The Four Elements Model: A Core Model in Embodiment

The podcast episode introduces the four elements model, which has been used for training and in various embodiment systems. It is a model of embodied typology, exploring different types of people based on earth, air, fire, and water elements. The model offers a useful tool for self-awareness, coaching, and understanding others. Each element has its advantages and disadvantages, such as earth being stable and reliable but also potentially stuck and slow. The episode suggests exploring practices that can support and balance different elements and looking at how our environment, communication styles, and cultural influences can impact our embodiment.
