Upon invisible currents air rides, covering the planet with the blanket of oxygen that sustain all life. This precious canopy protects the earth from excessive radiation and forms the transparent sea through which birds and insects fly, clouds dance, and rainbows reveal themselves.  Air is such a precious commodity that we would not survive for long without it. It contains the pranic life force that triggers the energetic bodies to perform their moment by moment “miracles”.

It is easy to take air for granted since it is so common and plentiful. Breathing is automatic. Even through pollution we can still breathe, though in a somewhat compromised manner. The clouds progress through their cycle bringing the weather to bathe or warm or cool the inhabitants of this planet. The birds fly and the hawks hover and the planes take off and land. But, like all things in this dimension, acknowledgment and appreciation enhance and expand their power and effect.

Focusing on any expression of air is showing gratitude. You can become active in efforts to maintain the quality of the air, focusing on pollution from industry, from automobiles and the combustible engine, from coal burning energy providers, from third world campfires to stay warm, the list goes on. You can also send appreciation to the plant world for its uninterrupted process of creating the oxygen supply that sustains us in such a loving manner....and thus become aware and active in reducing the deforestation of the world in the name of business and profit.

Learning and using an array of breathing techniques can lead you to experiencing even greater effects of the pranic life force contained in this element air. In fact, utilizing them can lead to an even greater balance within you so you can increase your focus and activity to assist any of the above challenges with air quality.

Becoming an advocate of the winged ones through study and observation can lead you to a deeper appreciation of their magnificence. Few things are as majestic as the eagle soaring or the hovering of the hawk preparing to descend or the speed at grace with which a hummingbird moves about in its loving flower to flower dance.

This week you are invited to shower the air and all its capacities with awareness, acknowledgment, and appreciation. Consciously take time to do any of the following activities:

  1. Breathe and become aware of this endless invisible source of life sustenance. Appreciate all that it allows you to do. Thank it graciously over and over for its devotion to life.
  2. Examine your own home to determine ways in which you might pollute the air supply: chemicals, exhaust...make any necessary changes. Get an air purifier, an ion generator, add more plants.
  3. Choose to spend more time in nature. Notice the difference in the air and the way it makes you feel while in the abundance of plant life.
  4. Choose to use your car less, thus reducing your own carbon footprint. Walk, bicycle, take a bus to do those errands that are relatively close by. You will get healthier in the process.
  5. Research groups that are active in helping to reduce pollution of the air. Join or contribute resources.
  1. Cloud watch, notice the flow of the air currents, and appreciate this remarkable dance.
