Q & A

What is the historical origin of the ability to hover in the Avatar universe?

The oldest known user of the hovering ability is the air lion turtle from Wan's story. The lion turtles are energy benders, each granting the power of a different element.

Why is hovering considered the ultimate ability for an airbender?

Hovering represents the ultimate union with the air element, symbolizing complete detachment from earthly ties and full harmony with the element of air.

How do air bisons hover without the visible use of air currents?

Air bisons naturally hover without using noticeable air currents, unlike humans like Roku, who use visible air currents for flight. This suggests a natural affinity and inherent capability for airbending in bisons.

Who was Guru Laghima and what was his significance in the context of hovering?

Guru Laghima was a philosopher and poet who lived in the Northern Air Temple 4,000 years before Korra's story. He was the first known airbender to master the secret of hovering and spent the last 40 years of his life without touching the ground.

What are the key teachings of Guru Laghima that relate to the ability to hover?

Guru Laghima's teachings include three key insights: the instinct is a lie, empty yourself to fill the void, and detach from all earthly tethers to become the wind. These teachings emphasize detachment from physical and emotional attachments to achieve spiritual and physical elevation.

How did Zaheer achieve the ability to hover?

Zaheer achieved the ability to hover after the death of his beloved, P'Li. By letting go of his emotional attachment to her, he severed his last earthly tie, allowing him to reach a state of detachment necessary for hovering.

Why can't non-airbenders achieve the ability to hover even if they achieve spiritual enlightenment?

Hovering is an ability exclusive to airbenders. Non-airbenders, regardless of their spiritual enlightenment or chakra opening, cannot hover as it is inherently tied to the element of airbending.

Why did no other airbender besides Guru Laghima and Zaheer achieve hovering?

Achieving hovering requires extreme sacrifices and detachment from all earthly ties, something only the most extreme individuals like Guru Laghima and Zaheer could manage. Additionally, the close emotional bonds air nomads have with their bisons and communities make such detachment difficult.

What is the theory about air bisons and their natural ability to hover?

The theory suggests that air bisons have a natural affinity with airbending due to their spiritual nature and inherent connection with the air element. Unlike humans, their physical and emotional makeup allows them to hover while maintaining their attachments and needs.

What distinguishes the hovering ability of air bisons from that of humans like Zaheer?

Air bisons can hover naturally without needing to detach from their physical and emotional ties, unlike humans like Zaheer who must undergo significant spiritual and emotional detachment to achieve hovering.

What is the importance of the seventh chakra in the context of airbending and hovering?

The seventh chakra, located at the crown, involves letting go of earthly attachments to achieve spiritual enlightenment. Aang's attempt to unlock this chakra to enter the Avatar State involved letting go of his attachment to Katara, which parallels the detachment required for hovering.

How do Guru Pathik's teachings to Aang relate to the concept of hovering?

Guru Pathik's teachings to Aang about unlocking the seventh chakra emphasize the need to let go of all earthly attachments, which is a similar concept to the detachment required for achieving the ultimate airbending ability of hovering.
