I love summertime and the fire element. The long days, sunshine, adventures, vacations. It is such a powerful breath of fresh air that keeps the year moving.
Fire element people are all about aesthetics. Dramatic makeup and hair, not just a beard but a goatee, bowties, pizazz, avant garde fashion, sexy or fun underwear and lots of color (especially red). These people delight in their fieryness and wear their sparkles on their sleeves.
That said, can we also talk about rainbows? A consummate symbol of optimism and delight, these are a perfect celebratory emblem of summer. And lucky for us, Pride Month brings rainbows in force. One simple way to nourish fire is to display our rainbows in pride and in support of those we love.
By the way, knowing all these fun fire element identifiers is helpful if your constitutional or emotional fire are diminished, depressed or deeply fatigued. If you are feeling like the delight of the fire element is just beyond your grasp, adding aesthetic fire to your life can provide nourishment, like a gentle herbal formula. I’m talking about putting on lipstick, painting your nails, wearing eye-catching socks, putting your rainbows on, choosing red or purple accessories…
And hey, if you are struggling with a more serious fire element deficiency, like protracted depression or a bipolar low, painting your nails ain’t gonna cut it. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are powerful solutions for emotional imbalances on their own or as a bridge between what pharmaceuticals can provide and where you would like to be.
Would you like to work on your deficient fire this summer? I invite you to schedule your first or next session to work on this opens in a new window::HERE::
