About this session
- Expands your sense of self
- Deepens inner stillness
- Cultivates oneness
- Clears a busy mind
This is the fifth in a series on the elements. Gabriel Loynaz guides you to sit tall, follow the breath, and settle into a neutral centre. Then he turns to ether, the space that holds earth, water, fire and air, and invites you to imagine floating in open space.
It suits anyone drawn to a spiritual, big-picture practice, or who feels stuck in overthinking and the material world. Try it in the early morning to set a spacious tone, or late at night to let the day's mental noise fall away.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is the ether element in this meditation?
Ether is described as space itself, the field the other four elements occupy. Gabriel links it with higher consciousness and highest purpose, and with a feeling of being limitless and one with the universe. He also says it blends masculine and feminine energy, and asks you to let them flow.
Which parts of the body does it focus on?
It centres on the last three chakras: throat, third eye and crown. You may notice tickles between your eyebrows at the third eye. He connects these centres with the pineal, pituitary and thyroid glands.
How does the meditation use the breath?
You begin with nasal breathing, noticing your chest expand and contract. At the end, each inhale draws in ether, or space, so you feel lighter and one with the universe. Each exhale releases the bad energy and the excessive thinking about the external, material world.
What are the signs of ether being out of balance?
Gabriel lists being sceptical, cynical, close-minded or very rational. He also names depending on external things for happiness, struggling to express yourself, feeling ungrounded or floating all day, and feeling confused about your path and purpose. It's offered as a reason to integrate all five elements.
What does he suggest doing beyond the meditation to connect with ether?
He suggests absorbing sun through your skin, swimming in water, walking barefoot on the earth and breathing deeply near trees. For ether itself, he suggests meditating on nothingness and wholeness, imagining floating in space, singing, using crystals or doing breathing exercises.
What is the imagined floating in space for?
It's how you touch nothingness and wholeness at once. Gabriel pauses, leaving silence for you to rest in that image. It supports the stillness he describes, a state that is subtle, neutral and intuitive.
