So using this information, lets say you wanted to have a ritual for creating stronger passion between you and your partner/spouse. After reading the above information, you would probably choose fire. Pretty Simple!
Next, for your element ritual, you will probabaly choose to have the element physically present in some form so that you can draw energy from it. Here are was to have the element present:
Earth- Stones, Dirt, or Salt
Air- Incense or a Feather
Fire- Red Candle
Water- Bowl of Water
Having the element physically present is optional, but it will help, especially when you are new to this.
Now to begin your ritual! You should start by becoming one with the element , imagining your entire body and spirit being made out of that element. You can use a simple affirmination to help to help yourself achive this, such as "I am (name of element)." You may hold the element in your hand as you visualize yourself becoming that element. You have now connected with the element, giving acess to a pool full of energy from that element.
The final step is to direct the energy towards your goal. You can visualize the energy being relesed in the direction of your goal while saying an affirmination or chant. For instance, if we use the previous example for increasing pasion in a relationship, you could visualize you and your partner being romantic together, and then you say in a commanding voice such as the following: "The eternal power of fire, bring us passion!" Inhale, and feel the remainder of the fire energy being relesed as you inhale slowly.
It is done. Repeat this process often, until you reach the goal you are looking for.
