We all want to flow more easily through life, with grace and ease. Did you know that flow in Tibetan Buddhism is associated with the water element?
In this talk, I'll explain the basic qualities of the water element in Tibetan Buddhism (ease, flow, and emotional connection), what happens when this element is imbalanced, and how we can balance our water in daily life and meditation practice.
Just like the other elements (earth, fire, air, and space), water has a wisdom that can support our meditation practice. Because water represents the qualities of flow and comfort, it can help us settle joyfully into life and meditation practice.
Water is also associated with heart-opening meditation practices like loving-kindness or compassion meditations, or with opening to the blessings of our practice lineage. When we meditate with the water element, we can become more aware of when we are holding back from true connection and when we feel integrated with the rest of our world.
