\"TheUnderstanding the 5 elements of Ayurveda is just as crucial as knowing things like our chakras, doshas, etc. The elements are yet another critical piece to the intricacies of Ayurveda and living a lifestyle in tune with nature.

\"The<\/a>Elements of Ayurveda: Ether<\/span><\/h2>\n

This element is the first element in Ayurveda and is referred to as \u201cakasha\u201d in Sanskrit. Ether is nothing and everything simultaneously; it makes all movement and life possible yet is the epitome of emptiness. Ether is also known as the space element and is the most subtle of them all. It exists in the space our lungs fill with air, our stomachs when we\u2019re hungry, our sinus cavities, etc. Ether is subtle, light, and clear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chakra connection: Throat Chakra<\/span><\/h3>\n

The space element is directly associated with the throat chakra. The throat chakra is responsible for our ability to speak and be heard, but also for listening to others. Just as ether is empty, yet encompasses all, our throats are empty but can become filled with our words.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
