Which are Elemental Personality are you? Four Elements Type

"Of living things, my son, some are made friends with fire, and some with water, some with air, and some with earth, and some with two or three of these, and some with all... Each soul, accordingly, while it is in its body is weighted and constricted by these four." - Tablets of Thoth

If you've ever studied medicine through the ages then one of the first people who you will come across is Hippocrates. He is widely regarded as the first 'doctor' and the father of western medicine. He published a number of books in the first century bce including the now famous 'Hippocratic oath' which modern day doctors still have to take to this day.

According to Galen, these elements were used by Hippocrates in describing the human body with an association with the four humors. A theory that imbalances in elements inside the body were responsible for sickness and ill health. The Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle defined the four elements to two of the four special qualities:

Fire is primarily hot and secondarily dry.

Air is primarily wet and secondarily hot.

Water is primarily cold and secondarily wet.

Earth is primarily dry and secondarily cold.

Hippocrates theorized that we are all made up of a mixture of the four basic elements. All of: me, you, your granny, the dog, everyone! There can be imbalances though and this will affect you, your body and your personality.  Which one of the four elements are you? These Elemental personality types are also linked to the Western Zodiac and are associated with the individual horoscope star signs:

Fire - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Air - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

How to Meet your Spirit Guide and Spirit Animal Meditation Hypnosis

How to meet your spirit guide with Hypnosis

Many people have asked me "what is a spirit guide?" and "how do i discover my spirit guide?" which are both excellent questions if you too are learning to harness and develop your own inner psychic powers. A spirit guide acts as a medium between you and 'the other side' in much the same way as a Ouija board, pendulum or dowsing rods can be used to relay information from spirits. Rather than using a physical tool a Psychic or medium who is in contact with a spirit guide can receive clairvoyant messages at any time.

Many mediums and psychics describe their spirit guide as an entity or spirit which acts as a guide or protector over their soul. A spirit guide can take many forms and is unique to each individual. Your spirit guide could be an old family member who has passed away, a significant figure from history such as Abraham Lincoln or Pythagoras, theres nothing that says your spirit guide even has to be human! The notion of spirit guides are not something new its a phenomena that has been recorded across many cultures and times. The Native Americans, Chinese and Egyptians all have examples of spirit beings and mystical guides in their folk lore. 

The Native Americans for example would embark on a spiritual journey known as a 'Vision Quest' where a teenager or someone approaching 'manhood' would enter the woods and be deprived of food and water in an attempt to achieve an altered state of consciousness in order to encounter and interact with the spirit world. In the case of Native Americans this spirit guide or totem would usually come in the form of an animal, known as a Power Animal. Each power animal guide has a different skill and representing different supernatural abilities which would then be transferred to you, so you could be strong and powerful like a bear or cunning like a fox.  

Often a medicine man or shaman would use hallucinogenic drugs such as mescal, peyote cactus, thorn apple, psilocybin mushroom, green tobacco, jimsonweed and devil's weed to achieve these spirit visions. This again is a common experience in the ancient world, of 'tripping balls' and 'becoming a man'. I have a way that you can meet you spirit guide, a way for you to discover your spirit guide in a way which isn't harmful to your brain, you can meet your spirit guardian without having to take illegal drugs or starving yourself in a field somewhere. We know through our studies that achieving these kinds of altered states can be achieved through a number of methods. Clairvoyant visions can occur in meditation, prayer, lucid dreaming and even hypnosis. 

Please try the guided meditation / hypnosis session at the top of the page and you too can discover your spirit guide. I would love to hear about your experience? Did it work for you? What form did your spirit guide take? Please head over to the forum and join in the discussion:

Psychic Nature vs Nurture: Could there be a Psychic Gene? ESP IN DNA?

Does Psychic ability spread genetically?

One subject that interests me so is the debate around the question is psychic ability passed on genetically or is it a skill which can be learned. Is Extrasensory ability a result of nature or nurture? The wider question here of nature vs nurture is one that has divided the scientific community over the years, not only in Parapsychology but in all areas of psychology. 

There are many people out there for whom psychic power is a gift, something they have an innate ability with. These people can naturally intuitive, have vivid dream experiences and could have empathic abilities. Some people in this category may be using precognitive abilities without even noticing because it is something so natural for them. Deja Vu. When a person is born with these types of skills we call them 'Indigo Children'.

The ability to perceive information better would be a strong survival tool. We've all had sixth sense experiences, like where we have thought "move" and as a result missed a potentially dangerous moment, maybe moving out the way of a falling object or crazy driver on the road. You can see how those without this precognitive ability would be more likely to die right? and how the DNA containing these Extrasensory abilities would allow that chromosome to be passed on into future generations.

This could demonstrate that Psychic ability is often passed down genetically through the mother and father. In almost 80% of the psychics, clairvoyants and mediums I deal with say that there have been psychics in their families before them, and that their abilities were supported by their parents during their teenage years.

For me though that raises an interesting question: could it not be the environment that creates psychics? I mean if your parents and grandparents have psychic abilities then you will grow up in that environment, that you will see crystal balls or tarot cards around the place and that your daily experiences while growing up could be the cause of this psychic phenomena.

And then there is me. I used the Psychic Investigations model to develop my psychic abilities. There is no psychic link in my family and yet after studying the methods of the great psychics, your Nina Kulagina, Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce and the like I have been able to replicate their Extrasensory abilities using the same methods: Telepathy, Telekinesis, Clairvoyance and much more!! 

So surely this demonstrates that Psychic power can be also learned, right? ... that you can work hard, train, and you too can develop your psychic power. That we have to take lessons and slowly learn step by step how to do these things. 

There are Psychic training exercises that you can do, my youtube channel has many examples of the kind of things you can do if you want to learn to control your psychic power. I believe that we all have the potential to unlock these kinds of psychical powers and that while being born into a family unit with a strong psychic history may give you an environmental advantage anyone can learn to develop their psychic power. 

Not all of us were lucky enough to be born into this 'culture'.
