the alchemy of heat & fire

hey love beams! how are you? it’s hot out there. one of the blessings of intense weather is it forces us to notice, honor and answer our natural biorhythms. our physical nature is humbled in the face of mother nature. the heat melts us into flowing. we hydrate. our muscles are warmer and can release held energies and tensions. the heat also impacts our brain function and ability, or lack of, to handle stressors and even process information. survival of the body will insist we slow down, move w intention, rest on purpose, drink water and even nap. there is such great wisdom in other cultures that honor the seasons and the way of the body. that was long lost in the west by the colonization of these north american lands. we must be mindful and gentle when the weavings of this western way of forging ahead to win at all costs in spite of inner murmurings of another way, pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and keep going when our deep self is crying out for stillness and a space to release, process, transmute a recent or deeply buried pain. befriend the heat. let it melt you. let it move you in ways that only it can. i’m a swan at heart. my body is most at ease in colder climates and cooler seasons. the heat angers me. it pushes me to edges of confrontation w myself. w discomfort. it asks me to practice what i preach and it’s not always pretty. it grows me in ways others cannot. be gentle w yourselves sweet ones. be gentle w those around you. the heat is powerful alchemy for us all. take mindful breaths. drink water from glass. indulge in a mid afternoon rest. sit on your porch as the dew forms on your body. seek shade. physically and metaphorically. i’d love to hear about your relationship w the element of heat and fire. how does it alchemize you?
