Elemental Beings By Calista MacGillivray

Elemental beings are very much real! They are not the mythical creatures fairytales would have us believe; but real tangible beings living and co-creating with mankind to better our lives and to maintain our planet’s homeostatic balance. Here is my personal account of them.

When I was young I would talk to the tree spirits and faeries that lived at the bottom of our garden. I didn’t give any thought to this accepting wholeheartedly that they were as real as everything else around me. As I grew up human-life set in and with it came all the ego conditionings and analysis of modern living. I stepped away from communicating with elementals, slowly forgetting about them and eventually believing they weren’t real!

My career path didn’t help matters as I went in to academia and then in to cancer research as a biochemical scientist. I loved my job as I was helping others but deep down I knew this was not the right path for me. It wasn’t until 2007 when a strange looking course seemingly fell in my lap. It was a course in Reiki. I had no idea what this was but knew it was for me. Looking back I know it was the elementals that guided me to the course, which from there started a series of events that would see me leave science to start up my own holistic business – KittySoaps.

KittySoaps was a great skincare business; I owe it so much for re-awakening my spirituality. Through making my products I came to meet my angels, crystal guides, and of course, the elementals! For KittySoaps was the first company to enhance its products with Reiki, Angelic, Elemental and Crystal healing energies – a concept that has now been adopted by companies the world over. As well as myself for my Ascension Kits™.

Everything that I remembered as a child came flooding back to me like a waterfall of divine light. Each day I would make my products with the wonderful assistance of my divine helpers! Through experience I came to understand that what myth would have us believe is only a mere shard of truth for who the elementals actually are. Yes they belong to the elements that together make up our physical world – Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit – but they don’t always appear like how we have portrayed them.

Like angels, and other divine beings of light, elementals will manifest in a way that is most appropriate to you. This could be as a small winged faerie like myth would have us believe, or in their truer form as a bright light, colour or energy. For years I thought the true form of a mermaid (a type of water elemental) was the half female, half fish as legend suggests, but in reality this wasn’t the case for me. They first time I saw a mermaid with my physical eyes I was taken a back as she looked nothing like I thought! What I saw was the most incredible swirling vortex of light and water spiralling in and out; it was truly magnificent! I asked the mermaid why her kin are normally depicted as half human / half fish beings and she told me simply, “The mermaids, like other elementals, take a form that represents the functionality of their being and/or habitat. As the planet is now coming to a greater level of awareness and understanding when appropriate we will chose to manifest in our true energy form.” I was intrigued by this and have since asked only to see the true form of an elemental being when it’s in my midst.

Know that elementals can be found everywhere! Their role is to maintain the balance of nature by working in and with the five elements of life - Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit. All that makes up physical earth (including plant and stone life) lay elementals such as, gnomes, elves, pixies, faeries, stone beings, crystal beings, dryads and wood nymphs, to name just a few. In air lay elementals such as, sylphs, zephyrs, spirulites and imps. In fire lay elementals such as, salamanders, fire sprites and dragons (nb: dragons can come from all elements). In water habitats lay elementals such as, undines, mermaids, mermen, nymphs, water faeries, sprites and kelpies. And in spirit which encompasses all elements and elementals lay the realm of the unicorns (including the pegasusians) and higher dimensional beings that often oversee the work of the elementals.

The elementals primary role is environmental, and we can certainly feel this from the magic they bestow to our natural world. Have you ever sat under a tree and immediately felt at peace? Or felt your troubles melting away when you are by water? If you have, then you have felt the elementals! These ‘feelings’ are their very essence. But our nature friends can also aid us in our daily life. The earth elementals for example, can help us to look after our physical body and as such as master healers. The air guardians remind us to breathe and work on our mental body. The water elementals work on our emotional body, and help to strengthen our intuitive abilities. The fire elementals work with our intent and can inspire and motivate us like no other beings. And those classed as spirit elementals help us to maintain our connection with Source and aid our soul’s path to enlightenment.

Over the next few months I plan to go in depth for each type of elemental and bring you messages and ways to communicate from them to better your life. For now, here are my top ten tips to elemental communication and a meditation for you to do to meet your own Elemental Guide!

Ways to communicate with the Elementals.

1. Shift your awareness from your mind to your heart. By doing so you will come to believe in the existence of elementals; the starting point to communicating with them. Elementals will know whether you believe in their existence or not. If they sense you believe and are open to their communication they will come forward to you.

2. Talk to them! You may feel silly the first time you talk to a tree, a stream or a flower but preserve! The elementals wish to work with you as much as you wish to work with them. As you open your heart more to the existence of elementals you will begin to know, feel, hear or see their divine presence. Write a journal of your experiences, recognising their communication each time you talk to them. See how your journey enfolds together over the days, weeks, months and years!

3. Know thyself! Understand that you are a spiritual being having a physical experience and not the other way about. By recognising yourself as a divine being you automatically remove any barriers to enjoying full communication with the elementals. You transcend the ego-mind and with it any fears to elemental communication. This will help you to see yourself as part of the oneness of creation; that you and the elementals are part of the same divine spark!

4. Surround yourself in nature to lift your vibration to the same frequency as the elementals. ‘See’ nature with your heart, not your eyes. Allow yourself to live it, breathe it and to walk in it every day. Feel the earth below you as you walk or lay upon it. Listen to the heartbeat of earth and its motherly guidance that it gives to you freely. Bring flowers, plants, candles, and crystals in to your home asking the elementals to bless and accompany these elemental gifts from nature.

