The other night, while gazing at a fire in my backyard garden, I came face to face with one of the five great elements<\/a> that forms all matter, from the human body, to the entire universe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the flames swirled, and the embers shone inside the pitch black, circular, fire container, I saw in it stacked deep sacred energy … and then transformation and awareness of the primal fire flickered in my consciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, the thought occurred to me that this same fire has existed throughout all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then another thought. Millions of years ago, inhabitants on earth would have gazed upon this VERY SAME FIRE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"sacred<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whoa … then a cascade of illuminated thoughts came to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time cannot change fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing changes fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire is one of the five elements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I reflected on this, allowing the acrid smoke to linger in the air around me, slowly my mind released, and the fire took over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gods and divine beings suddenly swirled within my fire pit and reached out to me. They showered me with unconditional love and acceptance as I struggled to receive it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My small mind, dulled by an all-day throbbing headache, attempted to capture the moment with meaning that I could take and keep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was their message? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are supported by source. You are enough. You are connected to all that is, and all that will ever be.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\"Nurturing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Powerful feelings of belonging, of safety, and of grounding, ensued, as time passed and the fire began to die down. I held my face as close as possible to the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With eternal truths supporting me, there is no way to fail in my work, I thought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I reflected on Anita Moorjani\u2019s famous near-death experience<\/a>. I felt that I, too, received a message of unconditional love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have felt so lost recently. I needed this so badly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh my! I forgot until this very moment writing this that earlier that day, I’d asked the universe for guidance. Was this my guidance? This must be my guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agni, the God of Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And then I realized the next thing. I teach a way of health and happiness<\/a><\/strong> based on the traditional system of healthcare from Indian known as Ayurveda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayurveda is closely connected to the god of fire known as Agni<\/a> in Hindu traditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agni is the power of transformation and transmutation. Agni is literally the power of digestion and metabolism. In Ayurveda, agni is your digestive fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s agni not only in your belly, but throughout your body, regulating, transforming, and carrying out chemical reactions. Balanced agni is the ultimate protection for your immunity and homeostasis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agni, this fire, is everywhere. It cooks the food on our stoves and in our bellies. Fire is one of the five great elements of nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
