The spirit of the fire is also vital for our wellbeing. Each of us has ‘firepower’ and we either learn to use it responsibly or it can become a source of destruction in our lives. In our bodies, the fire is the energy for life being created by the mitochondria in our cells. The faster our metabolic rate, the warmer we are. Fire is a powerful energy of transformation. Too much, and we are destroyed by our own activity, too little, and we die. In our movement practice, we make a link between the sun, the fire and masculine active energy and we dance to embody a creative relationship with this force. Forward movement is the key here. |
