Fire is what transforms.  Fire lights us up, keeps us moving and drives us in life, and allows us to see things clearly.   

Fire provides power to the water and weather cycles of nature around and within us. The suns energy fuels us and all living energy on this earth.  From fire we  burns, digest and covert our feelings thoughts and impressions so that we may find knowledge from them them. 

Water allows us to imagine, be creative and form our own reality. It is our will and motivation and contains our ordinary thoughts, emotions and sensation.

Water can characterise change.  It cleanses, nurtures and nourishes us whilst taking away what we no longer need.

The Space in which all matter and energy is contained including the other 4  great elements. Akasha can exist within the mind as mindspace for all thought, mind function and impressions.
