Longtime student of and teacher with Toltec nagual don Miguel Ruiz, Heather Ash weaves together a synthesis of the most powerful tools from many spiritual traditions, including European shamanism, Toltec wisdom, and Buddhism to support us in achieving our highest potential. The transition between living within familiar boundaries and living large often depends on a conscious use of the four elements: Air?Mental body and perception Fire?Spiritual body and cleansing Water?Emotional body and openness Earth?Physical body and nourishment The elements and their gifts can create a foundation that supports your energy as you move from an unconscious room into a conscious temple. And once this new understanding of the elements is in place you begin to see life with new eyes. The same emotions, fears and potential disasters are often present, but instead of living them, you begin to witness with love. Instead of using the mind, energy, emotions and body against each other, you find all manifestations of fear and doubt to be precious resources of potential energy that are simply trapped and waiting to be freed. You are a vast, magical being just waiting to dance into the unknown, move beyond the structure of fear and expand your heart to hold more love and energy. So, whether you are changing careers, starting a new relationship, or taking a new step on an inner journey, The Four Elements of Change will help you create a stable structure to support the changes in your life today.

From Limitation to Possibility The transition between living in your familiar prison and living large depends on a conscious use of the four elements. The elements and their gifts can be used as a foundation or a support to pull your energy out of an unconscious room into a conscious temple. Once this new structure is in place, you will begin to see your old structure with new eyes. The same emotions, fears, and ?disaster mind? will be present, but instead of living with them, you will begin to witness with love. Instead of using your mind, energy, emotions and body against yourself, you will see all manifestations of fear and doubt as precious resources, as nuggets of potential energy that are simply trapped and waiting to be freed. You are a vast, magical being. But your attention can be hooked by fears of the mind. The way out of fear is to realize once and for all that you are a pure, unhindered energy. You are a child of the universe, let loose in a magnificent playground to create whatever you dream possible. You can start building your larger dream, step by step, using The Four Elements of Change.

Customer Reviews

Wow, this book really works!
This book is a very practical guide to staying centered while a lot of change is happening in your life. It was informative, humorous, and an easy read. I've been doing some of the excercises from this book and they have really helped me get a clearer picture of what is going on in my life, and have helped me get a broader perspective on the changes happening with me and with other people in my life.

Buy it its great!

Perfect reading, Perfect applications.
As I am on the road a lot working and managing life and health in all its forms I've found that this book is helping me to simplify my practices, I can leave my physical practical tools at home. Her words are simple, direct and beautiful intertwined with her own experience of the elements and how they are relative to the body, mind, spirit and emotions. This information has really helped me to take stock, clear up and accept things about life that were a definitive waste of energy.

Thank you for this book!!!
This book is lovely, the perfect "medicine" for our hectic lives in this constantly-changing world. It has a lot of information packed in, yet is presented in a clear, straightforward manner. As I read the book, many things about my life and the way I react to change fell into place for me, and this book gave me not only new insights about myself, but also practical, positive ideas for better ways I can deal with change in my own life.
