The 5 Tattvas: What You’re Really Made Of

In yogic and ta***ic traditions, everything—including you—is made up of 5 essential elements, known as the Panch Tattvas.

1. Prithvi (Earth) – Stability, structure, grounding.

Practice: Walk barefoot on the earth. Practice stillness. Do muladhara (root chakra) meditations. Eat nourishing, grounding foods.

2. Apas (Water) – Flow, emotion, adaptability.

Practice: Spend time near water. Practice fluid movement (like gentle yoga or dance). Journal emotions to release stagnation. Work with svadhisthana (sacral chakra).

3. Tejas (Fire) – Transformation, willpower, inner heat.

Practice: Breath of Fire (Kapalabhati), sun salutations, candle gazing (Trataka). Channel anger into focused action. Connect with manipura (solar plexus).

4. Vayu (Air) – Movement, breath, freedom.

Practice: Pranayama (especially Anulom Vilom or Nadi Shodhana). Practice letting go. Meditate on the heart chakra (anahata) and cultivate compassion.

5. Akasha (Ether/Space) – Consciousness, vastness, presence.

Practice: Silent meditation. Chant mantras. Practice deep listening. Sit under the night sky. Tune into the vibrations of your own being. This is the gateway to spirit.

Balancing the tattvas brings harmony to body, mind, and soul. When one dominates or is lacking, we feel off-center. But when they’re aligned—we awaken.

Which element are you most connected to right now? Which one do you need more of?

Reiki can look complicated when you study it from every angle.

There are hand positions, grounding exercises, getting into the right mental state, and symbols people memorise. I’ve meditated on Reiki as a whole, and the deeper I go, the simpler it feels.

Touch. Attention. A willingness to care.
I feel it can be a way of life and not just a healing method.

That’s thereiki.life to me.

🌿 Ancient Power, Modern Peace 🌿

Reiki was brought to the West by Hawayo Takata, a woman who believed healing should be simple, intuitive, and open to all. In her words, Reiki is "the secret art of inviting happiness" It is a gentle yet powerful way to reconnect with the energy that animates all life.
