Born in Apas

Description

Instead of being tempted to exploit another person or the earth, this Tattva helps us to respect everything around us. This is how we maintain our dignity and attitude, the transformation from exploitation to service.
Apas is a powerful force that carries energy and allows it to flow throughout the body and universe. Water makes up 60% of our bodies and is more obvious in the natural world, showing up as lakes, seas, rivers, and so on.
More subtly, it represents both our conscious and subconscious emotions. A person under the influence of this tattva is more loving, soothing, but the depth of the water also has the ability to make us so “wet” that we lose our resistance.
Apas is associated with the swadhisthana (sacral chakra) and taste.
