Why the Elements?
The concept of the five elements of nature is that they are the different manifestations of Awareness (or Consciousness.) The qualities of the elements also tie into the qualities of our beings. Earth being connected to body, air interwoven with breath, fire igniting the heart, water flowing in mind and ether representing the presence of spirit (universe, God, soul.)
Ether (Space) acts as the container for all the other elements (earth, air/wind, fire and water) and is the element from which all other elements originate, and to which they all return. Similarly, our spirit holds the space of our body, breath, heart and mind. Where it begins, where it ends.
This perspective offers the idea that the physical elements in nature are not separate from consciousness but are rather manifestations of it. It underscores the deep connection between the material and the spiritual, emphasizing the unity and continuity of existence. Yoking together body, breath, heart and mind to the whole of the soul. This is yoga - to yoke or unite.
