About five star framework
Earth, Water, Fire, Air and
Ether (Space)…These are the 5 elements (Panch
Mahabhoot) of nature. Nature and all living beings are able to lead a harmonious and balanced life when these elements are balanced.
But the world is experiencing huge stress and mounting challenges as all the elements are widely disbalanced. And this is the key reason of stress, emotional issues, poor
health, and unforeseen circumstances in form of climate change. From the smallest atom to a giant whale to the solar
system itself, everything around us is composed of combinations of these
elements.
Human body has these five elements in different proportions – 72% water, 12% earth, 6%
air, 4% fire and the rest is ether.
This is not just ancient
Indian knowledge. Even modern science is backing this. A 2017 study found that incorporating
this theory could lead to a better understanding of the relationship between
cells. A second study, also carried out in 2017, discovered that music
therapy based on the five elements can reduce post-stroke depression when
combined with acupoint needling or injection.
In 2020, researchers
published work based on observational studies of Western medicine, homeopathic
medicine, and TCM. They noted that the Five
Elements theory in the diagnosis and treatment of patients can provide a deeper
and more effective treatment.
