is it possible to heal yourself and others using the elements of the earth as one.
and if it is have you ever tried it? How many elements are there? are there only 5? fire,earth,water,wind,spirit. can you use it to regain power after being weakend from a spell? is it posssible to use the elsements to help heal others no charms no herbs just focus?
rebuild yourself usuing the natural elements.

Please do not go off topic. thanks

I haven't tried it my self but I know it can help... A friend of mine is my mentor with my training as a witch and it has been a very enlightening experience... anyway... there are only 5 that I know of... he hasn't told me otherwise... as for regaining health, so to speak, all you'd be doing is drawing on nature's energy to boost your own... the thing is if I understand correctly, you have to give something back... I hope this helps you in some way...

Sure is, The sun for one can help in gaining much needed energy and the ocean is a big help in healing your chi.

Elemental energy, earth, air, fire, and water are essential in healing the body and the spirit. This is especially true of shamans magick which call upon the natural forces of nature.

i believe its possible to heal using the elements. i typically only use the fire element because i find that it works the best for me, but by focusing your energy it is definitely possible.

How would someone go about using these elements to heal yourself.

elements are healing ,and focus is also healing as well

i think only water could be used as a healing element.

I myself being what many term as an elemental (Able to use, draw from, manipulte, etc, any and all elements) I can use them and have to very benificial experiences. Water particularly is a strong healing element. But it varies from person to person. A person who's guiding element is fire is healed better with fire than with earth and vise-versa... Make sense? In my studies I have more as to concentrated on healing and have read of and used healing poitions, spells, rituals based on every element. I personaly find fire to heal me physicaly, air better to heal me mentaly, earth better to heal me emotionaly, and water helps in all of these aspects. As for what elements are there... there is usualy five but can be seven. The original five being of course earth, water, fire, air, and spirit, but also light and shadow/darkness make six and seven.

thank u xXxSlaveAngelxXx for your help :) and thank u Lukumi for the site it did help a great deal ::hugs::

RainbowPrincess why is only water good for healing? why not all the elements b/c they creat balance I guess and how is spirit an element? yeah i'm cuck full of questions on this convo I know. anyways thanx to those who commented :)

you always have to ask before u heal any one or something, . The person and the goddess,.

Most call on certain of the elements and the mother goddess when doing spells or protection. All the elements come into play one time or another depending on what is wished to be accomplished.

Herbs, and such come from the earth, the sun - in moderation - helps with growing of things and for getting out of the doldrums many experience during the winter months.

Drinking water is pretty important to a healthy recovery from sickness, not to mention lifestyle. So, considering that's an element, um... yes. You can heal using an element.

the way i use them is by raising energy and focusing on that element (typically fire) and feel it fill me up inside, then i force it out to the person i wish to heal (with permission of course). i find that all the elements can be used too, but because of my personality, fire is the best. i does vary. AND WATER ISNT THE ONLY HEALING ELEMENT. lol

I find that standing in moving water can be a very healing experience.

But that other elements can be used for healing as well.

I find that earth energy works best for me in healing especially if I am in direct contact with the Earth. Other energies from the remaining four elements can be used in healing and other praticianers use the element that they are most aligned with in their works.

There are just 5 elements and they in combination can help you to regain energy when you feel a bit drained... not only when you have stopped a bad spell against you ... but also when you have made some protection spells... sometimes i feel a bit drained and what i do is going outside and taking off my shoes, i just stand on the ground... or hold a tree...
if i dont want to go out side i can fill in my bathtub and take a bath with salt...
that´s what ive tried... so far...

If you're casting spells using the elemental energy around you, there should be no personal drain. Part of producing magick is by learning how to use and harness the energy around you. Using only your personal energy can leave you open to all sorts of harrassment. I call on the elements to cast my circle thereby protecting myself and my work while itside it's "shield" So yes, I use the elements to heal, I harness their energy and send it forth.

On a basic and very natural level, without the use of spells or potions....yes healing can certainly be done.

