Fire, one of the four classical elements of nature, is a symbol of willpower, creativity, and purification. It is both destroyer and creator, representing the sacred flame within us that drives us to awaken and evolve. When we are in rhythm with its energy, we can alchemize personal transformation, enhance our passions, and reaffirm our vitality. It represents our divine spark that fuels creation and ambition and gives birth to desire and courage. Fire has been used for centuries in releasing and spiritual ceremonies for purification, to honor the Sun, and to ward off darkness.
In astrology, the Fire element rules the signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. People born under these signs are believed to embody traits of confidence, passion, and leadership qualities.
Our Solar Plexus Chakra is connected with the Fire element. It governs our willpower, confidence, and motivation. When it is aligned we cultivate an authentic life and are in control of our choices.
Archangels Michael and Uriel are closely associated with the Fire element. Archangel Michael is often depicted with a flaming sword representing purification and protection from low lying energies. Call upon them when in need of motivation, courage, and to illuminate our inner divine spark.
Our favorite crystals to work with the Fire element are Carnelian, Sunstone, Garnet, Citrine, and Hematoid Fire Quartz. They remind us that we are in control of our emotions and willpower, help to align our Solar Plexus Chakra, and ignite our passions.
To tap into the energy of Fire, you can engage in activities to promote clarity and self-confidence such as Yoga poses (Boat and Chair pose), a fire ceremony or light candles for releasing, practice Breath of Fire Breathwork, or a walking Meditation.
Fire is the element of transmutation. It reminds us of the divine spark within us all and empowers us along our spiritual journey!
