Jewels associated with air include amethyst, yellow fluorite, and clear quartz. Scents include frankincense and lavender. The colors of air are white, clear, yellow, and pale blue. One excellent way to commune with air is to hang a hummingbird feeder. Hummers are among the most beautiful birds, like living gems. They dart about the garden with the speed of thought. Choose a red feeder, the hummingbirds' favorite color. Fill with a commercial nectar blend, or get a recipe for sugar-water from a conservation site. Don't use honey or food coloring. To help the birds find your feeder quickly, visualize it as a huge red flower amidst a cloud of hummingbirds, and say this as you hang it: Hummingbirds so swift and fair Teach me all the gifts of air. In return I bid you eat Of this scarlet flower sweet. |
