If you grew up swimming and loving being in water, it may be more difficult to connect with the fire element. If you spend a lot of time outdoors your air connection may come easier than someone who spends most of the time inside.
Be patient and journal as you use your guidebook, over time you’ll begin to see a new world revealed to you!
Our ancestors worked with the elements 24/7
They didn’t really have a choice, their survival depended on it. As modern humans, we’ve been able to build a world that conveniently allows us to live disconnected from nature, perpetuating a false belief that we are separate from it.
The fact is, the natural world is what empowers and powers us.
The elements are the foundational roots of who we are as humans. When you don’t know where to start, start here. Because, it’s from these roots, we forge a greater sense of connection and can in turn see how it weaves into all unique cultural and ancestral practices.
Why Elemental Purification Matters (Even in Our Modern World)
How many times have you felt completely disconnected from your body—scrolling through your phone, rushing through your day, forgetting to eat lunch? When I first started exploring elemental work, I realized I'd spent years living entirely in my head, totally cut off from the natural rhythms that actually sustain me.
If you've been feeling ungrounded, emotionally stuck, or like you're just going through the motions, reconnecting with the elements can help you find your way back to yourself.
What Elemental Purification Actually Means
The elements aren't just "out there" in nature—they're the building blocks of your physical body and energy field. When you work with earth, water, fire, air, and space intentionally, you're remembering a relationship that your ancestors knew intimately.
Earth sits at the base of your spine—the same place you feel that knot when you're anxious or ungrounded. It represents stability and your connection to the physical world.
Water flows through your emotions and intuition. When you're feeling numb or overwhelmed, water practices help you process what's been stuck.
Fire lives in your solar plexus—that place where your personal power and drive originate. It fuels transformation and helps you move through what needs to change.
Air clears the mental clutter that keeps you spinning. It governs your breath, your thoughts, and how you communicate with yourself and others.
Space reminds you that you're part of something larger, creating room for possibility and perspective.
A Daily Practice That Fits Your Real Life
Here's what I've learned: You don't need hours of ritual or perfect conditions to work with the elements. The Purifying with the Elements guidebook offers two simple practices for each element—things you can do whether you live in a downtown apartment or on acres of land.
Some elements will feel more natural to you than others. If you grew up swimming, water might come easily while fire feels foreign. If you spend most of your time indoors, connecting with air might take more patience. That's completely normal.
The practice requires just a few minutes daily, but it does require consistency. Like learning any new skill, your relationship with the elements deepens over time.
My Ancestral Journey with the Elements
My Karay-a (Visayan/Filipino) and Cumbrian (English) ancestors knew elemental connection intimately. It wasn't something separate from daily life—it was life. The earth beneath their feet, the water that sustained them, the fire that transformed, the air that carried prayers, the space that held it all.
When I began exploring my own ancestral practices after my spiritual awakening in 2019, working with the elements became my foundation. It brought me home to myself in a way nothing else had. After years of absorbing everyone's emotions and feeling disconnected from my own body, the elements gave me a way back.
This is what the elements offer:
Earth grounds you when life feels chaotic
Water washes away what no longer serves you
Fire burns through limitations and ignites transformation
Air clears mental fog and opens new perspectives
Space connects you to your infinite potential

A Real Transformation Story
I want to share a testimonial from Meg, a student who was skeptical at first but committed to the practice:
“When I first started working with the elements I was unsure if anything would happen. After all, it sounded a little far out from the way I was raised. Energy from the elements was something I hadn’t ever heard of, let alone actually trying to connect to.
I just trusted the process Sheena had laid out in her Purifying With the Elements Guidebook. The first couple of times I experienced nothing, but I was open to the idea and kept trying. It wasn’t long before I began to feel a tingling in my fingers and forearms. This is exciting and unexpected, I thought.
The next time I felt the tingling travel up my arms to my shoulders. Each time I sat down to connect with the earth element, I sensed the energy moving further through my body toward my toes. As I continued to work on cultivating my relationship with the earth, a gradual wave of gentle prickling spread through my entire body eventually reaching my feet.
Now each time I connect with the earth element, I can quickly feel the energy spreading through my whole being! I always feel more grounded, peaceful yet energized after merging with the elements.
P.S. - The same process is happening now with water.”
