The Five Elements

The Five Natural Elements

Streamed live on March 14, 2015

According to the Tibetan Bön teachings of soul retrieval, when certain elemental qualities become lost to us, we lose parts of our soul. When we are able to retrieve those qualities — when the essences of the five natural elements of earth, water, fire, air and space come into balance within us—our soul is restored to health.

In the teaching session of this recorded webcast, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche discusses the five elements, their characteristic qualities, and signs of balance and imbalance; and explains the outer, inner, and sacred elements and how they can influence us physically, energetically, mentally, and spiritually.

Rinpoche then gives suggestions for practicing in the weeks and months to come; guides a simple meditation practice for connecting deeply with each of the elemental qualities; and answers students' questions.
