HOW TO STRENGTHEN & BALANCE THE ENERGY OF FIVE ELEMENTS?PART-02... THE VASTU OF SELF REALIZATION

BALANCE OF FIVE ELEMENTS;- 11 FACTS;- 1-The person who masters the Panchtattva or the Five Basic Elements of Nature is called a Tattva Darshee. He, who learns all about the Panchtattvais always worshipped. In one of the epics of Tantra, it has been said that the person who acquires knowledge of the Tattvas or the Swaras, the Planets & Stars do not affect them at all. 2-They should be kept balanced in a Built-up Space or Building. For example, the Earth element, when balanced in a building brings stability, solidity, maturity & confidence, but when it is imbalanced, the person becomes very lethargic & insecure in life. 3-Thus, all the Five Elements of the Panchtattva, such as the Earth, Air, Wood, Water & Fire affect our lives positively or negatively, when they are balanced or imbalanced in the building in which we live.When it comes to bringing harmony into your life it’s important to know how to balance Five Elements. 4--Five Elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water — bring balance and harmony into your life in almost limitless ways.For example, have you ever had acupuncture treatments or your practitioner speak of meridians or harmonizing the networks in your body. In much the same way you can use the Five Elements to enhance your life, when you learn how they work together in your space to create balance and harmony. 5-The Five Elements work together in three distinct ways, the Creative, Controlling, and Draining (or Reducing) cycles.In the Creative Cycle, clockwise each element nourishes, or creates, the next one in the cycle: A-Water nourishes Wood. B-Wood feeds Fire. C-Fire, when it turns to ash, creates Earth. D-Earth, as it condenses over time, turns to Metal. E- Metal enhances the life-giving properties of Water. 6- We can use these elemental relationships to balance our life . Let’s take a closer look at the nourishing relationship between Wood and Water.Say you wish to dedicate your Intention to personal growth. First you would enhance your space with the appropriate element for this Intention — Wood . 5-To reinforce this Intention, nourish the Wood with Water to instantly enhance, strengthen and fortify its power.Each element has the same type of creative relationship with the one next to it . 6-How to use the Controlling Cycle to bring an over-used element under control. In the Creative Cycle, each element feeds into, or creates, the next element in the cycle.Here we look at how each element Controls another element A-Wood controls Earth — by breaking it up as roots take hold and break through the surface. B-Earth controls Water — by damming it, keeping it between its banks, and muddying it. C-Water controls Fire by Extinguishing it. D-Fire controls Metal — by melting it. E-Metal controls Wood — by cutting it with its sharp edges. 7- For example,if you live or work in a space that’s “very Metal,” for instance: white walls, metal furnishings, spherical shapes.This environment can be brought into balance by adding the warmth of Fire: reds and/or animal prints, warm lighting and pointed shapes. Or maybe your environment is too Wood-y: shades of green, lots of plants, wooden furniture, vertical columns or artwork. Cut back the forest by bringing in the Metal element. 8-When you look around your space, does it seem as if the Five Elements are in balance? How do you think you might “control” them? One more way to bring balance into your life is by employing the Draining (or Reducing) Cycle of the Five Elements. This cycle flows in the opposite direction of the Creative Cycle as each element “drains” the element that precedes it.The Draining Cycle — also known as the Reducing cycle . 9-Five Elements-draining-cycle works,as: A-Wood drains Water -> B-Fire consumes Wood -> C-Earth absorbs Fire -> D-Metal consumes Earth -> E-Water depletes Metal -> and back to the beginning. 10-This elemental cycle calms things down, in contrast to the Controlling cycle in which each element completely overcomes another. 11-The kitchen provides a perfect example of how to use the Draining Cycle because it’s often over-burdened with the Fire element — hot stove and oven, red utensils, pointed knives etc.. The element that drains Fire energy is Earth: as a fire burns, the earth absorbs the ashes it creates, draining Fire of its energy and calming it down. If your kitchen feels overheated, use the Earth element to balance it with a calmer feeling: ceramic tiles, square shapes, earthy colors like yellow and sand. These are easy things to add to a kitchen .

For animals, it’s when they become older and start to slow down – they are slightly beyond their peak. 3-Autumn is the energy of Metal, the time when nature rids itself of what is not needed when nature sheds its leaves and lets go of the rubbish it no longer needs.

It is easy to form into various shapes, a good conductor of heat, and generally resistant to corrosion from salt water. 3-Because of these properties, brass is used to make pipes and tubes etc.alloy of copper and zinc, of historical and enduring importance because of its hardness and workability. The earliest brass, called calamine brass, dates to Neolithic times; it was probably made by reduction of mixtures of zinc ores and copper ores. 4-In ancient documents, such as the Bible, the term brass is often used to denote bronze, the alloy of copper with.

The sizes of the wire used for corrective purpose are 3, 4 & 5 mm dia. 3-Copper plates are used extensively in making astrological yantras. For Vaastu correction plane plate with approximately size of 1”*1” can be used. This type of plate is used near the drains of the toilets and on the sharp edges features like protuting columns Etc. 4-Placing pyramids made with copper in the corners of the house can remove fatigue and low esteem. 5-Copper is a known anti oxidant and anti carcinogenic agent which helps in slowing down the ageing process by preventing cell damage.
