Being in the Flow Being connected to your Deepest Potential Using your Resources Wisely Taking time for Stillness and Rest Having Courage to move beyond your comfort zones Commitment Will and Determination Wisdom: both your own and others

Water is the source of all life. When in balance, you are connected to the deepest essence of your being, your deepest potential. It is that unique seed that you contain. When you are living in balance within this element, everything in life seems to flow naturally, as if the current is sweeping you along. You need only the energy necessary to do what is required, no more, no less.

When your Water Element is in balance, you use your resources of energy, time, contacts, and money wisely, neither hoarding nor squandering that which gives you life.  Water is also the Element of stillness and rest, taking time to rest and rejuvenate yourself.   

Like the stillness of Wintertime it is a necessary part of being human; it allows you to create and be in action when the time is right (Water feeds the Wood Element). It is the deep well, which you draw upon when it seems you have nothing left and it is the reserve of your health. Therefore, when you are working too hard, you are depleting your own health.

Water is about having the courage to proceed when confronted with fear and having the willingness to grow to the next level. You also must be completely committed to whatever project lies before you, while remaining true to yourself. When you are committed to your own success, you will find yourself adopting a "No stopping until I succeed" attitude.

When you find yourself failing, with healthy Water, you will get up again. Water is the Element related to wisdom and knowledge. Water allows you to seek out mentors to access their wisdom. You may seek out more learning to increase your own knowledge. With healthy Water, you will find yourself sharing your own wisdom and knowledge.
