Let’s contemplate the panchamahabhutas, the five great elements. These are described by the sages of India as that which compose our very being, along with consciousness and life force.
Understanding their interplay is key to health.
We’ll see how the elements form our bodies, relate to our mind & senses, and align with the chakras, the energy centers of each human being.
Please join us as we ponder the holistic vision of the great science of life.
All are welcome.
