Fire gives us warmth in the heat of the sun; without this there would be no life on this planet. Yet it can also be very destructive; one tiny flame can grow into a huge forest fire or burn a house down. Fire gives life, but it can also take it away.
Fire is joy and laughter, we only have to look around us on a warm summer day to see the huge effect it has on all around, but it can also be tinged with sadness. The joy of Fire can even be a front to disguise underlying sadness. If we don’t get warmth at the time of year it is supposed to come, it can lead to all sorts of frustrations.
Fire is the element which controls how we relate to one another. Its warmth gives us the ability to communicate and make contact with those around us. It reaches out to others with a selfless spirit, happy if those around are happy. This selflessness can leave Fire open to vulnerability.
The Fire element governs two organs and two functions in us. At the centre is the Heart, the Supreme Controller. We cease to live the minute it stops beating. For this reason, it needs to be protected. The Three Heater, the function in charge of the three burning spaces keeps the Heart at the correct temperature. The Heart Protector guards the Heart closely from both physical and mental attack. The Small Intestine sorts the pure from the impure and sees that only the most pure energy reaches the Heart, helping the Heart to make good choices.
London’s burning, London’s burning,
Fetch the engines, fetch the engines,
Fire, fire! Fire, fire!
Pour on water, pour on water.
Laughter from the heart;
social chatter, carefree days.
Life, sun gives, to all
