I wonder what about this etherrm. How to view it at all? Is it something like... space between spaces? 🤔

@arkania Ether can be understood as the primordial space from which the other elements emerge. It is such a matrix, a potential for existence. In meditation, it can be experienced as a state of deep peace and emptiness.

I have a question when it comes to fire. I associate it with destruction. How can it be used in a positive way?

@nastie Fire is not only a destructive force, but also a energy transforming. Think of the fire in the fireplace - it gives heat, warms, but can also be used for cooking. In ourselves, fire manifests as passion, enthusiasm, but also anger or rage. It is important to learn to control it and direct it in the right way.

And can you give any specific examples of the presence of these elements in our lives? I would like to better understand how they affect us.

@centa Look at water. It is fluid, adaptive, just like our emotions. Earth, on the other hand, gives us stability, keeps us upright, just like our bones. Air is breath, the thoughts that move through our mind. Fire is our vital energy, metabolism. And ether, is our consciousness, the space in which all this takes place.

@kapturek And how can this knowledge be put into practice?

@centa The possibilities are many. Understanding the elements helps us get to know ourselves better, our weaknesses and strengths. We can also consciously work with the elements, such as through meditation, yoga, or contact with nature, to strengthen our internal balance.

What about the element of metal? I read somewhere that in Chinese medicine it is also important.

@oliczka The Chinese tradition speaks of the five elements, but instead of ether, there is metal. It represents structure, organization, discipline. Like ether, it is the source of the other elements.

I would like to learn more about how the elements manifest in our emotions. Can you tell me more about this?

@daneczka Each element has its counterpart in the emotional sphere. For example, an excess of fire can manifest itself in anger and irritation, and a shortage of water - apathy and sadness.

And how can you harmonize the elements within yourself? Are there any exercises or techniques that can help with this?

@leonora There are many methods. For example, you can use aromatherapy, music therapy, breathing exercises, meditation. It is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and contact with nature.

Grounding first and foremost and receiving each stimulus

I wonder if the elements can affect our relationships with other people?

@faddi I think how yes. After all, each of us has a different combination of elements, which affects our temperament, the way we perceive the world and react to different situations.

And is it somehow possible to "see" these elements in other people?

@mirta This is a difficult question. I think you can sense it intuitively by observing a person's behavior, the way they move, the way they speak.
