Aakash Tattva: The Space or Ether Element at Revine Naturopathy
Aakash Tattva, also known as the Ether or Space element, is one of the five fundamental elements in Ayurveda. It is often described as the emptiness or space that exists everywhere. Ether is the subtlest of all elements and serves as the foundation for the others—air, fire, water and earth. In our bodies, Aakash Tattva represents the space between cells, in organs like the lungs, intestines and blood vessels.
Ether is closely linked to sound and the ears are its associated sensory organ. It allows sound to travel, and disturbances in this element can lead to issues like hearing loss or loss of voice. The throat chakra, called Vishuddhi, is connected to the Ether element and affects our ability to communicate and express ourselves. When this chakra is blocked, it can impact how we speak and listen.
The Ether element also influences our imagination and creativity. People with a strong connection to Aakash Tattva often have expansive, dream-like qualities. In Ayurveda, Ether is linked to the bitter taste, which helps cleanse the body and create space for better digestion.
To maintain balance in Aakash Tattva, it’s important to include more sunlight in your day, as light travels through Ether. Listening to calming music or sounds played at certain frequencies, like 528Hz, can also raise your vibration, improve mood, and reduce stress. By harmonizing with the space element, we create balance in our body and mind, supporting overall well-being.
At Revine Naturopathy, we harness the qualities of Aakash Tattva to promote healing by balancing the space element in the body. Through therapies that focus on sound, light and energy, we help ensure overall well-being and inner harmony.
