Vedic
Astrological remedies are based on the same principles as Ayurveda, its
sister science. According to Vedic Astrology and Ayurveda we are made
of 5 elements. Each planet rules an element. When that planet is harmed the
corresponding elemental properties will also be harmed. As each element
relates to one of the senses, we can strengthen that planet / element by
healing it through its corresponding sense. Actually we must heal all of the
senses as even strong planets have a lower function that is operating
through karma, and thus, illusion and limitation.
This
chart shows how the 5 elements relate to our embodied life, our senses and
the therapies we use to heal them.
Notice
how the 5 elements progress to a more and more subtle
expression.
Mantras
are the greatest remedy as they heal our Consciousness first as they
purify the element of space. All that we feel and express through
mind and body originate in pure consciousness. When we heal
consciousness we heal ourselves.
