As you are sitting here reading this allow your awareness to turn inwards into yourself. We are going to discuss five elements and see how they interact in our lives.A good place to start is with a simple example. Just imagine that you are going to do a little gardening. The first thing one does is loosen soil. By digging soil what we are doing is breaking soil up or should I say mixing Air Element with Earth Element.
The next thing a good gardener will do is plant seed or introduce Life Force Element. He will then water seed or introduce Water Element.
The gardener has learned that spring is best time to plant seeds as Sun is getting stronger or Fire Element is being introduced to complete balance of all five elements. As we know from experience at growing plants, if all five elements are in balance life of plant grows strong and healthy.
Our life also relies on balance of five elements. In humans life force is introduced at time of conception and over first 9 months mother’s womb provides everything foetus needs to develop. When baby is born five elements come into play as baby takes its first breath.
So it is easy to see Air Element coming into body through breath. The Earth Element comes in from fruits of Earth in form of food we eat.
The heat of Sun provides Fire Element and to a certain extent we also have an internal fire in form of Digestive Fire.
The Water Element comes into body by what we drink and Life Force Element keeps entering body by our internal connection to divine.
