You weren’t made to live on autopilot.
You were made to feel, to pause, to move, to breathe, to connect. And when you don’t feel quite like yourself, it’s not always a sign something is wrong — it might just mean something is out of rhythm
At Salt + Soil, we believe in returning to the elements. Not just as metaphors, but as gentle guides. They help us check in with ourselves, reset our rituals, and come back to what matters.
What Are the 5 Elements of Rooted Wellness?
Rooted Wellness is grounded in these five elements:
1. Earth — Stability + Nourishment
When your life feels scattered, Earth brings grounding.
- Reconnect through routine, rest, and food that feels anchoring.
- Ask: What makes me feel safe and steady right now?
2. Water — Flow + Emotions
Water helps you move with what you’re feeling — not against it.
- Practice breathwork, emotional journaling, or fluid movement.
- Ask: Where can I let go or soften today?
3. Fire — Energy + Action
Fire brings warmth, clarity, and the spark to move forward.
- Honor this element with sunshine, spicy food, or bold boundaries.
- Ask: What is ready to be activated in me?
4. Air — Clarity + Thought
Air clears mental fog and brings fresh ideas.
- Lean into silence, light movement, deep breathing, or wide-open space.
- Ask: What thoughts need to move through me instead of staying stuck?
5. Ether — Spirit + Space
Ether is the unseen — your intuition, your knowing, your breath between the noise.
- Practice meditation, creativity, prayer, or simply being still.
- Ask: What does my spirit need more of today?
Using the Elements in Your Everyday Life
The beauty of elemental wellness is that it’s not a checklist — it’s a rhythm. You can wake up and choose:
- Do I need grounding (Earth)?
- Or emotional movement (Water)?
- Maybe I need a spark (Fire), clarity (Air), or quiet (Ether)?
You can build your daily rituals around what your body and spirit are asking for.

You don’t have to force your way through — you can flow, spark, rest, and rise.
That’s elemental.
