Full Circle: The Power of Knowing Who You Are

My son moved away last month; it’s weird suddenly being child-free, my house is so quiet and I’m touched by sadness at strange times. Though, for the most part (except for the loneliness of being home alone all the time) I’m quite glad for the change – we were both ready for it.

He’s moved into my mother’s home about a 6 days drive from us. The intent is that he will, eventually, have his own “in-law” apartment, but while they are fixing it up he’s living in her spare room. He called me to chat last week (seems he misses me too) and told me:

“Mom, I feel like I have no ‘home’.”

What I wanted to say was, “Oh Darling, I know.” In fact, I totally expected him to begin having issues about Home throughout his life; it’s one of his nature’s Life Lessons.

There are two ways for me to determine and explore the Elements that form your nature. The first is through Face Reading and the second is with your birthday. When you come for a session I work with both parts together blending and balancing out the flavors the make up Who You Are, but even just knowing someone’s birthday is a powerful piece of information that tells me about who you are, where you’ll struggle, and about what’s going on in your life right now (what season you are in).

My son’s birthday tells me that his Life Challenges are going to revolve around issues of Home, Nurturing, Foundation, possibly issues of Partnering and maybe even me (his Mom). My sister, who shares his challenge element, has moved every year almost her whole life, and as an adult has often commented to me about not feeling like she has a home. So, needless to say, I’m not at all surprised to hear him struggling with it, but instead of saying that I offered him some tips on creating that sense of home for himself because I know how important that is for him.

Just one of the gifts that being tuned into this Five Element wisdom has allowed me to offer.

I Love This Shit

Seriously, it’s no joke when I say it’s life changing (ask my son, ask my husband, ask my clients). And I just can’t get over how this Elemental teaching is forever useful – that there’s no part of someone’s life it can’t speak to.

Here’s Why:

• Because, last week when a friend lamented about why her lower back always aches when she sleeps past 7am, I was actually able to tell her why – and what to do about it. (Cause every time of day and every part of your body relates to an element and 7am happens to be a key energetic shift point in the day.)
• Because, I got a message from someone telling me she’s been noticing a shift in her energy and she wondered if I could give her some advice about dealing with the transition. She said it suddenly felt like she was having to “cope with” changes that had already happened.

  And knowing her birthday, I could tell her that she was moving out of a year meant for celebration, for reaping the rewards of all your hard work and allowing yourself the pleasures of that and what she’s moving into is a year of turning inward and reviewing how things are going (making decisions about what’s working and what’s not) – it can often be a very difficult year for people as they process everything that’s happened so far. She’s totally right, she is moving into a phase of “coping” with everything that’s happened across this latest era of her life.

• Because, when another friend posted that she’d made the heart breaking decision to walk away from her business, I was able to give her the courage to hold on by explaining that she was just ending that very same difficult, inner reflection year and was about to move into a year of light and attention. That it wasn’t her life, or her business, that were going to “be like this” forever, but simply the energy of the year she was in.
• Because, I was chatting with someone about what their birthday told me and he said he’d spent a lot of time working out what his life purpose was with a coach, and when he shared it I was able to add the one piece he was missing – the thing that would make his focus encapsulate all of who he was. Months of work confirmed in only moments with a simple birthday.
• Because when my friend had her first Grade 1 Parent Teacher meeting, and the teacher told her that the only problem her daughter was having was timing, my friend simply nodded and said, “Yep, we expected that.” And quietly thanked me for mentioning it when we talked about her daughter’s nature.
• Because people tell me they save what I tell them and refer back to it when they need to.
• Because it’s not unusual for me to be told (on a weekly basis even) that I’m looking into the heart or soul of the person I’m talking to.

Because It Works

And if I could have one Christmas Wish granted to me it would be that I could teach it to you too.

Seriously.

I’ve spent the last month pondering what I want to focus on this year: Where do I want to go? What do I want to do? What do I want to build? One of the things this system tells me is that this next year promises to be overwhelming – and easily distracting – if I don’t have a goal to focus on or something to work towards. As the energy of the year is beginning to shift and I’m feeling the overwhelm I’ve become more and more focused on answering this question.

But really, if I’m completely honest, I’ve known where I want to go and what I want to build for months and months now; I’ve known that what I really wanted to do was impress on you how powerful this can be in your life, and then help you change the world with it – it was really just a matter of biting the bullet and putting it out there. (Have you ever noticed the more you love something, the more true it is, the harder it is to shove out into the big wide world?)

So, I’m doing it, I’m sharing my full, real passion with you. Because:

According to Robert Holden: Success is Knowing Who You Are.

And the Circle of the Five Elements is all about, not just knowing who You (your clients, your family, your friends) are, but also knowing where they are and where they can expect to be going.

Because more than anything, I want you to be Authentically Successful, to be Happy, to be Whole.

I can’t think of anything better than that. And hey, it’s just my nature to share!
