Air, one of the four classical elements of nature, holds a significant place in various belief systems and philosophies. It is associated with qualities such as movement, communication, and intelligence. In ancient Greek philosophy, Air was connected to the concept of spirit and the life force that animates living beings. In Eastern traditions like Hinduism and Buddhism, Air represents the breath of life and the vital energy known as prana. It is linked to the mind, intellect, and the realm of ideas. In terms of physical properties, Air is characterized by its ability to expand and contract, filling any space it occupies.
In astrology, the Air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) are associated with intellectual pursuits, communication, and social stimulation. People born under these signs are believed to possess qualities like adaptability, curiosity, and a strong sense of justice.
The Air element is connected with the Heart Chakra. The chest and heart space is where life force energy circulates. When our Heart Chakra is aligned and we are connected to the Air element, our actions and words come from a place of compassion, joy, and empathy.
Archangel Raphael, the angel of "healing", is closely tied to the Heart Chakra and the Air element. He can be called upon for healing of the body, mind, and spirit.
Crystals that vibrate with the Air element are Clear Quartz, Sodalite, Amethyst, and Turquoise. They offer the ability to remove energetic blockages and help to circulate our life force energy throughout our chakras.
To tap into the energy of the Air element, you can engage in activities that promote mental clarity, creativity, and open communication such as Meditation, Yoga poses such as Cobra or Dancer, and Breathwork can help cultivate a sense of lightness and freedom associated with Air.
By understanding the properties and symbolism of the Air element, we can gain a deeper appreciation for its role in our lives and the world around us. Air is a constant reminder of the invisible forces that shape our existence!

The Heart Chakra is a sacred energy center and the gateway to bringing in and holding love and compassion. It is key to unlocking the true essence of our being by blending the energies of the lower and upper chakras and creating a harmonious flow of empathy and connection with all living beings.
What is the Heart Chakra?
The Heart Chakra, known as Anahata (meaning "unhurt") in Sanskrit, is the fourth chakra of the seven main energy points in your body. Located at the center of the chest, it radiates a vibrate green color, symbolizes compassion, emotional and spiritual balance, and to be free of judgement. It is associated with the air element, and is represented by a green lotus flower with 12 petals. The heart chakra resonates with the F note and 639 Hz solfeggio frequency. The best crystals to work with the Heart Chakra are Rose Quartz, Kunzite, Malachite, Rhodonite, Ocean Jasper, Eudialyte, and Pink Opal.
How Does the Heart Chakra Work?
The Heart Chakra opens and expands when we embrace love, compassion, and forgiveness. It allows love to permeate every aspect of our lives. When the Heart Chakra is in balance, we experience joy, inner peace, and a deep sense of interconnectedness with all living beings. We are also kind, gentle, and loving with ourselves.
The higher Heart Chakra or ascended Heart Chakra is located at the thymus gland. This represents unconditional Divine Love and working with both chakras in tandem can help nourish this energy center.
What Happens When the Heart Chakra is Blocked?
When the Heart Chakra is blocked, it can lead to emotional distress, and a sense of disconnection. This can manifest as feelings of loneliness, bitterness, and an inability to form meaningful relationships. Past trauma, in this lifetime or ancestral, can also block the Heart Chakra leading to distrust, inadequate coping skills, and repetitive poor relationships. We can become resentful and unable to give or receive love. The Heart Chakra can also become overactive and result in poor emotional boundaries, overcommitting, martyrdom, and difficulty controlling emotions.
How to Balance the Heart Chakra?
Fortunately, there are practices that allow love to flow freely once again. Engaging in heart-opening activities such as yoga, meditation, and breathwork can help release energetic blockages and promote a sense of harmony within. Surrounding yourself in the solitude of nature, listening to high vibrational music, and practicing acts of kindness also nourish the Heart Chakra.
Additionally, incorporating crystals that resonate with the Heart Chakra into your daily life can amplify the healing energy of the Heart Chakra. Essential oils such as Rose, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, Frankincense, and Neroli can be used to assist in unblocking the Heart Chakra and bring in love and peace. They can be diffused in your personal space or applied directly with a carrier oil on the chest/heart space. These crystals and essential oils resonate with the frequency of love, assisting in the restoration of balance and emotional well-being.
A Reiki session is another great way to bring your Heart Chakra into balance. Reiki practitioners are able to assess the Heart Chakra for imbalances and make recommendations to maintain its integrity.
