A Short Mind Meditation using the Element of Air
Ground and Center
Expand the cells of the body, becoming more and more diffuse.
Feel yourself floating in the atmosphere, light as thistledown.
Borne along in the currents of air.
Ride the wind.
Become the wind, blowing where it wills.
Look at yourself, invisible, molecules blown by the wind.
Hear the voices of the wind.
What do they say?
Call to the Sylphs.
Ask them what they do.
Where there is air, there is the King of the Sylphs, Paralda.
Ask the Sylphs to help you see him.
Speak with him.
See Nature breathe, every plant, every creature.
Note their relationship.
The air flows everywhere.
The Breath of Life.
Each takes what it needs and returns the residues.
Listen to a songbird.
Hear the vibrant note go forth, borne upon the wind.
Listen to the tempest, shrieking in the branches, wailing through the rocks, sobbing in the power lines.
Whirl with the cyclone, one with it.
Exult with it, spiraling, spiraling into the center, where all is still.
Only your heartbeat is heard and the breath in your nostrils.
The Sylphs tend you too.
Love them, feel them one with you as the power of Life flows through your blood, restoring and cleansing in the changeless rhythm of Change.
Come back slowly
Take time to open your eyes.
