Part 2: Gravity and Levity

In the second video, he compares the introduces the concepts of gravity and levity and describes how they affect the interactions of the four elements.

Part 3: What is tempering?

In the third video, he teaches us about the process of tempering, which allows us to “balance” different forces in the elemental mandala. This tempering is the root of our understanding about the temperaments and how we can use that in healing.
