AIR

The origin of the air element is the tanmatra of touch called sparsha.

Sparsha tanmatra is the primordial, unmanifested form of touch.

Sparsha is the potential of the touch experience, expressed in its most subtle form. Touch & air are inseparable. Because of their intimate relationship, the skin (through which we receive touch) is considered the associated sense organ of the air element & the hands (through which we reach out & touch the world) are its associated organs of action. Hence, disorders of tactile perception & those of grasping are the results of disturbances in the functions of the air element.
