Five Elements

"Five Elements Fountain" is an outdoor sculpture installation, a firefall--a water fountain with liquid fuel introduced into the stream which floats on the surface of the water and burns. The water-fire cascades down through a number of hands cast in cement.

In the Five Elements Process™ you ‘charge’ your soul with the energy of each element. Charging purifies the element in you and heals you. Once you are charged with that element, particular symptoms appear which indicate that you are aligned with the energy of the element and can then use it to heal others. All miracles happen through the five elements’ energy. Ultimately, through advanced techniques to command on the five elements, you become a siddha, a supernatural saint.

Just as chemistry and physics use specific technical terms to classify matter, Ayurveda uses the characteristics of the five elements (pancha mahabhutas) to identify various objects. If something is classified as "fire" it does not mean that it is literally a fire. It means that the object displays the characteristics of fire, like combustion, heat and so on. Similarly, if an item is classified as "water" or "earth" it means it is moist, cool and sticky or heavy, solid and stable.

The most common representations today of the five elements, outside of martial arts and fictional references (such as in anime), are found in Buddhist architecture. Many pagodas (仏塔 buttō) in Japan are of the Gojū-no-Tō (五重塔) style, meaning they have five tiers or levels. Each tier, naturally, represents one of the elements, beginning with chi ("earth") at the bottom, and ending with kū ("void" or "sky") at the top. Often, the spire at the top is ... divided into five sections.

The theory of five elements explains how Qi (all the vital substances) cycles through various stages of transformation. As yin and yang continuously adjust to one another and transform into one another in a never-ending dance of harmonization, they tend to do so in a predictable pattern.
