Healing The Chakras With The ELEMENTS
Each chakra corresponds to one of the natural elements. The five elements of nature are Earth, Air, Water and Fire, and the fifth spiritual element of Aether (Space/Spirit) is also included. Every Element exists within every cell of our body, and all five elements exist to a degree within all of the 7 chakras. Each Chakra contains a ‘layer’ of each of the five Elemental Levels of energy.

In addition, Chinese philosophy recognizes five distinct elements of cyclical change called water, wood, fire, earth, and metal, which are also used in accupuncture and feng shui.
Each element is considered either warm or cold, moist or dry, and is also associated with a gender; unlike masculine/feminine as a sexual gender, these energies represent qualities instead. The female (Yin) essence represents dark and receptive energy, and the male (Yang) essence represents light and active energy.
