METAL ELEMENT

Metal is the elemental salt of the earth, the crystalline clarity of a jewel, the long-lasting richness of life, it contains our gift that we can offer to the world, our inner treasures, the permanence of beauty. The metal element is about astonishment, amazement, appreciation, it is the connection with the Father, with heaven.

Dianne M. Connelly

It is said that the first breath contains the spirit of heaven. Through the breath we are in exchange with the universe. Our vital impulse and the rhythmic order of breathing are determined by the energies of the Metal Element and help us to structure our reality through their even rhythm.

Thus the first and the last breath determine the limitation of earthly existence. Breathing brings things into the right order and keeps them in it. We know that life is a precious gift and gain the ability to form strong yet flexible belief systems to support and align our lives. This creates harmony between our inner and outer world.