When our spirits are low, just getting out into an area of natural beauty can uplift us.

The old saying...going out for a breath of fresh air can also work wonders.

By taking these simple remedies many believe a more serious physical illness can be thwarted.

I believe that it is possible to use the elements to heal, especially through visualization, meditation, and journeying. Shamans use the elements to bring healing to others for various ailments with these methods. For example, you can draw the energy of trees for healing, replenishing your energy, or grounding. Water can be used, along with certain types of herbs, to cleanse your subtle body and aura, which is very healing. The possibilities are endless.

Yes it is possible for both ... I have done it for myself as well as others. In oriental beliefs they also use wood and metal along with fire, earth and water. Here is a link if you want to check it out http://www.biom.net/5_element_theory.htm

I don't think so. I don't think any of the elements if they're able, would be willing to help out anything human.

The Aboringals here in Aust used all those a healing product as well as native shrubs trees leaves etc. I bet so did you native Indains somewhere in the past.

I use water spells mostly. Depends on the healing need. If a cold I have used either and it works..
I use fire spells too but that is more for serious issues.

Mist magick
Mist magick is a source of ease and maintaining a mood. It is also good for cleansing and protecting. I use these recipes for the full affect of house cleansing or cleansing the aura. When house cleansing remember to fill it back with love and happiness. For you are taking away negativity and you must replace it with something for it may come back. Replacing it with joy and love is the best way to go.

Spray bottle needed

Banishing water
Rose water, holy water and saint Claire water.
Pour equal parts and use when you need to refresh the house or aura.

Healing water for colds to negative moods
Jasmine water, rose water, and sage
Pour equal parts and use it when you need to cleanse aura or healing.

We do use the elements of the Earth to create medicine!

i am not much of a healer so i dont know i usually blow thing up

"i am not much of a healer so i dont know i usually blow thing up"

What does that mean please?

Does anyone understand what I am getting at? We've been using the Earth's plantlife since the beginning of time to heal us... we use it in modern medicine, and combine these elements to form vaccinations. Why is this seemingly some New Age deal now? It's very mainstream, and factual.

as a follower of reiki i know it is possible to heal useing the elements,but you have to remember to draw energy in as you are releasing or else you will use your own energy,and trust me it can take a long time to recharge

For those of you who are healers, do you find that training such as Reiki is helpful, necessary or can you find your way on your own?

of course you can find your own path,reiki just taechs you how to draw and focus,i has born with my gift for distance healing,reiki has taught me how to harness my energy

everyone has the power to heal,they just dont relize it,or know how to draw on it

of course you can, what do you think people healed with before the industrial age and pharacuticals

I think you have a point Lagniappe. Most medicines today are based on some type of plant extract or mineral.

10241024, as a Reiki Master, I have actually used the training and have tweaked it to suit me.

I beleive that the elements can help heal the body and the spirt. You just need to know how to use the elements.

Natural elements like magnetic fields are supposed to be beneficial to health. Perhaps it is worth a little research :)

yes those are the five elements. I do believe that using these elements you can heal certain things. I mostly use earth and the sun. There is so much in the element of earth that can help heal.

Copper for one, has been used for a very long time to heal...this is one mineral the Earth is rich in :)

You can use the elements to heal, I've helped and seen people use them. For fire though idk how you would use that.

The (-) pole of a magnet has healing effects...but the (+) pole can actually be damaging. Check out this website for more info..

You sure can! There is energy all around us, in everything. In Reiki, we draw this energy in and channel it to the one needing to be healed. This could be us, whoever. They say you can even send it to cars, put it on clothes for when people wear it. Possibilities are endless, just like the universal energy.

I have just learned to use not all but part of the energies to heal but i can say that even with useing a few of the elements it is a powerful thing and very energizing went it done the right way

I do believe in using the elements for healing. Whenever I am sick or my children are sick I always get them to sit outside for a few hours out of the wind but in full sunlight. I find it speeds up their own healing by strengthening their immunity.

