Air | Water | Earth | Fire

​​​

Divine Women in Business™ Magazine invites women from around the world to submit original poetry exploring transformation, power, healing, and identity through the symbolic lens of the four elements: Air, Water, Earth and Fire.

 

The Elemental Journey of Becoming

 

A woman’s path from wound to awakening

​

This poetic journey follows a sacred progression through four elemental stages of healing.

Each element represents a phase of awakening, guiding the movement from

pain toward power and wholeness.

​​

Air – The Awakening​

​Theme: Breath • Voice • Truth • Awareness • Mental Liberation

​​

What this stage represents:

The moment she realizes something is wrong. The first breath after suffocation. Awareness of abuse, pain, silence, or internal struggle. Finding her voice. Naming truth. Seeing clearly.

​

Emotional tone: fragile, searching, honest, awakening

​

Poetic focus ideas:

​

• Learning to breathe again

• Breaking silence

• Mental fog lifting

• Realizing her worth

• Hearing her inner voice

• Speaking truth after suppression

​

Transformation in Air:
From confusion → awareness
From silence → voice

​

Water – The Cleansing

Theme: Grief • Healing • Release • Emotional Depth • Forgiveness • Flow

​

What this stage represents:

She feels everything. The tears. The mourning of what was lost. The pain of abuse, betrayal, trauma, or self-abandonment. Emotional release. Washing away shame. Beginning healing.

​

Emotional tone: raw, emotional, vulnerable, surrendering

​

Poetic focus ideas:

​

• Crying, mourning, emotional release

• Letting pain surface

• Grieving the past version of herself

• Forgiveness of self or others

• Emotional waves and surrender

• Washing away guilt, shame, fear

​

Transformation in Water:
From suppression → release
From pain → healing

​

Earth - The Grounding

Theme: Stability • Roots • Embodiment • Resilience • Self-Trust • Rebuilding

​

What this stage represents:

She begins rebuilding. Standing again. Reconnecting to her body, her worth, her ancestry, her truth. Learning safety. Creating stability. Trusting herself. Becoming rooted and unshakable.

 

Emotional tone: steady, reflective, strengthening, reclaiming.

​

Poetic focus ideas:

​

• Reclaiming self after trauma

• Standing firm after breaking

• Finding safety within

• Rebuilding identity

• Connecting to ancestors or inner strength

• Learning self-trust and boundaries

​

Transformation in Earth:

From broken → grounded
From fear → stability

​

Fire– The Transformation

Theme: Power • Rebirth • Courage • Passion • Leadership • Liberation • Divine Self

 

What this stage represents:

She rises. Not just healed, but transformed. Fire is her power, her voice, her rebirth. She is no longer surviving, she is becoming. She reclaims identity, purpose, and divine feminine strength.

​

Emotional tone: powerful, rising, liberated, radiant

​

Poetic focus ideas:

​

• Rebirth after destruction

• Turning pain into power

• Owning her voice and story

• Stepping into leadership and truth

• Burning away the old self

• Becoming her divine, whole self

​

Transformation in Fire:

From wounded → empowered
From survival → embodiment
From hidden → radiant
