Energy warms all levels of our being;
Physically it warms the blood and provides the heat for digestive fire
Emotionally it supports us to reach out to others
Spiritually it helps us feel big and expansive.
In Chinese medicine we have a system called the Three Heater which refers to the functional activity of the organs in the upper, middl,e and lower parts of our body. As a collective these organs produce and distribute the energy, blood, and fluids of the body.
Each level of the body has a specific warming function. In the lower heater we have 'fire in the belly' which is like an open fire. If it's working well we have strong willpower, drive, vitality and sex energy. The fire in the belly, warms the stomach (middle heater) providing the digestive fire to cook, transform, and transport the nutrients extracted from food . The upper heater fire warms and propel the blood and energy through the heart and lungs.
