The Water Element is seen as having the qualities of acceptance, cohesion, and clarity. The calm and peaceful flow around and through experiences gives rise to the power to soothe and purify, to connect with life as we move through it.
Observing a body of Water -- a lake, ocean, river or stream -- or even looking closely at Water in its smaller forms of rain or dew drops, can remind us of the potential within the Water qualities that we find in ourselves.
Over 60% of human weight is the Water within our bodies. It moves through our physiology as blood, sweat, tears, saliva, and all body fluids. Waves of emotions, a sense of joyfulness and peacefulness, as well as comfort and relaxation, are associated with the Water Element. The mind's ability to adapt and sense continuity is considered to be an aspect of Water's influence. Actions that are based in a sense of connection and acceptance are seen to be of this Element.
Higher functioning in the Water Element is said to be exhibited through displays of clarity and wisdom.
The color associated with Water in Tibetan traditions is blue; its symbol is a circle.
Gemstones said to evoke the Water Element are pearl, aquamarine, amethyst, lapis, sodalite, jade, opal, chalcedony, chrysocolla, moonstone, coral, blue tourmaline and blue lace agate.
