The element of Water helps us nurture our playfulness, unlock our creativity and find our flow.
The Water element reminds us to embrace our empathic, sentimental nature and surrender to the ebbs and flows of our emotions. Water also encourages us to dive into our sensuality with pure and clear intention, and invites us to tap into our playful, child-like wonderment.

3 Steps to Connect to Water:
Take a refreshing breath in through your nose, out through your mouth.
Imagine yourself in your favorite body of water.
Repeat the affirmations: I am nurturing. I am adaptable. I am empathetic. I am playful. I am intuitive.

Balancing Your Water Element Through Your Body, Mind, and Energy
Your Water Body needs nourishing, tasty meals with highly conscious portions. Great vegetable choices include beets, carrots, cauliflower, eggplant, and asparagus. Your best fruit choices are apples, apricots, and figs. Grains such as buckwheat and soba noodles will make you feel satisfied. Suggested oils are olive and almond. Spices and herbs like cumin, turmeric, cardamom, nutmeg, fennel, and dill help reduce inflammation. Enjoy hibiscus tea, hot or cold. Go easy on the dairy and remember to make lunch a priority– this should be your biggest meal of the day. Have a light, early dinner. When possible, get regular lymphatic drainage massages.
Your Water Mind needs nourishing activities like painting, dancing, and being in a social circle. Veering from your usual routine will reinvigorate your flow. Travel to a place you’ve never visited. Wake up to the sound of music. Wear clothing that is colorful, light, and flowing.
Your Water Energy needs loving, heart-centered meditations. Water-natured people are generous with an outward flow, resulting in the need for strong, self-care practices. Chakra balancing and restorative practices are fundamental to your wholeness.
