EARTH: The foundation. Every great structure has an even greater foundation. No structure survives long, if at all, without a foundation. Your foundation should be unmoving, strong. The foundation does not push, nor does it pull. The foundation simply is. Your foundation should be unbreakable and unmovable.
WATER: Water flows. Water cannot be stopped. Water is patient. If an obstacle is presented to water, water simply moves around it. Water is soft, and strong. Water always moves to the lowest point possible.
FIRE: Fire is the most volatile. Fire moves quickly. Fire is the great cleanser, cleaning out the old to make way for the new. When fire has moved past the seeds of the new can begin to sprout.
AIR: Air is free. Air has no attachments and flows wherever it pleases. Air is fast and cannot be caught. When you face air you can only feel, if you use your eyes you will never be fast enough.
SPIRIT: Also known as heart, or the soul. Spirit holds this whole bundle together. Spirit is least understood, and the most difficult to understand and utilize. Spirit is something that is not seen, merely felt. Nobody can or will ever uncover tangible evidence that spirit is there, but everybody uses spirit everyday. You feel it when you know somebody is sad. You express it when you are talking to people.
These are the five elements. They exist physically and spiritually in our everyday lives. when they are more in balance with each other we are more happy and successful.
