sylphs ( Air Elementals )




The sylphs are probably more closely in line with our concept of faeries and angels then the other elemental beings. They often work side-by-side with the angels. They are part of the creative force of the air, and it is their work that results in the tiniest of breezes to the mightiest tornadoes.

Air is the source of all life energy. It has been called by many names in may places. It is essential to life. We can go without food and water for extended periods, but we cannot go without air for
any great length of time. It is essential to our very existence. Not all sylphs are restricted to working and living in the air. Many of the sylphs are of high intelligence. Many work for the creations of air and the atmosphere and the proper currents throughout the earth. When you breathe deeply and notice a sweet freshness in the air, you are acknowledging their work. Some sylphs serve special functions in regards to human activity. Some may work to alleviate pain and suffering, and others may work to stimulate inspiration and creativity. One of their more specialized task is to help children who have just passed over. They can also serve as temporary guardian angels, until we open ourselves more fully and draw to us the one who will be the holy guardian angel. A sylph is assigned to each human throughout life. This sylph helps us to maintain our mental body and our mental development. Thus, our thoughts , good or bad, are what most affects them. They help stimulate new knowledge and inspiration. They work to cleanse and uplift our thoughts and our intelligence. They assist us in using the intuitive and the rational together. On a physical level, our personal sylph works to help us assimilate oxygen from the air we breath. It works for maintaining all of the functions of air in and around us. Exposure to pollution, smoking etc affects their appearance and their effectiveness within our lives.

They often show themselves in humanlike forms and are very asexual. In fact, they often inspire this in others. People with strong sylph activity around them often find that sexuality is not high on the list of priorities, they often don understand how it can be so with others. While this can indicate a disconnection with the feeling aspect ( water elementals ) , we must be careful about making assumptions. The sylphs stimulate different expressions of the creative, sexual drive into other avenues of life, such as work. Care should be taken not to allow such expressions to become extreme, as we all need a balance of the elements.

Too much connections with the air spirits or elementals can make for an overactive mind that must be controled and guided. It can create a dabbler. It may also show through a paralysis of will ( too much analyzing ). It can also make the nervous system highly activated, instilling a need for frequent change. It may also show itself in various forms of eccentricity. Fanaticism may manifest, along wiht a general lack of emotional and sensitivity. It may manifest as a detachment from the physical, mundane activities of life.

A deprivation of connection to those of this realm, including our personal sylph, may present itself with impaired perceptions and a lack of common sense. You may find yourself involved with actions and feelings and yet not to be able to reflect on life. You may demonstrate an inability to gain perspective. It can also cause a weak nervous system. There may be a little or no curiousity or imagination.
The sylphs bring inspiration, and they most strongly affect our mental faculties. Learning to connect with your peronal sylph will facilitate the assimilation of new knowledge. It can work with us to expand our wisdom. Sylphs, in general are good to work with for pretection of home and property. Their energy is so strong that they can make possible intruders confused, worried, or think twice about enering your environment.

A connection with our personal sylph can open us to the realm of archetypal ideas. It will assist us in coordinating our perceptions and verbalizing them. It can stimulate mental balance, freedom and curiousity. Our personal sylph is controlled through constancy. Al consistent life or approach to life is best. This means we make a follow through on commitments with resolution.
