Akasha, Space, is one of The Five Elements manifesting in the creation of our body

Akasha (space) offers the space and freedom for each cell and organism to exist. Without space, there is no possibility for communiucation among the cells. Akasa predominates in all spaces and cavities of the body including cranial space, sinus space, joints, pores, tubes, arteries and veins. It is the suble element of sound that gives birth to space.

 Akasha, Space, is one of The Five Elements manifesting in the creation of our body

Akasha offers the space and freedom for each cell and organism to exist. Without space there is no possibility of communication among the cells. Akasha predominates in all spaces and cavities of the body including channels, joints, tunes, pores, arteries and veins. All the open systems in the body, the respiratory and gastrointestinal system are defined spaces created in etheric space, akasha.

Sadhguru speaks about the significance of the Akash element in enhancing one’s ability to perceive the mystical and as an important aspect in one’s spiritual journey. He also talks about how one can enhance the proportion of Akash in one’s body.

To nourish the human being into a greater possibility, it is very important how the water, the air, the earth, the fire and the fifth dimension – which is the largest one, the space or akash – behave.
