Element earth:

 

Our personal gnomes work to maintain the physical body, the composition, assimilation of minerals etc. Without them we would not function. Through this function they evolve. This elemental helps us to become aware of our physical senses and to develop reliance on them, it also gives us endurance and persistence and it helps us to look out for ourselves giving us the quality of caution. Too little concern with our personal gnome and other earth elementals may make us spaced out, with a tendency to ignore the requirements of survival.

 

Too much connection will stimulate narrowness of vision. We will find ourselves being over practical, cynical and sceptical, overly cautious and conventional. We may become suspicious and the imagination will be limited.

 

Element water:

 

Our personal undine works to maintain our astral bodies. They assist in the unfolding of heightened psychic feelings and emotional ones. Theirs is the energy of creation, birth, intuition and creative imagination. They assist us in absorbing and assimilating life experiences. They help us to feel the fullest ecstasy of the creative acts of life, be they sexual, artistic or the performance of duty with the  right emotion. They make their presence known to us through dreams. Dreams of water and sensuality often reflect their urging to greater creativity in our life. Working with them can assist us in controlling and directing dream activity, as well as strengthening the astral body for fully conscious out of body experiences. Our personal undine helps us maintain proper functions of our body fluids.

 

Too little connection with our personal undine or others can bring on psychological, emotional and even physical problems. We may manifest difficulties with compassion and distrust our own intuition and become fanatically fearful of pain 7 we may appear cold to others. A lack of sympathy and general passions for life. Failure to connect brings sexual problems to both male and female, and can increase toxicity levels in the body for the fluids in the body will be sluggish causing organ damage in the long-run. Too much connection makes us water logged with emotions and contradictory feelings. Water retention in the body is often a physical signal of this. It can make one self-absorptive with a pronounced imagination and even extreme behaviours, it also makes you compulsively passionate, over sensitive, fearful, secretive and vulnerable.

 

Through our personal undine we get in touch with our feelings and deeper emotions, they will help us to awaken to the energies of creation, goddess and god and stimulate our nurturing abilities and open us to the emotional pool where we can find healing, compassion and intuition. Because of its fluid nature the undine is best controlled through firmness.

 

Element air:

 

Air is the source of all life energy. Your personal sylph works to alleviate pain and suffering by helping to maintain our mental body and our mental development. Thus our thoughts good or bad is what most effects them they help stimulate inspiration and creativity and also new knowledge. They assist us in using the intuitive and the rational together. On the physical level our personal sylph helps us to assimilate oxygen from the air we breathe.

 

Too much connection with the air elementals, we will find ourselves becoming asexual and sexuality will not be high on our list of priorities. Often the sexual force is used to promote healing, creativity and work. Care should be taken though not to allow such to become extreme as we need a balance of the elements, and too much air can lead to an overactive mind and burnout, or a dabbler in the occult who just reads and has no thought of doing the practical side at all. It may also show itself through a paralysis of will due to too much analysing, or make the nervous system highly activated, instilling a need for constant change, eccentricity and fanaticism along with a general lack of emotion and sensitivity, or as a detachment from physical and mundane activities of life.

 

A lack of connection brings an inability to gain perspective or it can cause a weak nervous system and there will be little or no curiosity or imagination. The sylphs bring inspiration and they most strongly affect our mental faculties. They work with us too expand our wisdom. Sylphs in general are good to work with for protection of home and property. Their energy is so strong that they make possible intruders confused, worried, or think twice about entering your environment. They also open us to the realm of archetypal ideas and assist us in co-ordinating our perceptions and verbalising them, they also stimulate mental balance, freedom and curiosity.

 

Element fire:

 

Salamanders are found everywhere. No fire is lit without their help, no heat exists without them. They are active underground and internally within the body and mind. They are responsible for all lightning, heat, fire, explosions and volcanoes.

 

Salamanders evoke powerful emotional currents in humans, they also stimulate fires of spiritual idealism and perception. Their energy assists in tearing down of the old. As fire is both destructive and creative in its expression, they can be powerfully effective in healing work in assisting to detoxify the body, especially in critical situations. They must be carefully used at such times, as their energies are dynamic and difficult to control. They are always present when healing occurs.

 

Salamanders work to maintain our spiritual bodies. They radiate energy through it so that it will pass onto the physical, they stimulate high spirituality, faith and enthusiasm. Our own personal salamander assists in circulation and in maintaining proper body temperature and works with the body's metabolism for greater health, they also stimulate the immune system.

 

A slow metabolism is often an indication of sluggish salamander activity within the body.

A high metabolism is an indication of great salamander activity within the body, which will stimulate vitality and loyalty and will inspire strong currents as well.

 

Too little connection with fire elements may reveal a lack of spiritedness, a distrust of life, lack of faith and a growing sense of pessimism. Too strong a connection may bring lack of patience, self control, sensitivity, restlessness, over activity and burnout. Of all the elements the salamanders are the most difficult to understand and attune to. They are best controlled by placidness being tranquil and accepting life in the here and now.
