Ākaśa

The space element is also known as Ether and Ākaśa (in Sanskrit). The space element is what makes everything possible. It makes movement and life possible.

Ākaśa

Everything exists within space and space exists in everything.

Ākaśa Mahabhuta (great element in Sanskrit) is the first and foremost creation of the Supreme. It is the basis of spirituality. An infinite element with no limits. It makes us realize the eternal characteristics of the Divine. This element connects to the Divine and its attributes.

Our journey of cleansing and transcending the 5 elements starts from the earth element; the one with form and ends at the formless; Ākaśa. Connecting to this element brings out the real inner nature of the self. It makes us more aware, peaceful, and complete. This is the element that starts our inner journey and also marks its end. Space is an all-pervading energy. It is said that if all the space from our body is removed, the mass will reduce to fit into the palm of our hand. 

Ākaśa is the element from which sound arises, so the Tanmatra for Ākaśa is Sound. Tanmatras are the subtle elements that are connected to the five senses: sound, touch or form, sight, taste, and smell. 

When the Ākaśa element is in balance in a person, they are spiritual, happy, and carefree, and when an imbalance is present in Ākaśa is when a person becomes close and introverted. They do not have much regard for the feelings of other people. They are filled with stress and anxiety. Their happiness is too short-lived which only comes from materialistic achievements.

The element of Ākaśa brings vastness, openness, and meditativeness. Bring more divine connections and awaken the pure consciousness within you by connecting to the Ākaśa element within you at our Elemental Retreat©!
