Post No. 666 - Working with the Classical Elements for Health

I read fairly widely, taking what is beneficial and ignoring or discarding the rest - after suitable meditation and/or cautious testing. Some of the reading I have been doing recently is from the Gnostic path.

I've found a few gems there, and want to talk about one of those, but I reject utterly their view that the world (and sex - or consensual non-heteronormative sex) is inherently 'bad', and to be rejected and 'overcome' (my words). I written elsewhere about why I consider physical reality exists, and also about the cycles ('Yugas') of the world, and that I consider such views an outcome of the current Kali Yuga - views that no-one would even contemplate during other Ages. In fact, some of it is just downright uninformed and unspiritual bigotry.

The gem I want to talk about, is the idea of the elements within the body.

This has come up elsewhere, but the material I was reading led to me crystallise some thoughts on that: specifically, using the concept of elements to 'diagnose' and balance one's energetic state.

I first came across this in the teachings of Touch for Health, 30 years ago - but based on the Chinese elements. What I have done now is develop a visualise that, as with the Bow Balance Exercise, can be used as a tool for diagnosis. That tool is a visualisation of a pentagram, with my association of elements that I have developed for each of the arms of the pentagram (that doesn't mean this is right, just that it is convenient, as a result of four decades or so of habit, for me to use - although I've always found people representing Aether at the top), and then ask my Higher Self / BPLF Guides (I don't feel that this is an exercise for Patron Deities, but you may) to show the state of energy by weakening or reducing each arm to show a lack of a particular element, and making the arm brighter or bigger to show when there is an excess of an element.

The pentagram's associations that I use are:
(I would have used yellow for air, but that is too faint to be seen)

You may find another order of the elements works better for you.

I basically direct my attention to each chakra or meridian or major organ/part of the body in turn, visualise the pentagram, ask for it to be adjusted, and then channel the lacking energy to that place. Of course, to do this, one needs to be able to comfortably generate the missing energy. I do that by meditating on the nature of the element, drawing whatever vestiges of that I have within my being, or that I can access via my Higher Self / BPLF Guides or - with permission - my parallels, and channel that to the area. Visualising the colour (and any other sensory associations you have) also helps.

As with the meditation-clearing I do for the world each Sunday, this is a preventative technique. If an energy imbalance has come into physical existence, you will also need to address it from the physical.

[2] Please see here and my post "The Death of Wikipedia" for the reasons I now recommend caution when using Wikipedia. I'm also exploring use of h2g2, although that doesn't appear to be as extensive (h2g2 is intended - rather engagingly - to be the Earth edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy").

My "blogiography" (list of all posts and guide as to how to best use this site) is here, and my glossary/index is here.

I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue (see here and here), and it grew ... See here for my group mind project, here and here for my "Pagans for Peace" project (and join me for a few minutes at some time between 8 and 11 PM on Sunday, wherever you are, to meditate-clear for peace), and here for my bindrune kit-bag. I also strongly recommend learning how to flame, ground and shield, do alternate nostril breathing, work with colour, and see also here and be flexible.

  • neither eloquence nor inarticulateness inherently indicates correctness, but, as words can kill, the right to freedom of speech comes with a DUTY to be as well-informed, objective and balanced as you can be.
  • Gnwmythr's Stropping Strap: Occam's Razor only works if  the simplest solution is actually recognised as being the simplest, rather than the one that best fits one's bigotries being labelled 'simplest'.
  • I mourn the desecration of the term 'Light Worker' by commercial interests, and the warping of the word 'Light' away from 'Clear Light' by the "(Fluffy) White Lighters".
  • Presuming that everyone has, or wants, a smartphone is discriminatory, unspiritual, and downright stupid.
  • Our entire life experience, with all the many wondrous and varied people, places and events in it, is too small a sample for statistical reliability about Life.
  • May the world of commerce and business be recognised to be a servant, not a master, of the lives of people.
  • Being accustomed to interacting via certain rules makes those rules neither right nor universal.
  • Like fire to the physical, emotions to the soul make a good servant, and a bad master.
  • The means shape the end.
  • My favourite action movie of all time is "Gandhi", although I've recently come across "Invictus" and might put that one in to that category. However, I loathe the stereotypical action movie - and, for similar reasons, I loathe many dramas, which are often emotionally violent, more so in some cases than many war films.
  • All of the above - and this blog - could be wrong, or subject to context, perspective, or state of spiritual evolution ...


Human dignity is the inherently cumulative holistic combination of human rights, wellbeing and potential, and all actions or interaction which promote, realise or facilitate same. The converse also applies: whatever degrades, diminishes or robs humans of dignity, is inherently undignified.

The “purpose” of spiritual evolution is not the attainment of “spiritual perfection” - not in the sense of not having to evolve further, at any rate, since there is no such thing. We need to evolve in order to grow - but we can take rest breaks (hopefully well earned :) ) along the way. No, the “purpose” of evolution is, rather, to perfect our ability to learn, and thus grow.

Females, get over 'cute'. Get competent. Get trained. Get capable. Get over 'cute'. And those of you who are called Patty and Debby and Suzy, get over that. Because we use those names to infantalise females – we keep females in their 'little girl' state by the names we use for them. Get over it. If you want to be taken seriously, get serious.

There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.
