The ancient people and their ways have slowly drifted off into the unknown. Their wisdom runs through our veins, their bones are our bones, we carry on with their knowledge in a world that no longer welcomes or understands it.

The human body is an amazing vessel not unlike the universe, the Earth or a piece of fruit. The elements, earth, air, fire and water balance existence itself. Like everything and everyone, we are composed of the elements. Constitutions and archetypes are what make us different from our brothers and sisters. We all have ancestral and archetypical imprints, and that is what makes you a beautiful and unique individual.

That being said you can understand why the ancients had such an understanding of their bodies and the Earth. They were connected with their primal instinct and intuition, just knowing. You may think this is ignorance but no it’s really about true connection with the divine.

Constitutions are theories on human patterning and the body’s cycles. We all contain all the elements but one or two may be more dominant than others. We strive to balance the elements within ourselves for health and happiness. With a healing diet, herbal remedies, daily practices and physical, mental and emotional growth.
