DECEMBER 2021

The Chinese character for the emotions has two parts: the heart is on the left, and on the right is the green and blue/color of life. It gives the image of movement as a surging force. Once there is the constitution of the body as an organism then emotions can express themselves. In this workshop we will look at emotions as a form of light that colors us and moves within and without us. We will observe how emotions reside within the essences of the zang/organs and manifest as expression in being.

Tuesday and Thursday, December 7 and 9, 10 AM – 12 Noon (Online & Live in NYC) – 3 Fires, 6 Directions taught by Daria The Three Fires refer to the fire energy of the universe within our body. They are the Dantian Fire, the Kidney Fire and the Heart Fire. The Dantian Fire is the absorption fire in the lower abdomen. The Kidney Fire is the adrenal fire; it is the yang within yin. The Heart Fire is the Imperial Fire; it is the yin within yang. We are all born with a vital connection to the universe through these Three Fires. Activating the Three Fires awakens our connection to the primordial force that we are all born with and vitalizes our body-mind-spirit.
