Fire is related to the organ and meridian system of the Heart and its partnered organ the Small Intestine. In this season Fire is predominant, and in our body, like in nature, this Fire element is warming, heating, activating, brings spark, spirit, love, laughter and joy. This element and energy system is also in charge of the tissue of the blood vessels and the sense organ of our tongue. Too much Fire, like in nature, can cause heat, sweating, dryness, redness, volatility and fluctuations in emotions and anxiety. Often Fire conditions can lead to insomnia, and deeper psycho-emotional states. On the opposite end of the scale, too little Fire will result in coldness in the body, body fluid accumulation, lack of warmth and affection in our emotions, nervousness, anxiety, and depression. The goal of this season is to promote the warming and generating action of our energy, as well as fostering our emotions of love, laughter, joy and spirit.
The Heart is in charge of the strength of the flow of Qi (vital energy) and Blood, and it governs our blood vessels. It governs this movement upward, and outward, in an expansive way. Physical weakness in the Heart and Heart meridian show signs similar to Western medicine cardiac conditions, such as chest pain, chest pressure, irregular heart beats, etc.
Fire, and the Heart from a psychological and emotional perspective, is integrated with the emotion of joy. If our Heart and Small Intestine are functioning properly we give love and joy in equal amounts to being able to accepting and feeling love and joy deep within us. A weakened or disturbed Heart energy system, shows up with signs of anxiety, insomnia, and on the more extreme end, volatile emotions, inappropriate laughter or other psychological conditions. However, if the Heart energy system is activated too much, this excessive (flooding) condition can eventually disrupt any one of the Heart's functions. One of the most important functions of the Heart energy system, is that it houses the Shen, which is translated most closely to our "Inner Spirit" in Chinese Medicine. The manifestation of our Shen is seen in our eyes and complexion, and should radiate outward, like a light.
If you enjoy using aromatherapy at home, using essential oils is a great way to improve the state of our emotions and promote the free flow of Qi. Use essential oils like Jasmine, Melissa, Neroli, Palmarosa, Rosemary, Rose, Ylang Ylang and Lavender, help promote the Fire, love and joy within us, and the free flow of Qi in the Heart and other fire meridian Qi. Thus the oils can help reduce stress, anxiety, depression, sadness, and help us feel love, joy, spark, spirit and warmth within us. However, be sure to use good quality, 100% natural oils, as the synthetic, chemical and adultered oils can cause reactions
