Mudra - Hand Gesture
Element
The whole Universe, COSMOS or Brahamanda is
made - up or composition of 5 elements.
Our physical body is also the
composition of same 5 elements, namely -
Air, Water,
Fire,
Earth and
Aakash (Ether
or Void) -
the tiny intercellular spaces in the human body).
There is a proverb in Hindi – “Chiti (Earth),
Jal (Water), Pawak (Fire), Gagan (Ether), Samira (Air), and Panch (5) Tatwa
(Element) Se Bana (made of) Sarira (Body)”.
Means our body is made – up of 5
elements.
We can also Cure or Heal our Chakras through these Mudras.
Blocked energy in our 7 chakras can often lead to illness.
So it's important to understand what each chakra represents.
And what we can do
to keep this energy flowing freely.
In Sanskrit there is also a proverb
“Yatha Pinde Thatha Brahamande”.
Means as Pind (Body) is as Brahamand (Universe) is.
This means the elements are
same in both - in the body and universe.
These 5 elements are also associated
with the 5 senses and act as the gross medium for the experience of sensations.
The basest element is Earth. . These 5 senses are 1 – Hearing, 2 – Touch, 3 –
Sight, 4 – Taste and 5 - Smell.
The same elements are with the
universe too.
When they are (elements) naturally balanced, the universe works
in rhythm.
But when it gets imbalanced or we disturb elements as we are doing;
the environmental problem occurs.
Or it gets disturbed and the consequence of
its disturbance feels the whole universe.
And specially the earth which has
living substance like us, plants, and all creatures.
Climate changes, Ozone
problem, Antarctica Ice melting are due to this imbalance.
In about all Ancient Civilization they
talk about these elements.
Ancient civilizations of Greece, Egypt, Babylonia,
Tibet, Japan mentions in their scriptures about these elements.
According to scholar Galen these
elements were used by Hippocrates to describe the human body.
These 4 humours or elements are – Yellow Bilr
(Fire), Black Bile (Earth), Blood (Air), and Phlegm (Water).
