Through the element of water we feel love. Water provides the nurturing presence of spirit in our soul-bodies. Bringing luscious fullness to form, water is the juice of life; without it, earth and fire always create a desert-experience. As soon as earth is united with water, the moist clay becomes a medium for abundant new life. We are born in water, and all creative birth processes involve a dominance of the water element. Water requires a form, a vessel or womb in which its cleansing, restorative potential can move. Without containment, water becomes a tidal wave of emotion, feeling without direction. Whenever we feel ‘tight and right,’ caught in controlling rigidity and out of touch with our pleasure and joy, we need to return to water. Its movement through our emotions, bodies, and minds has a natural purifying and rejuvenating influence, bringing balance and fullness to our experience of life.
