The element of Air is said to represent life, purity, and
harmony. It is connected to the mind, wisdom, spirits, and the soul. With these
in mind, when I think of Air, I think of the home.
You can incorporate the element of Air in your home decor. Windows should be large and unobstructed, allowing air and light in. Colour schemes should include pale yellows and whites.

Plants associated with Air are traditionally Anise, Birch, Cedar
(due to the aroma), Lemongrass, Pansy, Primrose and
Violet. Whilst it’s not possible to grow many of these indoors, you could
display paintings or sketches instead. Flags are also physical representations
of the air - these can be a magical addition to any home. Crystals associated
with Air are aesthetically pleasing, and create a beautiful energy - try
Citrine, Labradorite, Topaz, and Moonstone.
CLEANSING THE HOME USING THE ELEMENT OF AIR
Smudging 💨 The
leaves will release a thick smoke (you may open windows!), allow it to linger.
Herbs 🌿 Smudging
is not limited to White Sage. Eucalyptus, Lavender, Cedar, Palo Santo, Rosemary
and Mugwort are alternative herbs you can burn, and there are many mixed-herb
smudging bundles available.
Incense 🔥There are
many types of incense - stick, cone, dhoop, loose hand-blended, and more. They
cleanse and change (or charge) the atmosphere and add fragrance.
Clapping 👏🏼 The
air caught between your hands causes a loud noise that cleanses. Stand in the
middle of the room facing the window. Pull your arms back and pull the negative
energy into the clap. Visualise any straggly bits of negative energy exiting
through the window. Repeat until until the energy is clear, and shut the window
if you have opened it.
Windchimes 🛎 Windchimes
or bells hung by an open window consistently cleanse the room with their soft
chimes. Hang bells or windchimes in the garden to keep social or dining areas
fresh.
Opening
doors and windows 💨 My
personal favourite. I open doors and windows throughout the whole of the house
and allow the air to flow through, usually whilst I am cleaning.
