Fire 🔥 - is known to aid Transformation and purification. Fire is connected to our Solar plexus – where food is transformed into fuel for our strength. Alike to a fire in our bellies, sometimes this light is dampened or is burnt out through over thinking, worry over eating sugary foods.
TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) Element = Heart organ, 11am - 1pm (and small intestines)
(opening at the tongue! tastes of summer and food a'plenty)
Season = summer // Emotions = Joy
TCM states the personality of a FIRE element can be seen as, 'People with strong Fire energy may be charismatic. They excel at commanding others to action. They may love talking and socialising. When the inner fire is healthy and bright we have high spirits. Our intuition and enthusiasm for life always guide us in the right place at the right time to meet the right people. We feel joy and a strong sense of purpose in our life. Positive emotions are: compassionate, joyful, spiritual, hearty, passionate, enthusiastic, respectful, polite, refined, patient, bright, loving, forgiving and happy."
What about when we are out of balance...?
Physical symptoms of Fire imbalance are high or low blood pressure, pain in the chest, buzzing in the ears, bloodshot eyes, shortness of breath, flushed complexion, hastiness and always hurrying.
Negative emotions are: impatient, hasty, insensitive, cynical, hateful, cruel, vicious, inconsiderate, mocking, thoughtless, tasteless, jealous, frustrated and disappointed.
