Earth, Air, Fire, and Water-the four elements give us a way to describe the universe and everything in it, a structured approach to knowing the unknowable. The elements are also potent keys to heightened self-understanding and personal balance. Your elemental nature is revealed in the way you express yourself in relationships, the roles you play in life, even your sense of style.
Insightful and fun to use, The Way of Four will show you how to create balance within your self, your home, and your workplace. It starts with a complete and concise history of the four elements, from the Celts, to ancient India and Greece, to modern Western Occultism.

After completing an assessment of your personality traits, you'll discover specific ways to achieve balance by adding the elemental qualities that you need through meditations, exercises, perfumes, beauty treatments, fashion, home design, and even the foods you eat.
