Delving in to Five Natural Elements All Living Beings Are Made of Ayurveda states that every living being is created in varying proportions of five natural elements Ether (Akash), Air (Vayu), Water (Jal), Fire (Agni), and Earth (Prithvi). When we are in harmony within ourselves, our mind, body and spirit are aligned with the rhythm of nature and universe. There is an expression in Ayurveda that states, “As is the human body, so is the cosmic body. As is the human mind, so is the cosmic mind.” This essentially describes humans are not separate from nature. They are intimately intertwined and when you open your heart and mind to this, you will find that the universe has been patiently waiting for you to be still listen and learn what you have only but forgotten.
In order for us to add value to the outer world, we first need to heal and achieve balance within our inner selves. Five Natural Elements project by Sivalya is an attempt to integrate inner strength and healing into daily lives of our communities. Wearing a crystal jewelry representing your element type will help you achieve a harmonious balance with nature's rhythm and help achieve your goals.
