The source of life on this planet. Likewise it is the fluids (the main component of the body) which nourish and maintain the health of every cell. Water corresponds to the vital fluids, i.e. blood, lymph, mucus, etc. The kidney is especially linked to this element. Its motion is downward. Water has the capacity to flow, infinitely yielding yet infinitely powerful, ever changing and often dangerous with the capacity also to nourish and cleanse. Water is the ultimate yin; quiet, cold; representing the resting time of winter. It has a waiting, silent, still quality that can be described as "stored potential". It has flexibility (think of water filling up any shape of vessel), yet it has great power (think of the devastation caused by floods). In human psychology the element governs the balance between fear or being exploited and the desire to dominate.Water is Emotion.It feels, it dreams, it nurtures the heart.It refreshes, it cools, it is wet, fluid, heavy and mysterious,taking the shape of whatever contains it.Water is the food of life, and essential for life, for all things arose from the sea. It quenches the thirst of the earth made barren by fire and air.Water is serenity. It is blue, clear and passive, yet seeps through the cracks of our defenses. It flows with our mood, and cannot be held, for it slips through the hands. It is the swift current of a brooding storm, the heavy foam riding rough on the tides of the ocean. It can erode and drown.Yet too it is the gentleness of ripples on a crystal pool.It moves, it ebbs, it flows, it cleanses, it soothes.Only water can bring the sanctity of true love, the balance of harmony. It is deceptive, subtle and elusive. It has force and power, rhythm and cycle, charity and compassion. It is the hazy mirror of the subconscious instincts of our past, and our conscious needs for the future.Water is the secret murmur of our heart, and the gentle reflection of the Spirit in manifestation.Water within usEmotions are strange and unaccountable just like water. They "rise up" within us, often unbidden, take no account of reason or thought and, without control, can lead us into trauma and confusion.Many times a person will say "I know the logic of it, but in reality it is a different matter". When we are hurt we often cry. When we are happy we often cry, and unless we can contain our emotions, we can swamp ourselves and others with our tears.Water itself needs to be contained if it is not to run unchecked and wasted.Watch the movement of water as it cascades, crystal and clear over the rocks of a waterfall, then compare it with the limpid stillness of a glade side pool, and how both these things may be expressed within your own nature.Run water from a tap and feel its coolness slipping through your fingers, then see if you can pick it up in your hands.Imagine what would happen if a dam broke its walls, or the rivers dried up and the monsoon never came.All this can be compared with the feelings within us, tranquil and gentle as the stillness of a pool, or raging and as uncontrolled as the mighty rollers of a storm tossed sea.Water is the great purifier, it cleanses and washes away disorder and dirt, just as the higher emotion of love can cleanse and revitalise our inner being.Water is not light and bright like Air, for that is flirtation, and it is not the heat of Fire, for that is desire.It is soft, limpid,malleable, and can easily be contained or overturned by the touch of love. Thoughts can ripple the waves of water, or whip it up into a storm.Our Spirit of enthusiasm can be severely dampened by uncontained emotion, but Earth and the stability within us is revived and enriched by the cool and gentle refreshment of rain.When you have lost your wayWalk out along the seashore, swim in a limpid pool, or take a shower and feel it flushing away your troubles.It is cleansing and restful.Relax, and imagine the joy of being able to allow your feelings to flow through you unrestricted by fear.Nobody can really have your love unless you truely love yourself.Water is about tranquility, gentleness and compassion, the blossoming of an open heart.It is about love, and above all the love of giving for its' own sake, and without conditions."I find myself at the extremity of a long beach. How gladly does the spirit leap forth, and suddenly enlarge its sense of being to the full extent of the broad, blue, sunny deep! A greeting and a homage to the Sea! I descend over its margin, and dip my hand into the wave that meets me, and bathe my brow. That far-resounding roar is the Ocean's voice of welcome. His salt breath brings a blessing along with it." ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne“I pray to be like the ocean, with soft currents, maybe waves at times. More and more, I want the consistency rather than the highs and the lows.” ~ Drew Barrymore“Have a deep respect for the source of life and also for the ocean, for the forest, for the stars and for the truth.”“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” ~ Mahatma GandhiThis Thy body Love, These Thy hands These Thy thoughts Love This Thy dance.There is only one Tree, There is only One Garden, There is only One Man, There is only One Woman, There is only One Apple, The One you are eating. There is only One Life, The One you're Living. There is only You.
