The element of Fire: In Sanskrit Teja तेज or Agni अग्नि
Teja or Agni is best understood as the principle of intelligence which causes all conversion or transformation
This includes and is not limited to food metabolism, acid and enzyme secretions.
Sight is associated with the element of Agni. Not only does Agni allow us to see form and degrees of dark and light, it allows us to see colour
It has a strong taste and it is linked to colour and touch.
The gunas or qualities of Teja are hot, sharp, light, dry and subtle. The actions, or Karmas, or Teja/Agni are brilliance, luminosity, penetration and intelligence. Therefore someone with a balanced fire element will often have a luminous presence.
As it is winter here in Perth, it is important to focus on keeping the Agni strong. This promotes regular body temperature and optimal digestive function.
Using your tongue cleaner in the morning before eating or drinking water, sipping warm water and herbal teas ☕️ throughout the day, especially digestive tea are ways to encourage a healthy Agni.
Body treatments such as a warm oil massage and steam bath are great for keeping the agni strong during this season. Bookings available online - the link the book is in our bio
