In yogic teachings, there are five elements in nature; earth, water, fire, air, and ether (or space) and they are each linked to five of the seven chakras. The chakras are the energy centres in the body and are associated with states of consciousness, physical areas of the body and aspects of our lives. The lower chakras are associated with more practical matters in our lives such as survival, movement, and action whereas the higher chakras are associated with the mind and more symbolic concepts. Whether you take the idea of the chakras metaphorically or literally, aligning your yoga practice with the elements is a lovely way to be more reflective about yourself and your life in a comprehensive way. If you are practising at home, you could even close your yoga practice by journaling on the concepts of one element and/or chakra and how it relates to your life. In this article, I will give you a brief overview of each element and its related chakra. 0:00 introduction 1:56 element no. 1 3:08 element no. 2 4:09 element no. 3 5:38 element no. 4 6:53 element no. 5 8:50 conclusion 11:37 my question to you 12:18 thank you to my patrons ☕ BUY ME A COFFEE: https://ko-fi.com/ailsaburns 🎧 YOGA NIDRA LIBRARY An annual subscription that gives you access to the Yoga Nidra Library.
