The element of Air connects us to the vast open space of truth and invites a sense of clarity and balance.

The element of Air uplifts and expands our perspective. It guides us to create fresh and innovative ideas, and reminds us that reorganization and change are inherently good for our growth and transformation.

Key words associated with Air:

  • Reorganization

  • Clarity

  • Balance

  • Breakthrough

  • Perspective

If Air is high on your elemental constitution, you have an abundance of ideas and are inventive and clever. You love to float from one place to the next and enjoy variety and change. You are easily stimulated, and your wittiness compliments your highly sociable nature.

If you’re lacking the Air element within you, you may feel a lack of inspiration, monotonous in your routine, lethargic, and unable to pull yourself out of your own subjective perspective. Here are 3 simple steps to connect to Air…

3 Steps to Connect to Air:

  1. Take a stimulating breath in through your mouth, out through your mouth.

  2. Imagine a cool breeze brushing against your skin.

  3. Repeat the affirmation: I am innovative. I am expansive. I am witty. I am uplifted. I am inspired

If you have too much of the Air element active within you, you may feel overstimulated, overwhelmed and have a tendency to overthink things. Take a deeper dive below into all the ways you can balance your Air element.

Balancing Your Air Element Through Your Body, Mind and Energy

Your Air Body needs warm cooked root vegetables, soups, stir-fries, curries, rice, oatmeal, avocados, nuts and dates, olive/sesame/grapeseed oils. Drink room temperature water. Keep your body cozy, dress warmly and wear socks or gloves in the winter. Remember to use body oils before or after hot showers or baths to keep your skin supple. Sesame oil is best for warming and grounding.

Your Air Mind needs to slow down. Establish a routine and stick to it. Wake up at the same time and go to bed at the same time every day. Use journal writing and to-do lists to stay focused. A warm bath with candles before bed will calm your mind.

Your Air Energy needs to breathe deep and set an intention for the day upon awakening. Utlizie KINRGY CONNECT classes to ground your energy, declutter your mind and bring you into the present moment.
