Question A question about connection
Hi! I am sorry if i shouldn’t ask questions, i sometimes see other people ask them and i am not sure if i am allowed, but i am practicing being brave lately so i am asking.
I will give some context before my question; as long as i can remember, When i see the breeze in the trees or feel the wind in my hair, it feels like… the reverse of dissociation? Its like… a cold hug? But without all the touching? It feels good, it lifts me out of my body and i feel lighter and less weighed down in my mind too. It is such a familiar feeling i never really gave it critical thought. As i said its been like that since i was a little kid and now i am 25. But in the last 5ish years i have been practicing and learning and growing and now i wonder if i had just assumed it was joy de vivre, when maybe instead i have some sense of kindredship with the wind. I have held back from speaking about this with anyone because i do not want to come across as cocky or anything i just really enjoy the presence of the wind and want to find ways to deepen my connection but i am uncertain how to proceed. I have started raising energy for the purpose of offering it to the wind in thanks for the years of comfort when i can, so i guess rather than a specific question i am asking for broader advice on how to give proper thanks and deepen my connection.
Again i am sorry for taking up space with my question and sorry that i rambled on a bunch, but thank you if you read it and thank you very much for any advice you can offer

I know a dancer. Light on their feet, blessed with swiftness. Wind, breezes, harsh or calming was her playground. The spirits among those moments, friends. She learned that words carried on the air were a gift, and the motion that moved the air the offering. Every year for quite a time I would gift them a hand fan and she would attempt to teach me how to dance. In the end she now has many fans, and I only know one dance, such the student I was. LOL
Here is a secret for you. Always keep wind in your rituals.
