As my phone slowly replaces an actual camera, you're probably going to be seeing more and more of weird stuff I screenshot on my phone. Like this 7 of diamonds pose. YOU'RE WELCOME.
Every few months I'd set up a camera to check my posture and progress (A lot of times I'd think I was upright and then see the photos and it wouldn't even be close). Anyway, I've included a few for posterity. ;)
1. Air (Yellow) represents mind and thoughts, the ability to think.
2. Water (Blue) represents emotions.
3. Fire (Red) represents will, the ability to direct your thoughts and emotions towards action on the physical plane.
4. Earth (Green) represents all the materials on the physical plane that the three subtle-elements interact with.
5. Space (White), or aether, represent the "5th element" and it is the "background canvas" or "cosmic lattice" that the "material earth" is projected upon.
While I believe that the "five elements" actually related to a funamental truth about the structure of matter at the microcosmic level, I also really like how in alchemy they're used as a metaphor for the ingredients of human experience.
