32. AIR

Breath, life, travel

What a powerful and stabilizing tool your breath is.

This invisible mixture of gases surrounds the earth. Air is an exchange of electrons, a flow of energy. Although you cannot touch, taste, see or feel it, Air is always around you, filling the spaces. It is essential for life. Air forms a barrier around the earth, protecting you from powerful rays that would otherwise harm you. It is also necessary for plants and animals alike to breathe, giving each energy to eat, grow and survive. Constantly moving, even on a windless day, Air carries things with it as it goes, such as moisture, pressure, different atmospheres, and then shifts them all around. Air's song is therefore about movement and travel, being light and always ready to go. It is also about life. Air is the source of life and holds within it the spirit and power of the cosmic breath.

Air reminds you that your breath is important. It is not only your life force, but can also help you balance yourself. Taking deep, slow breaths deep into your belly can regulate your nervous system, connecting you to the present moment and bringing a sense of calm. Utilize your breath as a tool to anchor and ground you. Draw Air deep into your lungs and feel gratitude for where you find yourself. You may also take inspiration from Air to be light, ready to move and willing to travel. You can benefit from letting go of things that are tying you down, getting curious and going to new places.
