FIRE – Its colour is Red (Direction West)
Fire is the energy that creates life and it is also the power behind conception and birth. Fire needs air to sustain its existence because without it, it withers and dies. Fire is what gives us the potential for action in the world; it forms momentum that allows us to grow and reach adulthood and become complete in our life’s purpose. When we talk of people burning with passion, this is the fire we talk about, an energy that fuels their ability to achieve their dreams. This potent element allows us to be inspired and to move from the point of birth growing fully into our lives. It brings momentum and without its transformative qualities all would be static. Fire is the powerful energy store within us that allows us to reach transcendence and move into pure consciousness to fully understand the Gods.
Fire is in the West, the direction of the setting sun, when we turn to the direction of the West we offer our prayers for the gift of life. We light candles and burn bonfires to this element and we feel its power as it transforms everything with its touch. Nothing can ever stay the same with the element of :ire, our lives are a process from birth to death; we burn throughout our existence consuming the air we need to keep living. At the end of our lives when the fire has dwindled we finally take our last breath and devoid of fuel we transform and dissolve into the next form of existence.
The fire element resides in your liver organ and from time to time when we get a bit cranky this organ feels sluggish. This happens when we eat the wrong type of foods and when we get stressed, to calm yourself and strengthen this element when it feels weak imagine breathing in the fire element as red pure light and let it infuse your liver organ cleansing it with healing and refreshing light that restores and heals.
