The elements

 

We are the creation of Cosmic Consciousness and considered to be a microcosm of the macrocosm that is the universe. 

The stars do not lie by true interpretation and so is the spirit in the subtleties of our true nature.

 The building blocks of Nature and the natural elements are the foundation in Ayurvedic observations and Astrological elements of space, fire, air, water and earth that exist in all matter of organic and inorganic existence.

Our psychological tendencies, as well as our senses and the various aspects of our body’s functioning, are all directly related to the five elements.

 Ayurvedic observations are based with the elements of space from purity of united cosmic consciousness as Sun light, Moon light and Jupiter the planet of spirituality as the subtle all pervading vibrating energy of prana.

Space is the possibility in the first place and provides the ability to move, grow and communicate and relates therefore to all respiratory functioning, thorax, mouth, nose and expansion of consciousness and is responsible for love in all compassion to function and as well feelings of separations, isolation and emptiness or not being grounded, with insecurities and fears.

 Air is the second manifestation of consciousness as it is the current in the space, Air is electrical energy—the electrons moves because of the air element. It is formless, but it can be perceived by touch, to which it is related. The principle of movement, air expresses itself in the movements of the muscles, the pulsations of the heart, the expansion and contraction of the lungs. Sensory and neural impulses move to and from the brain under the influence of the air principle, which is also responsible for breathing, ingestion, the movement of the intestines, and eliminations. Every thought, desire, and will are governed by the air principle, which gives us happiness, freshness, joy, excitement, and is also responsible for fear, anxiety, insecurity, and nervousness. The Moon and its association of the intuitive feelings and its memory as well Mercury the planet of communication are related to Air. 

  Fire is hot, dry, sharp, penetrating, and luminous, for when air begins to move, it produces friction, which generates heat and fire. Fire is active and changeable. In our solar system, the sun is the source of light and Mars is the planet of the fire element.

 The heart in the solar plexus regulates body temperature and metabolism: digestion, absorption, and all assimilation through the blood.  Fire is associated with light and with vision. Fire is intelligence. It is necessary for transformation, attention, comprehension, appreciation, recognition, and understanding.

 Fire is also responsible for the negative force of anger, hatred, envy, criticism, ambition, and competitiveness. The positive sides are protection, safeguarding all medical help and the will of spirit with a survivor character. 

Water is the next manifestation of consciousness; water is fluid, heavy, soft, viscous, cold, dense, and cohesive. It brings molecules together. Water is chemical energy and the universal recycle solvent. Water exists in the body as plasma, serum, saliva, nasal secretion, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and sweat. It is necessary for nutrition and to maintain life; without it, our cells could not survive. The Moon is mainly related to all water functions on earth and all female menstruation circles, regulating contentment, compassion and the ability of intuitive foresight, dreams and memory.  

 Earth is heavy, hard, rough and bulky slow-moving, and most solid of the elements.  Earth is grounding and nature loving and from the Ayurvedic point of view crystallized solid consciousness. It gives strength, structure, and stamina to the body. The body and its solid structures of bones, cartilage, nails, teeth, hair and skin are related to the earth element. Venus and Saturn are associated with earth and creating attachment, greed, and depression, and its absence of feelings. On the positive side it relates to patience, infrastructure and the practical approaches to life.
