🌌 Akasha (Space Element)

🌬️ Vayu (Air Element)
Vayu mahabhuta (Air) causes all subtle movements in the body such as breathing, nerve transmission as well as gross movements such as walking. Representing freedom, movement, and inspiration, it teaches us to keep moving, to embrace change, and let go of what no longer serves us.
