Deficient Air
Air Basics
The Air Element symbolizes the mental realm and demonstrates how we perceive and understand the world around us. Air is always circulating and always moving like never-ending thoughts flowing through the mind. Air is an expressive, Yang energy with the qualities of hot and wet. Hot initiates a faster, more expansive mode of being, while moisture is soft, flexible and unifying.
Just like wavelengths that move through the air transmitting information to computers, phones and televisions, the Air element similarly carries messages, spreads ideas, and connects people across different perspectives. It moves with lightness and curiosity, never getting weighed down and always willing to change directions as needed. Air governs logic and objectivity and is the champion of freedom, innovation and exploration.
Balanced Air
Connected, expressive, curious, social, intellectual, informed, innovative, analytical, and good at communicating thoughts and ideas.
Air represents the faculty of perception and the process of transmitting and receiving information. This element describes our approach to understanding the world around us and provides useful insights about how we think, learn, and communicate.
Lack of Air
When the air element becomes underactive, it can lead to mental stagnation, difficulty with communication, and an inability to process or express thoughts clearly. You may find yourself struggling to think critically or get stuck in a pattern of indecision. Your mind may feel foggy or sluggish, making it hard to focus on tasks or solve problems. With a deficient Air element, verbal and written expression can be an overwhelming challenge that causes you to feel tongue-tied or struggle to organize your thoughts when speaking or writing.
Deficient Air can lead to mental fatigue or a general lack of interest in intellectual activities. Without the active engagement of the mind, you may feel uninspired or disinterested in learning new things or engaging in stimulating conversations. The air element governs flexibility and adaptability, so individuals with an underactive air element can experience rigid thinking, especially around accepting change.
Air is also closely linked with creativity and the ability to generate new ideas, therefore you may run into creative blocks when trying to find inspiration that sparks your imagination. Often this stagnancy will leak into your professional and personal life where you struggle to welcome change or initiate something new or spontaneous. There is a tendency to compress and hold still versus expanding and moving, which often leads to missed opportunities and an overall low level of energy.
Remediation

Expand your social interactions to reignite your communication skills
Embrace change and flexibility to help you see the world in different ways
