Are You A Water Element Type?
Water Element Types are considered Philosophers and Mystics.
As such they are emotionally deep and don’t care for superficial conversations or relationships.
They are typically quiet and introverted yet have a quiet strength that comes out when needed. Like actual water, they can go with the flow and morph to any type of container, but you can’t hold it in your hands. That exemplifies the mysteriousness of water type. Water element personalities may seem fragile at times, but they are life giving and can be fierce when needed.
Water types can be quite the visionaries because they see the world differently than most. Think about it, all creation begins with water. That’s why most water element types are highly creative, contemplative, introspective and often very intuitive. They are deeply driven to solve the world’s problems yet need others to implement such as a wood element types who are more grounded.
Interestingly, water elements are the rarest of the element types. When out of balance, they can become aloof and withdrawn, hiding deep fears they don’t want others to see. Plus, they can be slow to process decisions and ideas because they are going deep to feel things out to make sure they are safe.
The season of the Water Element is winter when quietness and stillness reign and the water types reflect this by seeking out solitude and tranquility.
The organs associated with the Water type are the kidney and bladder making them prone to urinary tract infections and water metabolism issues leading to swelling and edema. The Water element also governs the bones so Water types can have sore joints and back problems.
Tips To Help Balance The Water Element
Drink lots of water and ensure that you are moving often so that water can hydrate your body and not ‘puddle’ anywhere.
Take time to be out and about and social so as not to become too isolated.
If you feel fear creeping up or if it becomes hard to manage, it would be best to talk to a friend and do some reality checks. Many times, a different perspective can make all the difference.
Nourish yourself with soups and stews to support the Water Element and bring deeply needed warmth and grounding. Seaweed is particularly nourishing for the Water Type and should be included in the diet wherever possible.
