5 Element Meditation: Water Element

We focus on increasing our water element when we want to feel more spiritually connected. The water element meditation is particularly helpful for those who feel a lack of imagination, find their lives too rgid, have trouble being alone, and want to cultivate wisdom, fluidity, or sensuality. Due to the fact that the water element relates to our kidneys and urinary bladder organs, this meditation will also help to strengthen these organs.

Water Meditation:
Sit by the lake or the ocean, or float in a pool or in a bath tub. In this meditation don't follow a rigid structure. Gently become aware of your breathing. Allow your mind to turn inward. Focus loosely on the mystery around you, letting go completely of what should be or having any goals. Let the mind wander. Look at the ripples in the water, watch the clouds passing overhead, or the antics of a seagull. Just sit in the presence of the divine and enjoy the company. Let that take your mind where it needs to go. Have no other goals than that.

Finally, simply sit, receptive to what the water has to teach you. Do not judge. Simply allow whatever thoughts and feelings that come up to do so.

You may meditate for as long as you like, but typically between 20min to an hour is ideal.