5. Open your awareness to the beauty of nature, which naturally attracts the elementals. When you are walking outside lift your focus from your daily life to the sky above you. Contemplate the sky. ‘Feel’ air; breathe it deeply enjoying how it fills you. Look to the flowers, plants and trees around you. Feel their colours; smell their perfumes. Be aware of the wildlife around you; take in their joy and positive emotions that they emit naturally. For example, when you watch birds fly above you, take a moment to experience the sense of ‘freedom and peace that they give out. Allow nature’s sweet energy fill your being. Relax for no reason other than to simply ‘be’ by water, or sit under a tree allowing its supporting embrace to lift you from any daily concerns. Let all be washed away as you remember you are a child of nature.

6. Care for yourself and the environment. The elementals will be naturally attracted to those that honour and love themselves and the world around them. Switch to natural living in your diet, skincare and household products. Get involved in conservation, recycling and planetary causes. Feed the birds more or perhaps set up a sacred space in your home or garden to honour the elementals and nature. Visit here daily to relax and ‘be’. This will help you to create a sacred space in your mind/heart too. If you practise healing, gift to yourself often healing energies as well as send them out to the planet and the elementals. If you don’t practise healing, do as Archangel Gabriel suggested to my lately, to visualise the planet, including all waters, people, animals and elementals bathed in bright golden light – the colour of Divine peace and harmony.

7. Ask them to aid your life! Many people don’t realise that we can call on elementals to bring in blessings and healing in to our life. The elementals love to help us, and by doing so we are helping them too! If you are going through a period of heartache bring in flowers to your bedroom and ask the faeries to clear your heart of lower feelings while you sleep. If you are looking to be inspired or more creative, lit a candle asking the salamander within it to bring in new ideas and inspiration for you. If you are going through a period of change sit by water asking the mermaids to help support and buffer you through all transitions. If you are seeking more spiritual enlightening ask the unicorns to come forth to you in your sleep or meditation practise to guide you on your journey. And, if you feel in need of physical healing ask the gnomes to clear and heal your body until you feel on top form once more! These are just some examples of how to work with elementals to better you life. Have fun, be creative and recognise signs of their help as they come to you.

8. Practise gratitude often! Like everything in life, elementals appreciate gratitude. When you send them healing or positive thoughts, do so with a loving grateful heart. Tell them how much you appreciate all the work they do to keep our planet so beautiful, e.g., how they make flowers sparkle with colour, or keep our air so fresh. Give thanks to them for all the help they may give to you in your personal life and healing practices. Elementals will always be more attracted to loving, grateful people rather than negative individuals.

9. Have fun! Elementals love play, fun and laughter. They encourage us to be less fixated with time, plans and organising. To see the lighter side of life – to be spontaneous and to ‘live in our joy’! When I make the ‘Faerie Realm’ Ascension Kit™ I will find myself in full song whilst making the essences. My faerie guide, Assrafael, loves to join in and sing with me imbuing her sweet energy in to the water as we go. It is a truly beautiful experience!

10. Tell others about them! I’m sure you agree that the more people who know about the elementals the better our planet would be. I feel everyone would be more mindful of the world around them and have a better awareness of the divine nature of their experience here on earth. More people would see that their role is an important one and begin to feel the beautiful oneness with all life, including the elemental realms. I would hedge my bets that we would all feel much better too! So do share this article with your friends. Ask the elementals to come in to your healing practice or share groups and enjoy their infinite love and blessings.

Meeting your Elemental Guide

Everyone has an elemental guardian, if not more than one that walks with them throughout life. Much in the same way as we have guardian angels. In my writings and through making my ascension tools, I have come to meet my guides from every known element, and some I wasn’t aware of before! Working with your elementals is a beautiful and enriching experience.

Try this short meditation the next time you are outside in nature if you would like to meet your guides too.

The best time to do this meditation is early morning or early evening. Sit in your favourite spot in nature – a place where you won’t be disturbed. Close your eyes and take some relaxing deep breaths. Allow your breath to still the chatter in your mind and to relax your body.

Focus on your heart in the middle of your chest. Imagine you are breathing in to your heart a beautiful golden light, seeing or feeling it filter out through your body as your exhale. Breathe in gold light; breathe out gold light in to your body.

Allow the gold light to expand a little further out with each exhale. Seeing or feeling it pass down your spine and feet, travelling down through the ground below you like roots of a golden tree. Feel your connection with the earth and enjoy how this feels.

Breathe out the gold light in and out through your chakras and aura, feeling or sensing the light like a cascading waterfall clearing and attuning you as it flows through in you. Enjoy how this feels.

From your aura, breathe out the light further to your surroundings. Open your senses to the air around you and the sun, like a warm fire, shining down upon you. Connect your golden light to these elements and enjoy how this feels.

Now shining brightly like a star, breathe up your golden light to the heavens, to the higher realms and to the Divine Source. Connect with your spirit element and enjoy how this feels.

In your perfect centred state of being now mentally call on your elemental to come forward to you. Open your inner vision, hearing, knowing and sensing as they make them known to you now. What kind of elemental has came forward? Ask your elemental what their name is? If they have a gift for you; open your heart to receive it, knowing deep down what it represents. Enjoy this time of connection asking your elemental friend any questions you have. And repeat this meditation often to strengthen your relationship together.

When you have finished your meditation thank the elements around you and your elemental guide who came forward. Ground yourself by going for a walk or drinking some water. Write down your insights for future communications!
