When we are resistant to the movement of life we may experience feelings of emptiness and sadness. We can’t have a raging continuous fire nor can we have a flame that is near extinction, we need the flickering movement of flames to allow us to respond appropriately to the demands of living. This Yin practice will create your own unique balance.
10-12 William Street, East Maitland
Season: Summer
Organs: Heart and Small Intestine
Element: Fire
In TCM the Heart is paired with the Small Intestine, associated with the season of summer and related to the element of Fire. Fire relates to the sun, light, warmth and heat. Fire ignites all of life. Summer is the season of abundance, when things come into maturity and life is in full bloom. The emotion associated with this time of year is joy and joy is the will of life.
The heart sets our rhythm in life. When we are resistant to the movement of life we may experience feelings of emptiness and sadness. We can’t have a raging continuous fire nor can we have a flame that is near extinction, we need the flickering movement of flames to allow us to respond appropriately to the demands of living. The fire energy inside sparks us to come alive, to be open and to feel abundance. This flame allows us to become conscious of ourselves and others, to express love and gratitude and to become awake in our lives. This tiny spark of divine love residing in our hearts is what radiates out into the world as the light of our individual awareness.
