Balancing the elements

One way I use to start my day is a ritual to achieve balance and I do this by creating my own circle - a sacred space - and then I invoke the spirits of the elements. The circle or wheel is the container which holds all the elements; the east is air, changing and growing as I learn and develop; south is fire for my achievements and goals and also letting go of what no longer fits with my life's purpose; west is water, my relationships with people and responding to their needs; and then the north, the earth, my physical body and grounding.

The centre of the circle is ether, spirit where it all comes together. Just by this simple ritual I start my day with a feeling of well being and balance.
