The Five Great Elements
Everything in the cosmos, including the human body, is composed of five fundamental elements: Space (Akasha), Air (Vayu), Fire (Agni), Water (Jala), and Earth (Prithvi).
Space & Air
The forces of movement and expansion. They govern breath, circulation, mental clarity, and the subtle channels of neural flow.
Fire
The power of digestion and metabolism. It rules metabolic pathways, digestive fire (Agni), and the fire of intellect and optical perception.
Water & Earth
The foundations of structure and biological cohesion. They construct the physical body structure, providing stability and hydration.
