Once upon a time, there was only space. 

A vast expanse with no light, no warmth, no matter, no beginning or end.

And the potential for everything.

A container for anything,

And then came movement…wind.

Friction of movement created a spark, and fire was born…

As fire became more dense, it turned to liquid - water element.

Water became the binding agent for the amalgamation of the elements to their most gross form, Earth.

Because of the inherent subtle qualities of Space Element, I find it the most mystical,

The one most tied to Something Greater.

It is also incredibly pragmatic. How could our bodies function without any of the elements, and in particular, Space?

What would our lives be without Space-figuratively?

How do you feel when you lose a sense of space, time, or freedom?

And what becomes possible when you create space in your life for the possibility or potential for something greater?

The scope of exploration with each of these elements can range from the most tangible and literal, to the most cosmic, universal, and mystical. And in the ancient practice of Ayurveda, there is in fact no separation between the two: Everything in the Universe is Us. 

We are the vast expanse of the Universe, as boundless as Space, as inexplicable as the wise rhythms of the Wind, as brilliant as the Fire in the stars, as supple and malleable as Water, as steady, sure, and strong as Earth.
