Five Elements Quotes

“Phases in spiritual journey: First you are a fire (Fire to seek the truth). Then you turn into ash (Earth) and become compassionate towards everything like mother Earth. Then ash flows into water. You want to wash away all the darkness inside and outside you. Then water evaporates and becomes air. Your notions about dark and light, good and bad evaporate. Then the trickiest part is to realize the Shunya or nothingness. Air can’t become Shunya. Everything including air is inside Shunya.”
― Shunya

“A cave is formed naturally, by interplay of five elements. Since human beings are nothing but waves of five elements, aren't man-made houses natural too?”

“Fire, Earth, Air, Water -- one or more of these elements may make you restless. You need to spend them properly to find peace. To spend fire, burn outdated structures, taboos and so on.

“You are a miracle of consciousness, a heart beating in your beautiful body, enabling you to perceive and receive this stream of sensory information with appreciation and awe. You, too, are pulsing with energy, activated by the very same Elements animating the stars.

― Sagel Urlacher, Yin Yoga & Meditation

― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

“Element cleansing happens naturally when the body is connected with nature. When people are divorced from nature, particularly in high-rise buildings with climate-controlled artificial environments, they lose touch with their bodies. As a result, they become weak and prone to many illnesses and afflictions.”
― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

“Most people do not put much effort into maintaining their bodies properly, but the body is the easiest and most elemental aspect of life to manage and master. Mastery of the physical elements leads to mastery of the mental and energetic elements.”
― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction
