Meditating with and charging the Five Elements’ mantras found in the palm leaf knowledge is a great place to start or deepen your meditation practice. All of nature is made of the five elements (earth, fire, sky, water, and air), including your body. Wherever you go you are connecting with these elements. When you breathe, you connect to the air. When you bathe, you connect to the water. When you garden or take a walk, you connect to the earth. In ceremony you connect using water and a fire or flame. The elements have special mantras that are a spiritual formula to open a connection and develop the vibration of that element within you. When you develop the power of the five elements in your life and fill your body with their vibrations, then automatically your mind, heart and soul begin to bloom.

Opening the Five Elements channels also balances the Shiva (Divine Father) and Shakti (Divine Mother) energy within you while purifying your soul and connecting you with divine energy increasing your protection and soul capacity.

Modern science is discovering what the ancient sages have known since the beginning of time – meditation is the key to awakening consciousness and unlocking hidden potential. Modern scientific studies reveal that meditation changes the anatomy of the brain and its functions. People who meditate grow larger brains and experience increased gray matter in the brain, the indicator of intelligence and capability. The brains of meditators are larger than non-meditators and have less thinning gray matter as they age.

Meditators are also physiologically younger than their biological age. Studies show meditation changes not only the brain’s physical structure but its functioning in the following ways: increased attention span, sharpened focus and ability to concentrate, increased willpower, better memory, enhanced capability to regulate emotions to create well-adjusted responses, and increased ability to cultivate positive emotions.
