How to Amplify your Intuition with the Elements
Last week, I shared 3 tips to help use your intuition to make better decisions. I also had the opportunity to speak at a magical event - Upper Left Ladies Summit Mini 2024 - the theme of which was The Elements.
So I thought it’d be fun to combine the two! Let’s talk about how we can actually integrate natural elements to amplify our intuitive abilities.
These spiritual strategies can help you reconnect and amplify your intuition, which will help you make better decisions for your life and business.
They’ll also help you manage the stress of making big decisions and all of the moving pieces that go along with growing your business.
For each element, I’ve provided a suggested season, grounding practice, ritual, and affirmation to help you tune in and turn on your intuition.
Water: Emotions & Flow
Water is the most intuitive element, and we’re about to head into winter at the time this is being written, so it makes sense to start with it. Working with water can help you tune into your feelings and subconscious.
Season: Winter
Grounding practice: Meditate near water, visualize your intuition flowing like a river.
Ritual: Journal using stream of consciousness writing to let your thoughts and feelings flow freely.
Affirmation: I trust the flow of my intuition to guide me with clarity.
Earth: Grounding & Stability
Earth grounds your energy, keeping you centered and connected to the present. A strong foundation is key to hearing your intuition clearly.
Season: Fall
Grounding practice: Put your bare feet on grass, soil, or sand to connect with Earth’s energy.
Ritual: Take walks outside to quiet your mind and gain clarity.
Affirmation: I am rooted in truth, and my intuition blossoms from my connection to the Earth.
Fire: Passion & Transformation
Fire ignites passion and burns away distractions, helping you focus on what can really move the needle. It symbolizes courage and clarity.
Season: Summer
Grounding practice: Meditate while watching a candle flame to heighten your focus and awareness.
Ritual: Write down fears or doubts, then burn the paper (safely!) to release them energetically.
Affirmation: I embrace the fire of my intuition, allowing it to transform and guide me.
Air: Clarity & Inspiration
Air symbolizes the mind, ideas, and communication, helping you clear mental fog and listen to your intuitive insights.
Season: Spring
Grounding practice: Use breathwork - deep, intentional breathing to calm your mind and heighten awareness.
Ritual: Watch the wind blowing through the trees and imagine your thoughts being carried away by the wind, leaving space for intuitive clarity.
Affirmation: With every breath, I expand and receive the wisdom of my intuition.
Cosmos: Connection & Expansion
The cosmos represents your connection to universal energy, higher self, and spiritual guidance.
Season: Inter-seasonal
Grounding practice: Sit in stillness and visualize yourself as a part of the infinite universe, receiving messages from your higher self.
Ritual: Use sound bowls or attuned music to align with the frequency of intuition.
Affirmation: I am connected to universal wisdom, and my intuition flows effortlessly through me.

Incorporating gratitude into these practices will elevate your mood and literally raise your frequency. Gratitude is key to manifesting - and to simply being present and enjoying your journey more.
To help you know when to use these strategies, tap into your astrology and human design. Also consider the seasons, and the season of life you’re in. Play around with each of them and figure out what works best for you. What helps you best visualize, get clarity, and feel a shift in your ability to hear your intuition.
