The air feels soft and springy.
When you tune into the Air, you feel its warmth expanding in your chest in the area from the throat to the solar plexus.
Depending on your state, on how much tension and emotions you accumulated during your life, it may feel uncomfortable. Until you cleanse yourself, you may feel physiological remnants of resentment, shame, feelings of rejection or neglect, or other significant negative interpersonal or social interactions. It could feel like jet engine exhaust instead of clean fresh forest air. If that's the case and you can't ignore it and proceed
— burn all this trash with Fire and wash away the remaining ash with Water.

Fire gives you the power to stand on your own feet; let's also use its power to breathe freely.

The Sound

When we were discussing Fire and Earth, we talked about vibration. Air is not an exception here because it is associated with sound—vibration of a higher rate. Real, "material" sounds propagate in actual material air, so we can sense and produce them with our bodies.

By the way, what we hear is not the vibration itself, but its modulation produced by various material causes. In the case of Air, as part of the Stone, it has its own sound that we can tune into and hear inside, without external causes. This sound is silent.

Let's try to hear it right now:

• Sit down, close your eyes.
• Hold your hands in front of you with palms turned forward to the world.
• Recall the feeling of a light breeze gently blowing into your palms, chest, and face.
• Recall the whisper of the grass, when a soft wave approaches you.
• The sound of Air is not what you feel on your skin and hear with your ears.
• The sound of Air is a song of your soul which you can hear inside as a response to the experience you just recalled.

Feel free to experiment. Maybe in your case, you can find it some other way. If you're a musician or just love music, you can hear it right after the last note of a beautiful melody ends. Maybe the sound of the sea, the sound of big trees in the wind, or the sound of an empty temple will be a better fit for you.

This song is always with you and does not depend on the weather or environment; it's just harder or easier to hear it.

Just to clarify, the sound of Air is not sound, even if simulated in the mind. People usually can imagine sound internally, for example, music. The sound of Air is the feeling of what remains even after the imagined sound. It's like sitting in a hall when the echo has fully faded out.

The Voice

You have a special voice, which is autonomous and comes right from your chest, breaking through your usual control. When you speak normally, you take your ideas from your head and materialize them through your throat, more or less precisely choosing words. This is a great way to communicate and think, and this process is represented by the rune Ansuz:

The Ansuz rune is one of three runes that are not part of the Stone, and we will discuss it separately. But when you want to do some magic, you speak differently. Whatever deep truth or intention you want to express to the world, you act both from the top and bottom at the same time.

This is the bind rune "Uruth," a combination of Uruz and Thurisaz runes but without the second vertical bar, so only descending and ascending bars remain from the Thurisaz rune here.

This bind rune was one of the pieces of the entire Stone puzzle along with the idea of runes as 5-level energy diagrams. As you see in the picture, we have the first simultaneity of the top four worlds as a starting position. Then a pulse of sound starts in the Water, transitions smoothly into the Air, and without any stop or control slides to the Emptiness where it's met by an ascending pulse of the Light coming from the world of Earth, from your Crystal.

This voice is special not because of any specific timbre or intonation or whatever properties a voice may have. It can be loud or quiet, calm or emotional. The main qualities are authenticity, spontaneity, and a sort of hidden reverberation, which may not be physically audible but hypnotizes yourself and your audience (if any).

This voice makes ripples.

Glossolalia

To unlock and experience speech spontaneity I recommend this:

• Sit down comfortably
• Close your eyes
• Start calmly repeating "la-la-la-la-la-la".
• Repetition is needed to gain some inertia of the speaking process to help you detach the control from it. It's similar to the "Spontaneous Movements" exercise when we start by slowly swaying from side to side, it's still controlled, but due to its repetitiveness, it becomes more automatic, and the level of control is already reduced making it easier to let spontaneity emerge to surface.
• After shifting state of mind to less controllable, some irregularities may appear in the rhythm and intonations of your "la-la-la" - let them happen.
• Keep learning how to reduce control of your speech and you eventually will find yourself speaking some emotional and expressive but completely nonsensical language.
• Enjoy telling everything it has to say and by the way learn what true spontaneity is.

Breathing

Another Air-related exercise I can recommend is "Guided Wim Hof Method Breathing". You can easily find the video online. It's based on physiology and works very well for everyone, no special "magic" skills are required for it.
