It’s Season is Summer. The time of connection, communication and the highest heat & light of the Sun (Yang). Following Spring’s growth, Fire brings manifestation & expansion into the present. This is seen through everything reaching its peak of bloom, people tend to connect & play, and there is nothing more to be done than relax and enjoy the warmth. Love & Joy are present, in fact, they ‘spark’ our energy and enthusiasm.
The Heart is our ‘inner Sun’. Bringing warmth through our blood and blood vessels, it circulates and communicates with the whole Body, Mind & Spirit. Through unconditional love, the open heart rules our internal kingdom with benevolence. All of the other Officials – because of this open-hearted love and leadership – give all that they are to the balanced and harmonious kingdom of their human. In this way, the Heart maintains ‘order’ in the whole system.
The Small Intestine separates ‘pure’ from ‘impure’. It offers another layer of protection for the Heart. It’s health is seen in our behaviors and how our mind and Spirit are manifesting. Clarity or Confusion, the ability to concentrate or not, tell us if the ‘sorter’ is functioning optimally.
Protecting the Heart from insult & injury, shocks and trauma. As such, it is the imperial body guard. It allows love in, and/both out. It offers protection by giving love, compassion & kindness.
This is the ‘heating engineer’ who is responsible for circulating Qi, Blood & Fluids to the whole body, mind and Spirit. By bringing warmth, balance, love & joy, it offers homeostasis to the whole human.
