Empower yourself with FIRE

“The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.” “When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.”
- Lao Tzu

In Traditional Chinese Medicine there is a modality called Five Element Theory where each of the organs in the body are attributed to the Five elements and two organs belong to the five elements:

FIRE: Heart / Small Intestine
SECOND FIRE: Pericardium / Triple Warmer
EARTH: Spleen / Stomach
AIR/METALl: Lungs / Large Intestine
WATERr: Kidneys / Bladder
WOOD: Liver / Gallbladder

The Fire element is associated with the colour RED, the SUMMER Season, the HEART and SMALL INTESTINE. Besides the heart being the place where we open to love, close to love, experience happiness, joy and heartbreak it is also the organ that houses the beating heart of our amazing bodies.

In the Daoist Tradition positive and negative emotions are associated with the organs. Good health comes from understanding this VITAL KEY, emotional energies reside in the organs and that if we are aware, we can TRANSFORM the negative with the antidote into positive energy. Negative energies can tend to dominate which can have undermining affects to our health. The negative effects of the FIRE element on our heart and small intestine are:

Heart Palpitations
High Blood Pressure
Chest Pain

The NEGATIVE emotions are: impatience, cruelty and hate. The POSITIVE emotions are love, joy and happiness. Recent scientific studies show that feelings of love, joy and appreciation strongly influence the heart’s rhythm and its’ relationship to the bodies physiological systems. The Daoists firmly believe that we need to take responsibility for the emotions that arise within us despite what is going on externally and what might be triggering us externally. The Taoist based Qi Gong exercises that I practise teach us to transform emotions by working with breathing and movement techniques which are connected with the physiological systems. Working with Fire in this way we are transforming hate and anger into love, joy and happiness.
