“TIERRA MI CUERPO
(Earth my Body)
AGUA MI SANGRE
(Water my Blood)
AIRE MI ALIENTO
(Air my Breath)
FUEGO MI ESPÍRITU”
(Fire my Spirit)
– South American Indigenous Proverb
Our whole physical universe, and any atom of it, is a constellation of the 5 elements – fire, water, air, earth, and ether. Our body consists of all those elements, and balance between them is essential for our wellbeing and vitality.
The earth element we can see the clearest. Water and fire are already more subtle and made of less physical matter than earth, and are sometimes not even that visible to our eyes. Air we can not see, and need secondary events and movements to experience and know it, like breathing or sensing.
But what we can see and feel is only the tip of the iceberg. Ether is not fully tangible like air or fire, but not purely abstract either — it’s the subtle field in which the other elements manifest.
All elements come from spirit and consciousness and have specific properties to them. These properties get then projected into our physical universe and experience and they become the objects we know and can see or feel – starting from earth, water, fire and air. All other objects in this world, including our physical body, is a constellation of those elements. Also our subtle bodies consist of those elements.
For our energetic exercises, we can harness the essence and power of the elements according to our needs at that moment. By connecting to an element, meditating on it, and visualize it filling our being, we can absorb its energy and charge our energy body with it. All elements have different properties, which together in balance, maintain a perfectly healthy body and vibrant life. If an element gets out of balance, we can bring us back into balance, by connecting with it and absorbing its related qualities and properties.
In the free course about the Energy Body, you learn about experiencing and physically sensing your Etheric Body, and the related feeling and texture of it. Just as your body is „made of“ the ether, so it is also made of the other four elements. And with those we are going to work with in the course, and use them to charge and vitalize our whole being.
