Air lives within water, air lives beside the water. Air gives form and life to all creatures of the Earth. Passionate fires do not grow or glow without the breath of air. Air is ever-present. Our common rooms - our living rooms - are most often the spaces that we connect with others and the outside world. When we connect with ourselves and with each other through communication, we are connecting with the element of air.
When you take time to gather, be mindful. Be aware of self and space, and work to infuse your home with clarity, connection, and transcendence.
Spending time in our common spaces can be as sacred a ritual as cooking. Working to enhance communication and connection creates nourishment for our souls and in all things, the connection is the reason we exist.
Focusing on how we build our altars, how we decorate our space, and how we clean and clear it has deep meaning for not only you but all those that enter your common space. Look to what you hang on the walls, the colors you work with to decorate, and how you are enhancing your space with smells. Rituals, like watching a favorite form of media together in your common room, playing games, or building puzzles can also enhance the sacred energy of your common room. Always spend your time intentionally and do your magical work for connection! You won’t be disappointed!
In our modern life, Air supports positive connection and communication amidst the chaos.
Air is an essential element in your home. It helps you create a space and place for positive flow, cleansing and clearing are a practice to support the element of air.
