Elemental Reflections

To the practitioner of Buddhist Tantra, its symbolic psychology has a dynamic connection to lived experience. The system of elements and their subtle psychological/emotional counterparts enables Tantric practitioners to see in the phenomenal world symbolic reflections of their own emotional patterns, and to use these reflections directly as the path to liberation. Embracing emotions as the path in meditation gives us the option of ‘staring into the face of arising emotions in order to realise their empty nature.’ We experience mind, free of conceptual activity, yet imbued with pure and total presence.
