The fire element in astrology represents action, impetus and creativity. In a radiant scope, it symbolizes expansion, warmth, light, courage, the will to fight, to dominate and conquer, but it also favours spiritual elevation, extreme lucidity and purification of the soul. In human beings, it represents the superconscious mind.

Within us there is a sun in miniature, in our solar plexus, which is called “Agni” and which is responsible for our metabolism and digestion. The stronger your Agni, the more balanced your body temperature, your metabolism, and the stronger your digestion power will be. Just like the sun which represents the element Fire and allows life on our planet, Agni also allows us to be alive.

Working with the element of Fire within our body helps us to bring combustion, impulsiveness, initiative, enthusiasm and expressiveness.

People with an abundance of the Fire element tend to be more optimistic, idealistic, dynamic, ardent, passionate, enthusiastic, direct, spontaneous, more inspired, motivated, with the courage to take risks and face challenges. An excess of Fire, for example, can also be harmful to everyone. A person with too much Fire can be ambitious to the extreme, have violent, authoritarian and aggressive impulses. To work Fire within oneself is to balance the energy that influences creativity, new ideas, that triggers adventures, proclaims action and our artistic side.

The Water element in astrology governs emotions, subconscious mind, sensitivity, feelings. Working with this element within the body provides flexibility and nourishment of the substances.

Working this element internally allows people to be more patient, compassionate, empathetic, imaginative, dreamy, emotional and sensitive, to feel more easily something that goes unnoticed by others. People with much evidence of the water element are considered more emotional and sensitive.

Within our body, we are composed of 70% water. In Velaterapia (Candle-cutting) with a focus on Water we will visualize this element flowing throughout the body. Water has the important characteristic of by passing all the obstacles it encounters without any effort. It shapes itself to the circumstances with grace, softness and lightness.

This is a very sensitive element, because it absorbs the vibration of the environment and its mood adapts to it. Water works our emotions, our insecurities, our sensibility.

The air element corresponds to our mental spectrum, intellect, communication and exchange. In human beings, it represents the self-conscious mind. The function of Air is to stimulate reasoning and the exchange of information. Since we all breathe the same air, the element also acts as a social component, that is, of all the elements, it is the only one we are forced to share in a less controlled way. It favours reason and logic much more to the detriment of sensitivity or emotions. Some of its characteristics are transmitting, stirring, mobilising, communicating, oxygenating, stimulating, energising and purifying.

In this element, we will work the imagination, visualizing the whole extension of your skin being caressed by a gentle breeze that envelops your entire body, marking its presence in a gentle and delicate way.

In Air-focused Velaterapia (Candle-cutting) we will focus and observe the law of giving and receiving in action: you receive from the universe prana – vital energy – and return to the universe the same prana filled with your deepest dreams and desires.

To work on this element is to ask yourself what your deepest desires and dreams are and offer them to the universe.
