Over the winter holidays my brother and I started watching this show called Avatar: The Last Airbender. Avatar, is a show that can be enjoyed by anyone, from children to those who are adults. The show is about a young child who is destined to be the avatar and save the world by using all of the elements; earth, water, air, and fire to defeat the fire lord. This show got me thinking, do the control of these elements still exist? How cool would it be to be able to bend fire and the earth in order to use as a means of transportation? All of these element bending comes from the study of Tai Chi and using the life force within ourselves to control the surrounding elements. I find it amazing that thousands and hundreds of years ago, people used to or could have studied and mastered the ways of these elements and something tells me deep down, that there are some people who may continue to study them. I remember that during this show I would Google, element bending and realized that there are some forms of it that exist today, for example pyrokinesis or pyromania is the study of creating fire, control and exhausting fire by using one’s mind. I just find it amazing how this stuff exists and I wouldn’t mind travelling the world, in order to seek and learn from those who can channel their energy to the point where they can create fire using just their energy.
