Fire is the element of warmth, intimacy, and illumination.
It rules the heart field, the blood, and the way we give and receive connection.
Where Water descended and Wood rose, Fire gathers us around the central flame — the place where joy, vulnerability, and truth live in the same body.
In this session we explore how Fire shows up in:
your nervous system (overdrive vs. collapse)
your heart + circulation
your capacity for pleasure, play, and presence
your boundaries around intimacy, visibility, and being “too much”
Fire reminds you: your aliveness is not a problem to solve.
It’s a signal that your heart is still online.