Also strangely enough as long as I don't look directly into the sun and have sunglasses on, the warmth of the sun relaxes my mind enough to help heal migraines.

So I use the sunlight alot to help heal my body and environment.

Water is also another good medium!

And then of course you have the eternal spirit. When you tap into your spirit to heal you wonders can happen.

I think it all boils down to the power of belief and the elements you are most drawn too.

I think that we all do some healing in different forms. The ocean is really good for aches and pains. It can also be used for cleansing wounds. We use plants everyday to obtain the medicines that are given to us by doctors. But on an herbal stand point the earth is one of the majors in healing. The sun is really good when you just want to relax and regain your lost energy.

Of course the Elements are used for healing. There are just so Many ways to do so.

Water, as already stated relaxtion, soreness of bones, refreshing, healing wounds and aliments , renewal, I mean, when someone is baptized they are dipped or bathed in water , water is a life force, we vsn not survive with it. When we are thirsty it quenches our thirst, when we are injured it cleanses our wounds.

Fire, it warms us when we are cold , it heals or aches and pains ( hot rocks ) saunas , used to light candles and fires . People that suffer from depression the element of fire is best for them.
.

I have not tried it but yes, I think it is possible to to heal yourself using the elements. I have only heard of there being 5 elements. ANd i do think it would be possible to rebuild yourself using the elements.

Yes it is possible. Think of it this way if you are in a winter tundra and develop frost bite. The only way to get it under control and bring your body temperature back up is with heat. Fire or another persons body heat, warm to hot water can be used as well.
A mud bath is actually very refreshing to a tired and warey(sp) body.

I put more faith in the elements, then I would doctors.

Personally I like the mud baths, as they really seem to help one unwind. Specially in a really stressfull time. The sun is also good for stress reliever as well.

Sunlight and fresh air has always been a big help. lol.. I don't know.. I'd rather not take some pill to make me better if I can help it.

I have often found that water is a great healer of all. When I am sick I find that being close to water sources or even just soaking in the bath tub full of warm water seems to help with the healing process, ( of course I have to add other elements to my bath water) but yes the elements can heal if we understand how to tap into them.

There are 92 naturally occurring elements, e.g. produced by stars and supernovae. The last one being uranium. There are 11 additional "man made" elements produced in nuclear reactors and particle accelerators. For a total of 113 known elements.

There are 4 states of matter: Solid, liquid, gas, and plasma - e.g. the "elements" of the ancient alchemists. (Which is in reality simply a quantum state of the levels of phononic activity really)

The biological life forms on this planet (99% of them anyway) are made up of primarily Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Sulfur with trace quantities of certain metallic elements such as, iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, etc.

However - per your request to stay on topic and since I believe you are looking for an esoteric metaphysical answer to the healing question within the preordained confines of the 4 states of matter and a 5th of spirit...than the answer is one. Spirit.

Ask any nurse...

By the tranferance or absorption of the lacking elemental energy in the body to reestablish an equilibrium often in some manners my people have used for healing. In another manner, the use of fire energy to cleanse and water energy to sooth pain and such was a wide practice. The use of energy in such ways to maintain and or stabalise the body is indeed widely used, as well as colour healing becuase of each colour has a drastic effect on ones energy and mind in an entirety.

yes you can heal with the elements if you know the right spells and things to say . every living thing has a spirit or life force and if you know how you can harness its power .

Katherine, Yest water has always been known as a healer great point. Just as the udd from the earth has healing properties. There ae just so many possabilities .

Swami Kaleshwar teaches and proves his abilities using the 5 elements.

The one that stands out in my mind are the herbs and metals that come from the Earth. Many medicines are made using these and you can find them on your grocery store shelf.

well if you were to take the time to break down todays ways of medicines you wold see that they eventually break down to an element

Yep, the sun is a good source of vitamin D and other things we need.

the water (ocean, lakes) gives off negative ions which are healthy for us as well.
