If you looking to make yourself more attuned to the elements this should help.

Air Lesson:

Emotions present when channeled: daydreaming; intense concentration on a difficult problem; an abstract appreciation of mathematical elegance, artistic skill, or superior craftsmanship; a sense of distance and detachment.

Attuning to Air:
-go outside on a windy day

-learn to whistle

-watch clouds

-learn to make incense, and burn it often

-watch birds and other flying creatures

-be aware of your breathing

-Air has the qualities of being warm and moist--take a hot shower, and then relax in the steam

-boil water and pour it into a bowl--scry with the steam

-do mirror scrying


An Exercise:

Sit comfortably. Breathe in, pause, then breathe out. Feel the air fill your lungs, feel it leave your body. Become one with the air. Once you are comfortable with this, try to further it.
Sit comfortably, and hold your hands in front of you, parted slightly. Visualize a bottle or box between your hands. Inhale deeply, and as you exhale, visualize the air coming out of you going into the container between your hands. Three to five breaths should fill it. Then, inhale back into yourself from the bottle with the same amount of breaths. Practice this until it is easy for you.
