Connecting to the Fire element and your spirit
Fire is considered the most powerful of the elements. Fire energy bursts forth with vibrant passion, creativity and action, taking charge and ready to bring ideas to life. The Fire energy within us burns brightly with sexuality, creation and action. It is the element most associated with passions of the soul. It is the brilliant rays of sunshine which awaken the Earth each day. It represents light, heat, luster, energy, enthusiasm, metabolism, warmth, brightness, illumination and the power of transformation.
Fire energy within us can burn with intensity, joy or anger. It can offer both life-giving light and heat or destruction if out of control. If we don’t have enough Fire we can lose our spark/inner flame and can easily lose our passion and drive for life. The good news is that if our inner flame begins to dim - there are ways to reignite the spark and refuel our inner Fire to burn brightly again!

The Fire signs of the zodiac are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius which are usually bold, brash, creative and daring. The vibrations in these signs are highly energetic, filled with creative or insightful flashes and a true passion for every moment of life. Fire signs can usually rely on their inner light for guidance, but sometimes overlook the emotional sensitivities of others when they’re consumed by a mission. When there is an overload of Fire energy present and the flame is intense and out of control tempers can run hot if not contained.
When we are able to balance the Fire element within, we become more comfortable with sharing our warmth, our light, our glow and all that we emanate and ignite forth into the world. We embody resilience, energy and zest to be fully engaged in life and love.
Ways to connect to the Fire element:
Face the direction of the East and soak up the sun on your skin if it is shining today.
Feel gratitude for the light, warmth and heat the fiery sun provides us with.
Take a moment to focus on your inner Fire, the things you love, the things that define you and the people/things that inspire you. Write these down in your journal or on a piece of paper.
Light a candle and stare at the flame.
Burn incense, sage or palo santo.
Work out, go for a run, have a dance and work up the heat in your body.
Cook a nourishing meal over a flame (an open Fire or a gas stovetop)
Ponder what Fire means to you. Think about what you are passionate about? Use the Fire energy to awaken your desires which were bestowed upon you when you became your Earthly self.
