She looks at a range of aspects of nature, from trees to rivers, sunlight to storms, butterflies to otters, and highlights ideas and positive lessons associated with each one. Arranged by the four elements, there are overall themes throughout the book: Earth is about grounding and balance; Air is about inspiration and freedom; Fire is connected to confidence and passion; Water concerns healing and self-expression. Each entry includes a daily intention, associated folklore, practical exercises to try and a closing meditation.
