FIRE 🔥 The season of Summer. The young trees and plants of springtime grow to maturity in summer, manifested in their full flowering. We flourish in the warmth of summer, going outside into nature and becoming more social. The energy of Fire is expansive, or rising, and it reaches out to embrace those around us. This is a time of communication and the strength of human connectedness.

Red is the color associated with the Fire element. The odor is scorched, the sound is of laughter and the emotion is joy. Fire has two organs and two functions associated with it: the Small Intestine (enables the processing of information, food, etc.), the Heart (the Emperor of all officials), the Heart Protector (protects the Heart) and the Triple Heater (oversees circulation of physical and emotional functions).

When our Fire element is in balance, our ability to love, laugh and connect with those we love is at its strongest. We enjoy a sense of vitality in the realization of hopes and dreams that are coming to fruition. We are able to give and receive in equal measure, developing and cultivating our relationships. Fire’s heat promotes our circulation (both socially and physically). It stirs our passions and expands our Hearts so that we can experience healthy intimacy and compassion for others. We can revel in the sense of joy and love that comes from balanced Fire energy.

Imbalances or blocks in our Fire energy can lead to extreme sadness, a lack of joy and the fear of being lonely or rejected. When our Fire burns too low we lose its warmth and can no longer reach out to others, or connect with those around us in an appropriate way. A person with an imbalance in Fire may appear ashen in color- the absence of a flame. Alternately, just as a natural fire can burn out of control and cause destruction in nature, the Fire within can also blaze uncontrollably and lead us towards self-destructive behaviors. Reciprocity is an important tenet of love. It requires trust to love and be loved in equal measure. We must allow ourselves to be open and vulnerable. If we nourish our inner Fire, we can be present in our hearts and with those around us.
