The doctrine of the four elements
The energy frequency
Studies by David R. Hawkins, Power Vs. Force, a well-known American psychologist, show that the energy frequency of the human body changes with the ups and downs of spiritual and emotional conditions.
For example, the more you feel joy and happiness, the higher your energy and abundance will be; when you are frustrated and worried, the lower your energy will be, and when energy is lower, the more likely it is to affect the health of the body.
The higher your energy, the better you are able to neutralize and transform lower energies that weaken you. Life evolves best when you live at a higher vibrational frequency.
Trust!
You can decide what frequency you want to live in. You have the power to influence your own personal vibration. We can all learn to raise our vibrational frequency!

The meaning of the elements
The doctrine of the elements has existed since ancient times in both the East and the West.
In the Western tradition it is said that the entire world consists of the four basic elements: air, fire, earth and water. Everything that exists has its own energy and vibration.
Our human body is also composed of these elements.
When the laws of nature are out of balance, this leads to an imbalance of the four elements "wind, fire, earth and water" in the body, which affects the stability of body, mind and soul and can also cause physical and mental illnesses.
Only when the four elements are in balance can we be completely healthy and happy.

How can you determine your own element?
Each of us has a dominant element. There are various methods that can be used to find out your own element.
One way is to determine the element according to the season. So if you were born in spring, the air element dominates, in summer the fire element, in autumn the earth element and in winter the water element.
You can also use your birth time to find out which element you have. With this method, you use astrology and use your birth time to determine your ascendant, i.e. the star sign that rose in the east at the moment of your birth.
If you have an ascendant in an air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), then the air element dominates, if you have an ascendant in a fire sign (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), then the fire element dominates, if you have an ascendant in an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), then the earth element dominates, and if you have an ascendant in a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), then the water element dominates.
The elements also affect your character, personality and body condition.
Also, you can look at your emotions. Your emotions can be affected by other people, the environment and weather, etc. This can change your element balance.
For example, if you are angry, then the fire element increases, if you are sad, then the water element increases, if they are in too much motion, then the air element increases (being through the wind), if they are too serious, then the earth element increases.
So if you know which element is dominant in you, you can quickly find your balance again.
