We are All Connected: Using Acupressure Strategies to Enhance Human and Canine Health: Fire phase
Life, love and the pursuit of happiness. This is fire, when balanced. Full of warmth and light, it represents vitality & excitment about life. Course 3 will present strategies for enhancing human and canine health with a focus on the Fire Element.
Course Overview
"We are all connected." In the case of fire, not only are we connected and balanced by Wood, the "mother" of fire, (think wood feeding the fire in a campfire in the woods) but the fire element has not just two, but four meridians associated with the bright light we call Fire. Fire is love and warmth in its' balanced state. Imbalanced it can manifest as inflammation, as in inflamed joints, dry skin, sexual coldness, hemorrhoids , hot flashes, heartburn, poor circulation, and digestive problems. The four meridians associated with the fire element are: 1) the Heart (HT) yin 2) the small intestines, (SI) Yang, 3) Pericardium (PC) yin and 4) Triple Heater TH (yang). The Triple Heater also known as the Triple Warmer, SanJiao is the only meridian that is not associated with an organ. It has other associations and is connected to our core, or "three burners" and immune system. Other associations we think of with fire are: the color red, the season summer, direction, south, flavor bitter, the orifices of the ears and the tongue. The emotions are joy and happiness. Fire is probably the easiest element to access. When a person or animal's fire is out of balance they may have a heavy heart and be sad, or out of control, have ear and hearing problems like deafness and tinnitus, or have ear aches. Their tongue may be very red.
