According to Chinese philosophy, people are sick because one or more of their five elements are out of balance. The Five Elements comprise the five energetic forces which make up all living organisms. Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.

Each Element has its own unique characteristic nature, however their relationship to one another forms a system of checks and balances which is ultimately responsible for our health and development.

THE FIRE ELEMENT

The movement of Fire causes us to open our arms like a mirror and radiate warmth and to love from our hearts and also to receive love and warmth back into our hearts; establishing and maintaining heart to heart connections.

Your Fire Element is where you interface with the present moment. Fire is the “be here now” Element. It is your main point of contact to the outside world; your ability to show up and be present, and thus be consciously aware of the world around you.

Lack of the fire element causes you to avoid the risk of exposure and remain isolated in a cold and indifferent world.

Are you easily overwhelmed? Do you get lost in details that don’t actually matter? Do you find it difficult to absorb and extrapolate the mountains of data that are being presented to your senses day after day? The ability to adequately cope with these things is largely the responsibility of your Fire Element.

When your Fire Element is operating effectively, you are able to stay present and filter through the endless streams of incoming data so that you are conscious of what is necessary and pertinent to the given moment without becoming distracted.

So much of your moment to moment experience of this life is hinged upon your ability to be present and sort efficiently. These faculties have a greater influence on your overall quality of life than perhaps any others. The fire element is what produces your stream of consciousness.

Fire is the element that allows you to love and be loved. How can you drink from the cup of Love and share this cup with others? Balancing the Fire Element in your body could be the answer.

The organ systems of the body associated with the Fire Element are the Heart, Small Intestine, Pericardium and Triple Warmer meridians.

The primary emotion associated with the Fire Element is Joy. Seldom is there enough joy, which tends to a state of sadness or depression. Such an emotion is usually felt in your upper chest and heart region.

Signs of Fire Imbalance:

• Anxiety
• Restlessness
• Insomnia
• Heart palpations
• Failure to bounce back after a betrayal of intimacy
• Shock and or trauma that leaves you feeling in a state of disconnected limbo
• Nervousness
• Shyness
• Fear of intimacy
• Loneliness
• Easily intimidated
• Sweating disorders
• Stuttering
• Daydreaming
• Inability to stay in the present moment
• All issues surrounding the sharing and receiving of warmth or intimacy
• Lack of Joy, feelings of flatness, dullness or sadness
• Deep longing for, but terror of making meaningful contact with another
• Issues around chaos and control
• Easily overstimulated, scattered and ungrounded
• Feeling vulnerable and over exposed
• Feeling like a duck out of water or “different drummer syndrome”
• Issues of timing, feeling offbeat, difficulty being in synch with the people around you
• Inflamed throat and sinus
• Coughing, and nasal congestion
• Low metabolism
• Lack of lubrication in joints
• Impaired circulation of the blood
• Urinary dysfunction
• Menstrual disorders
• Sexual dysfunction
• Low or high body temperature
• Chills and numbness of the extremities

Summer’s special gift – the energy of Fire – allows us to give and receive warmth. By giving and sharing, we build our own Fire, open our own flower, and bring more of the summer sun to the world.

When Fire is deficient

The fire element regulates internal body temperature, is associated with all bodily fluids; menstruation, urinary, and sexual dysfunction. The lungs can lose their ability to expand and contract fully and easily, resulting in poor oxygenation of the blood,. You may experience sluggish digestion, abdominal pain, and watery diarrhea because the digestive organs lack the heat needed to process and assimilate nourishment.

When Fire is excessive
At the other extreme, excessive heat can result in painful inflammation of the joints, hypersexuality, chronic infections, dryness vof the lung, burning diarrhea and urination. Excess heat can also dry out the stool and cause constipation. Affecting the heart, an excess of Fire can cause anxiety and sleep disturbance.

Fire affects the amount of fluid in the body: Too much heat dries up our internal reservoirs and waterways, and at the other extreme too little heat can result in an excess of fluid and swelling.

Fire at the spirit level
On a deeper level, the Fire element expresses itself as joy and manifests within us as love, laughter, and enthusiasm. When our Fire is low and we experience no inner “blooming,” we feel the lack of something to share – joy or compassion.

Though we might crave these qualities, our relationships may be fraught with anxiety and fear of rejection. We may be sexually frigid and inhibited, shy, or emotionally cold and easily hurt, or even overly dependent on our partner. Without the knowledge of who we are in the strength of our flowering, we can neither enter into relationships fully nor express our true selves. Instead, we plan and calculate our moves defensively, then present an image of ourselves that isn’t truthful, which only perpetuates the fear of eventually being “found out.”

Those who may be living under any undue stress, for example have lost their jobs, are home from school, locked indoors and forced to wear masks and maintain social distancing, their fire element is likely burning low. Purchasing some Fire Gel today could possibly help bring some needed Fire Element back into your life!

Kirlian photographs taken of persons before and after applying Fire Gel show an increase in brightness of the aura following application of the gel to different areas of the body.

For those who believe that the aura represents the life-force of the body and that the life-force actually creates the body, as opposed to the body creating the aura, this has significant meaning. If there is something in nature that can brighten the aura and connect the dots, so to speak, then it follows that the body must respond accordingly.

This is what appears to be happening since use of Fire Gel is pretty much universal in its number of applications. We make no claims for this product, but strongly suggest that you try it in a variety of different ways to see for yourself what benefits you may derive from it.

TIPS FOR FIRE GEL

What can I use it for? Well, it can be used in various ways to promote good health and beauty, adding natural energy to the body and stay balanced everyday.

RELAX THAT NECK AND SHOULDERS

Bring relief to the toughest stress and tension in your neck, shoulders, and
back. Rebalance negative energy that you’re holding in these areas.
Apply to any area of discomfort or soreness.

Great for as needed or daily maintenance, morning, noon and night.

BRING RELIEF TO YOUR LEGS & FEET

Change the energy from swellings and discomfort. Legs are the most
common ailment to most people. Just apply gel and change that energy that’s been bugging you.

Remember the bottom of your feet is where your “electrical fuse box” is for
your whole body. Use the gel to rebalance these acupuncture points or
meridians everyday.

CALM YOUR NERVES AND JOINTS

Did you know that we are all made up of energy? Use our conductive gel to
rebalance these places that are causing you stress. Anywhere is fine. If your
elbow is sore, apply all around the joint, not just the spot of discomfort.

Think of covering the whole area to seal in your healing energy. Just remember, the gel is a topical product, and not meant for ingestion.

CHILL! DON’T FREAK OUT!

When experiencing any kind of hypertension or panic attacks, use the gel on
areas near or on the chakra energy centers, especially the neck, chest and
forehead.

To balance these energy centers, use the gel as needed.

RADIANT AND GLOWING!

Our conductive Fire gels are great for removing skin tags, age spots,
wrinkles, and bringing a fresh look to your skin. Increased energy means
increased blood flow.

FOR ALL INJURIES, BOO-BOOS AND OWIES

This is great for burns, cuts, bug bites, bumps, bruises, sore muscles, torn ligaments, sprains, and just about anything that is considered an injury or results from a fall. Don’t forget those boo-boos and owies on little ones.

Use the Fire Gel as soon as the injury happens and change the energy immediately after an injury, then watch the healing accelerate. It’s smart to carry with on journeys away from home or outdoors where these things happen.

RAGING HEADACHES & CLOGGED SINUSES

Did you know that most headaches occur when there is an imbalance of energy? Correct that energy by applying gel to these points; temples, forehead, and back of the neck. Sinuses giving you trouble? Use our conductive energy gel in those areas to breathe easy and be happy again.
