Ahh…The Air Element…

                                                                                                                                                                                        Imagine yourself at the top of a mountain.  The vistas are spectacular and you can see clearly for miles.  You feel exhiliarted as you deeply breathe in the fresh, clean mountain air.  The crispness of the air touches your skin and you feel vibrantly alive.  Welcome to the air element!

Now imagine the same scenario above; you are at the top of a mountain, but the air is dirty, filled with smog and you cannot see very far in front of you.  You may feel frustrated that you cannot see into the distance and that you are breathing in unclean air. 

The air element represents our intellect; our thoughts and belief systems.  When we know ourselves more deeply, we make decisions with clarity.  When our untrue belief systems or negative thoughts lead the way, we may stumble or make reactionary decisions.  

During air week, we delve into our beliefs, values, thoughts and our clutter.  Why clutter?  Outer clutter represents inner clutter.  Therefor the more you clear on the outer, it frees your inner self to soar.  And that’s what air week is all about - soaring to new heights and an understanding of self. 

A quick way to clear your mind and create an opening to new possiblities is to clear the clutter in any area of your home.  Even it it’s drawer.  One of my favorite teachers, Caroline Myss says that if you want to invite change, clean out a drawer. This begins the process and the subconscious mind follows.  

The air element teaches; Breathe in clarity…breathe out disharmony…..

And tackle some clutter to create a clearer path to your Soul!
