I've always resonated with the elements. I've talked to trees and plants for a long time, since I was a kid. I always felt as if the elements were my friends, and I would (and still do) visualize them as people I could talk to and learn from. I often ask the elements to lend me their gifts...the strength of earth, the tenacity of fire, the adaptability of water, etc. When I tune myself for channeling or any other type of ritual, calling the elements is one of the first things that I do. I also have an affinity for stones and crystals. They are like my children. If you just learn the language, they'll talk to you all day.
