地 Chi meaning “Earth”: The most basic example of chi is in a stone. Stones are highly resistant to movement or change, as is anything heavily influenced by chi. Emotionally, chi is predominantly associated with stubbornness, stability, physicality, and gravity. In the mind, it is confidence; and emotionally it is a desire to have things remain as they are; a resistance to change.

水 Sui or mizu, meaning “Water”: Outside of the obvious example of rivers and the like, plants are also categorized under sui, as they adapt to their environment, growing and changing according to the direction of the sun and the changing seasons. Sui can be associated with emotion, defensiveness, adaptability, flexibility, suppleness, and magnetism.

火 Ka or hi, meaning “Fire”, represents the energetic, forceful, moving things in the world. Bodily, ka represents our metabolism and body heat, and in the mental and emotional realms, it represents drive and passion. ka can be associated with motivation, desire, intention, and an outgoing spirit.

風 Fū or kaze, meaning “Wind”, represents things that grow, expand, and enjoy freedom of movement. As we grow physically, we learn and expand mentally as well, in terms of our knowledge, our experiences, and our personalities. Fū represents breathing, and the internal processes associated with respiration. Mentally and emotionally, it represents an “open-minded” attitude and carefree feeling. It can be associated with will, elusiveness, evasiveness, benevolence, compassion, and wisdom.

空 Kū or sora, most often translated as “Void”, but also meaning “sky” or “Heaven”: Bodily, kū represents spirit, thought, and creative energy. It represents our ability to think and to communicate, as well as our creativity. It can also be associated with power, creativity, spontaneity, and inventiveness. ♥
