ANALYZING FIRE PEOPLE!
REMEMBER WE ARE ALL FIVE ELEMENTS BUT A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THE FIRE TRAIT COULD MAKE YOU OR A PERSON YOU KNOW, A 'FIRE'. For the ancient, Chinese 5 elements, solution, for understanding which element you are, think of people in relation to that of nature. Think of how fire is when it is quiet and comforting, like a cozy fireplace( balanced) Or when the fire is almost going out and becoming cold and distant (yin) or think of fire as out of control and raging, like a forest fire. (Yang) You have an accurate picture of the Fire personality. Fire people who are very yang (active)are always on the go and could be described as a type A personality. They have things to do and places to go and they will try to do it all in one day. They talk fast and appear in a hurry to get somewhere important. They may make you feel anxious so you need to get whatever you want to say to them out in a hurry and not keep them waiting. They may sometimes be loud and intimidating. They love bright and colorful clothes. They love fun and good times and good friends to share them with. They are hot and passionate about their projects or latest business venture. A balanced FIRE person is ideally warm and cozy, charismatically charming, and , at the same time, able to relax from being on the go too much. Health problems for FIRES tend to be heart-related. Their emotions fluctuate from joy to bottom-of-the-pit despair. (Until they learn balance.) The FIRE person fluctuates from, an over-bearing, get-out-of-my-way, I'm here, overpowering person to a charismatic charmer. As a child, the Fire person was continually clamped down on, told to sit still and be quiet. (yin) So Fires tend to run the gamut from charismatic and charming person to one who will consume you if you let him, back to calm and peaceful person. I have friends who are fires and I love them dearly. Some of them have learned balance and are warm and fuzzy most of the time. Others are more on a roller coaster who have a tendency to be domineering and bowl you over with their enthusiasm. FIRES run out of steam at noon hour, it's not a good time to do business with them. FIRES need to be with people one moment and alone the next, and seem to be in conflict within themselves. A fire child could be called A.D.D. when the fact is, he or she is just an imbalanced, out-of-control fire...perhaps this happens after he or she has had a food that reacts on their nervous system detrimentally. A few cooling herbs like chamomile, passion flower, blue Vervain, and cooling type foods like, salads, vegetables and fruits could do wonders for them instead of drugs like Ritalin. Essential oils like lavender, chamomile, diffused, would help balance a fire. Fire people should not take hot herbs, like ginseng, cayenne, sugar and white flour foods; red and yellow -colored dyes in foods would intensify their out-of-balance, problems. FIRES are most influenced by fright, excitement, passion, joy, and need to be balanced with thoughtfulness and quiet reflection. FIRES IN A NUTSHELL: Outgoing friendliness. Psychic abilities, Promotes joy and happiness, Out of touch at times with reality, Excessive optimism, Speak too fast and often too loud. Tired and disoriented at midday, Love people, sports, entertaining, good times. Have vivid dreams, Sets lofty goals but has difficulty attaining them. Likes being hot, vivid, vibrant. Laughs to cover up inability to be serious at serious times. FIRES HEALTH-RELATED PROBLEMS: Nervous exhaustion. Tend to abuse mind-altering substances. Can suffer insomnia, paranoia and anxiety. Can have heart palpitations, flushed face-restlessness. Can have weak sexual response. ( may be the reason why they search outside their present relationship for new challenges,) believing that can fix the problem.) Can have redness and swelling of the tongue. Can be hyperactive. Tired at midday. (don’t try to do business with fires in midday.) BALANCED PATTERNS OF FIRE: Charismatic, animated, sociable, magnetic, optimistic, hopeful, informed, gentle, understanding, enthusiastic. FIRES LIKE: They love: SUMMER, THE COLOR RED, TIME- BETWEEN 11:00AM-3:00PM, BITTER- TASTING FOODS, LAUGHING. Because of their tendency to be passionate and unsure of their emotions, (inner conflict) they are seemingly dissatisfied with their current mates and are off looking for greener pastures which may explain why some effervescent fires have a hard time staying married or monogamous. Of course, having said all that, FIRES, as well as every other element who discovers inappropriate behavior in themselves , are able to use their power of choice to overcome any tendency that doesn’t serve their best interests or those of others. HERBS FOR HEART: Hawthorn is the one herb most mentioned for the heart, Garlic as a natural antibiotic for killing any infections,and lowering blood pressure, Capsicum is great to help all herbs be more effective and for better circulation, Vit.E strengthens the heart and as a blood thinner.
