The Air Element is all about breath, life, and spirit. It also represents thoughts, ideas, reason, memory, knowledge, and communication. Those who harness the power of the Air Element tend to be the thinkers, the doers, and the change makers in the world. Understanding and utilizing the Air Element allows for freedom and liberation to be achieved in our lives. The Air Element is represented by the Heart Chakra, as this is where unconditional love, compassion, and our authenticity flow freely when opened and balanced. The Air Element is often depicted in symbolism related to birds, the sky, mountains, towers, and in tarot the suit of swords.
I'm a firm believer that our thoughts create our reality and I believe a part of what we are here to do is transcend our minds and realize that our thoughts are not always us. Learning to do this requires both intuition and discernment. Learning to recognize what are our thoughts verse the thoughts, beliefs, and constructs of outside influences that we have been carrying and adopting as our own. I believe that our minds are infinite and limitless and when we stop "boxing" ourselves in it allows for endless possibilities to flow into our lives with ease. To transcend the mind requires us to be open to any and all things, to let go of judgement, to move out of unbalanced ego and simply just "be" and allow things to unfold in our lives.
