So many scholars and periods of time people ask the question about nature and the elements. We know already elements are the main structure, that build the nature, and our body. Nothing in universe is by chance, nothing is wasted, the elements are combined in strong union, they transform from one to another, make connections, but always exist.
Here I want to devote some time and thoughts on water element. To see what is water, what are it`s connections in the visible world, in human body and in energies.
Water ::
Not by chance I start with water, as it`s the basic element, which has special functions in existence. Since the mind of Greek philosophers as Aristotle and Plato was so occupied with the natural elements, many of their works are connected with them. In esoteric texts water is always connected with: feelings, emotions, feminine, fertility, intuition, subconsciousness, love.
some symbols associations with water:
season: winter
quality: cold, wet
direction: west
influence: intuition
sign Tarot: cup
angel: Gabriel
skills: meditation
elemental: Ondines/ Nymphs
Flowers: water lily, lotus, all flowers with blue and violet color.
Fruits: water fruits are all with blue and violet color like: grapes, blueberries, blue currants, blackberries, figs, plums, raisins. For balancing and good flow of energy eat this fruits in the early evening time.They are very helpful for people with high blood pressure and aggressive temperament, to slow their emotions.
Vegetables: mostly eggplant, purple cabbage/ and any cabbage, asparagus, blue and purple tomatoes, peppers.
The time of water is the time when the mind is asleep and dreams create visions in humans mind, time of night.
{00.00 - 06.00am}
The other natural elements build from water are: rain, lakes, rivers, sea, ocean, waterfall, dam. All kind of sea creatures and fishes also contain this element.
Colors of water are: green, blue, violet, white.
The chakras, connected directly to water energy and flow are: vishudhi (the throat chakra, responsible for right speech, truth, social power, understanding) and Ajna (responsible for imagination, self-viewing, self-respect, intuition, visualization, inner harmony)
These aspects of vishudhi and ajna are both connected with water element - from 2 sides: to outside, and inside. They are balance between others and me, associated with moving waters: (vishudhi) sea, ocean, river, waterfall, and still water (ajna) lake, dam, lagoon.
Aspect of meditation and quiet mind is obvious in both, we need purify our inner self and invoke better connections with surrounding and others. The rain and all water around is moving force, giving us energy and higher mind, and making us sensitive for the world. Rain is cleansing the earth, in the same way as the shower washes the body, the water we drink removes all negative and "red" energies from our organs. Take care of water inside you, that`s the element of purity and healing. Without water you wont feel any balance.
Meditation water 1:
Sit in quiet place, in the nature, next to river, waterfall or moving water. Look to the water for a while, breath deeply and let your thoughts of any worries flow away. Close your eyes and concentrate on your breath. Imagine yourself in a blue dress from tulle, waving slowly on the wind. imagine you are in a water ball from pure blue water, surrounding you, as you slowly float in the air, then make this water another shape in your mind, in oval, heart and any shape you want. Return again to sphere form, return to the ground slowly and make the water ball around to burst on you in fountain of pure energy, giving you freedom.
Many meditations could help you to have influence on others, to have perfect speech and be completely calm. You should meditate on your throat and third eye chakrs, until you reach the higher result.
Some signs of water, which you can use in every day practice are water shells, crystals, any glass figures and cups. Make the cleaning of your home with water, on which you make special prayer with Archangel Gabriel.

Prayer to Archangel Gabriel:
Gabriel, I thank God for making you a powerful messenger to deliver divine messages. Please help me hear what God has to say to me, so I can follow his guidance and fulfill his purposes in my life. Clear away confusion and give me the wisdom I need to make good decisions and the confidence I need to act on those decisions. Teach me how to communicate effectively to other people when I have something important to say to them, and to listen well when other people have something important to say to me. Amen.
If you feel joy from looking to water, take a little fountain at home, or a simple glass bowl with water and some shells, but you should change the water frequently.
