Random thoughts about fire, water, calm

[skydog]

In noticing I have a lot of fire

 

and I like it because I get high easily, I feel extremely powerful and it is very quickly healing

 

But then can become a bit out of control

 

So I hear others talking about water

 

The only thing with water methods is the calm is nice but eventually becomes a complete apathy/depression/disinterest in life and feel slightly weak and shy, and notice theres no brightness in the eyes.

 

Fire methods but keep calm?

what do you mean by get out of control?

[Harmonious Emptiness]

To reduce fire you want earth. Water just controls/directs fire a bit. Water is watery, flexible, adapting - this can be strong and/or weak, depending.

 

Fire is joy/heart. Earth is calm/spleen. For earth, think of a mountain - stability. Too much earth and you can't move though, you get stuck and think too much, unable to act/react.

 

Fire can burn up your wood/ambition, so reducing it with earth can help you act on your ambitions if you have enough water to adapt and follow opportunity - this ability to adapt is also connected with courage - the strong side of water/kidney.

 

So you need balance in all of that, including metal/lungs, which give sensitivity to your environment.

 

So, Earth...
