Water is free flowing, the embodiment of constant movement. One of conception, and death; the element of emotions that pass through generation after generation. Those heavily influenced by water help with compassion, sense of community, healing and psychic development. Our own bodies are water-based. It's only a matter of connecting internally and intimately.

Water works in conjunction with all other elements to sustain life on earth.
