This is a classification for those beings associated with the water force and element. Wherever there is a natural source of water, they can be found. All water upon the planet- rain, river, ocean, etc.- has undine activity. They, like gnomes, are also subject to mortality, but they are more enduring.
Water is the well of life, and these beings are essential to us finding that well within. They are essential to awakening the gifts of empathy, healing, and purification.
Many tales have come down to us of various water sprites and spirits, including mermaids. These are a more highly developed level of faerie working with and in the water element. The undines themselves though are usually more primal and not as developed. They often appear in female form, although there are both male and female forms of the more developed water spirits (i.e. mermen and mermaids).
The undines work to maintain the astral body of humans and to awaken and stimulate our feeling nature. They assist in unfolding heightened psychic feelings, as well as emotional ones. Theirs is energy of creation, birth, intuition and creative imagination. They assist us in absorbing and assimilating life experiences, so that we can use them to the fullest. They help us to see and feel the fullest ecstasy of all the creative acts of life, be they sexual, artistic, or the performance of a duty with the right emotion.
Undines often make their presence known through our dreams. Dreams of water and sensuality often reflect undine activity and their urging to greater creativity in our life. Working with them can assist us in controlling and directing dream activity, as well as strengthening the astral body for fully conscious, out-of-body experiences.
An undine is also assigned to each of us throughout our life. By learning to attune to it more fully, we open to all of those other nature beings associated with the element of water more fully. Our personal water elemental also helps us to maintain proper functioning of the bodily fluids-blood, lymphatic fluids, etc. Diseases of the blood contaminate them and tie undines to the karma and the effects of that disease, no matter how unwilling they may be. Abuse of our body abuses them, for once assigned to a human, they can only endure- which is why they are dependant upon us for growth. As we evolve, they will also.
Too little connection with our personal undine or others of the water realm can bring on psychological, emotion, and even physical problems. We may manifest difficulties with compassion, distrust our intuition, become fanatically fearful of pain, and appear cold to others. A lack of sympathy, empathy and general passions fo rlife may reflect a need to get in attunement with our personal undone or water spirit. Failure to connect on a regular balanced level can increase toxicity levels of the body, for the water won't be flowing and cleansing.
On the other hand, too much connection with water elementals can make us water-logged with emotions and contradictory feelings. It can result in self-absorption, a pronounced imagination, secretiveness, fear, a high sense of vulnerability, over-sensuality and even water retention. You may be spending all of your time yearning and emoting, rather than doing.
Through our personal undine, we can get in touch with our feelings and deeper emotions. It can help us awaken to the oneness of creation. It stimulates our nurturing abilities and opens us to the emotional pool where we can find healing compassion and intuition. Because of its fluid nature, the undine is best controlled through firmness.
