Whatever is liquid, whatever flows and has a particular density, whatever has the particular property of evaporation, condensation into vapor and conversion into a liquid again-all is considered water. You just observe all the properties of water; anything else which has a property of water
and its attribute (color, nature, and so on) is considered as water. So, it is clear that whatever flows is water. From that, it must be derived that all that flows, even if it is a thought, emotion, or feeling; whether it floats or flows, they all come from and constitute the water element. It is the all-pervasive water manifestation -physical as well as the non-physical.
Ancient Indian metaphysics states that water has earth in it; actually, the weight or heaviness is earth in water. When water evaporates, it becomes air. When the surface tension of these vapors is released, it turns into fire which comes from the sky (in the form of lightning); As it goes into space and merges with it, it gains an association with space as well.
So, the interrelationship is clearly perceivable; each element has some properties of other elements. No element is complete in itself, pristine element by itself in nature.
Every element has properties of other elements, whereby, it can manifest and exist interdependently. The moment we meditate on one element, we begin receiving information about that element, about its attributes, and about the presence of other elements within that element. The seed mantra for meditating on the Water element is VAM.
Water element linked to the senses of taste, touch, sight & hearing. It is quantitatively the largest of 5 elements. As more than 80% of our body and 75% of the earth’s surface is water. Most ancient civilizations come up with reverse to water elements. This element is represented by rain, river, sea and this is the only element existed in all the three forms i.e. liquid, solid, gas. It is the combination of Hydrogen & Oxygen in a ratio of 2:1.perfectly neutral in reaction. In every plant and life on the earth, water exists in a certain proportion.
Vastu gives significant knowledge about the position of water assets like, well, boring, underground water tank and overhead water tank while arranging the house.
Position for drainage of water, septic tank, sewage etc. is carefully decided to maximize the benefit of water element. NorthEast zone in a house is attributed.
Now we proceed to the color and shape of water. In Vastu we take Water as White color. Shiv Swarodaya – the Greatest text on Swar Yog tells us in its Shloka number 155 – Water is white; the earth is yellow; fire is red; the air is cloud blue; ether is of mixed colors.
The shape of the Water element is like a half-moon. The Moon is also associated strongly with the water element.
Nature
Water has the tendency of flowing, thereby having cleansing abilities. It represents clarity, flow, generation, and continuity. Likewise, it is related to the origination of new thoughts, clearness of ideas and production of new vision, streaming of new opportunities in one’s life, mending vitality, immunity, and native being in healthy condition.
Balanced state
If water is in a balanced state in a building, the inhabitants can see the bigger image of life. Though their attitude towards life becomes devotional towards GOD and analytical, they are, at the core, essentially worldly beings. They have better immunity and they are able to cope well with life situations. Such people create opportunities for themselves.
Imbalanced state
When water is in an imbalanced state in a building, it causes a nagging sense of insecurity in its occupants; opportunities do not come their way easily, and they have a myopic vision of life dominated by survival instincts rather than a desire to grow in life–so, there is no growth in their career. They are always bogged down by numerous burdensome petty problems. Their mental peace is disturbed by trivial worries. Once things start moving out of control, it becomes difficult to restore the situation back to normalcy. Immunity gets weak leading to regular health problems.
