Water Bending

Post # 1
So Im new to Magic and I think I am a 'Water' Element, and I want to get into water bending. I've always lived water and so I want to try be one with it.

Does anyone have any tips or spells that could help? And what do people mean when they say 'meditate with the elemnts?' Or something like that.

Water bending? You can be one with the water without "bending" it. I have no idea how old you are, but let me be the one to tell you that this is not the cartoon Avatar and water bending, at least to my knowledge, does not exist.

I agree that this is not Avatar. Maybe Isolette thinks you can control elements like in Avatar. Maybe not. I can't say. But I can say that bending is possible. To bend an element is to control it to do your will. To do so is to manipulate it. I'm not saying the Avatar stuff is possible. I'm just saying that people can have some control over elements in way way or another and with this manipulation it can be called "bendind" the elements.

oh i love avatar, personally i'm torn between water bending and earth bending, then again i'm a water/earth element. in all seriousness though, it's not possible. what you can do is sit near a body of water and meditate, try and focus on the water, visualize the element, learn about all it's positive and negative attributes. at time goes on, you will feel closer with the element, and feel comfortable working with it, but you cannot do a tai chi move and expect a water whip to appear.

i've always felt close with water, so it's hard for me to tell you everything you must do in order to feel one with your element, but it's a spiritual journey, not a bending thing.

Yet you can still connect your personal energies with that of the element. For example: connect your energy to an open flame. You can make it rise, fall, sway one way or the other, get brighter, go out. This is still manupulation. Which as I explained bendind is manipulation. Just another way to say it. But it's shows like avatar that warp the idea slog true element manipulation/bending. The type that can actually be done. And this is why some people think what they see in a cartoon can be done and others recognize the warped idea but say the entire practice is bogus. Including what actually can be done.

Some use Tai Chi to use the water's energy, so I guess that's kind of like water bending, is that what you mean?

@ Nidawi, in Avatar, each tribe uses a different form of martial arts to control the element they were born under, and Water is Tai Chi.

@ Isolette, personally, i suggest looking into Tai Chi or Yoga for health reasons first and a form of meditation and spirituality second. perhaps tai chi on the shore will help you connect with your element, or try hot yoga, it would work with fire though, but to me, steam is a 50/50 thing [water/fire]

ok, people do research before you say something rude to isolette. bending is possible, mabye not the exact way "avatar" makes it out to be but you can controll each element to a ceartian extent. i would know because i have done it for years. i dont care how crazy it sounds. if you actually want to learn to bend send me a mesage

Please provide us with a resource to "research" then. Every such source I have found has been rooted in fanfiction rather than any sort of fact.
