Air Element: Riding The Wind

Air reminds us that we don’t always perceive our benefactors, but that we do find evidence of them if we pay attention. Wind can be known by its tossing of branches and leaves. Breath can be known by the rise and fall of the chest. Thoughts can be known by the body’s reproduction of stress or ease.

Relating to air requires a receptive approach; it cannot be manipulated or forced. But if we open to its rhythms and allow ourselves to sense its movements, we cultivate the trust required to ride the wind.
