Fire burns through our practice. Fire allows for transformation, growth, renewal. Shiva as the Nataraj, the cosmic dancer moves through fire and dances. Fire also purifies. The breath of fire is a breathing technique that some yogis use to excite the kundalini shatki energy. Kundalini burn through the body as she rises. The energy purifies the chakras, and starts at the root. Asana practice helps the body to build heat, the joints become lubricated, the muscles of our body come to life through the movement of our yogic practice. Invoking the element of fire in our yoga practice allows us to connect to passion, desire and will. Fire both creates and destroys.
The electrical system in the body ignites our hearts. It keeps us alive. In yoga we often chase kundalini. We have to be careful. Spiritual fire can burn us from the inside out, and it can kill us if we are not careful.
What ignites your passion? Where do you find fire in your practice? How do you invoke fire your practice and your life?
You are Loved. You are Beautiful. You are Divine.
