AIR – Its colour is Green (Direction North)
Air is associated with the direction of the North winds and this is the realm of spirit where the primal energy of the universe floods into our world. Air is invisible, we breathe it in giving us life but we cannot touch it. We feel it sometimes on our skin, when the wind blows it caresses us and touches our bodies.
Air is just like spirit, it is there but we cannot give it form because it is formless, it is a feeling that lifts us beyond the everyday world and transports us into a realm where all things are possible, the realm where magic is made and transformation takes place. It is one of the greatest gifts of the universe because it gives us life. But what is life? It is the awareness with which we can perceive the world around us with. But like air the world is not as solid as is seems, it is a moving and flowing rhythm of energy that we dream into being. Air teaches us that everything is energy, moving in and out of form and formlessness, forever in motion.
Our breath is spirit, air gives us the gift of life and we in turn acknowledge that blessing and give thanks. Burn some sweet incense for air or maybe tie a small piece of cloth on a tree as a spirit flag. The air will carry the smoke to the sky and toss your colored rags around carrying your intentions high.
The air element resides in our lungs and its bright luminous quality gives strength to our bodies. When you are feeling a bit down or lacking energy try breathing in pure green light of the air element and let it infuse your whole body with a healing quality that supports and restores you.
