𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝗼𝘆: 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 😃

Hi Friend,

If you’ve ever felt like your breath was shallow, your chest was tight, or you had a heaviness that lingered after a long day, even when things are calm around you?

This is for you.

This is important because tension in and around your chest, even your heart, doesn’t just affect your posture; it can affect your sleep, your emotional wellbeing, and even your relationships. If you don’t support this space, if you push through disconnection instead of resolving it, it can create emotional shutdown, which can lead to exhaustion, loneliness, or chronic anxiety.

So here’s what I want you to know today:

1. The Heart and Pericardium meridians are two of the four Fire element meridians. They are in charge of physical circulation, as well as the emotional space of connection, protection, and expression.

2. This area can hold memories of grief, loss, love, or trauma. When emotional pain or stress builds up, the chest often tightens to protect. Like a shield, armoring the pericardium and heart.

3. When emotional stress builds and isn’t released, it adds to the stress burden on your body. It can feel like you’re carrying too much, and it's how chronic emotional stress can affect your health.

4. When this happens, it can reduce your vagus nerve tone, making it harder to connect and to feel joy, even in joyful moments.

5. This can also affect your physiological healing. Bessel van der Kolk, author of “The Body Keeps the Score”, teaches that "healing is relational". Your heart doesn’t open in a vacuum; it opens when your body feels safe. Softening here can be profound.

You deserve to feel safe, soft, open, and connected.

Listen, I hope this was insightful for you 🙂

✨ Don’t miss our final Fire series video: we’ll explore emotional expression, and connection, and I’ll guide you through a beautiful, heart-softening practice to support your emotional openness. To help you reset and reconnect, gently, without overwhelm.

Namaste

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 😮

Hi Friend,

I was just talking to Alexis about how many people struggle with bloating, fatigue, and belly tension, and how often gut issues are misread as purely food problems, when there’s frequently so much more at play.

Here’s what we uncovered:

Understanding how stress affects your digestion is important because if you don’t, you can spend years blaming food for symptoms that are actually nervous system-related. That creates unnecessary restriction, confusion, and shame.

So here’s what I want you to know today:

𝟭. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱, but by your stress response. Meaning that "gut health" is largely about nervous system regulation.

𝟮. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗴𝘂𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲. Most of the messages between the brain and gut go from the gut to the brain. This means that chronic stress lowers vagus nerve tone and reduces gut function, and can also lead to brain fog and fatigue. And when you’re living in survival mode, digestion is often one of the first systems to shut down.

𝟯. 𝗜𝗻 𝗧𝗖𝗠, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿, 𝗺𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗼. Impacting your breathing, digestion, and elimination. When the lower burner is blocked, your digestion slows, and you feel sluggish and stuck.

Imagine feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to your core. This isn’t just possible, it’s how your body was designed to feel.

Listen, I hope this was insightful for you 🙂

𝗜𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹? 🤯

Hi Friend,

I was just with a client, and they said, "My shoulders are always tight, but I don’t even know why." If you’ve ever felt the same, this one’s for you.

That ache in your upper back? The tightness that creeps up into your neck? Your head?

These aren’t just muscle issues; they’re body signals. Your Fire meridian channels (especially the Small Intestine and Pericardium) run right through the shoulders. And when you're under chronic stress, they go on high alert.

This is important because, over time, the damage done to your health by staying in survival mode too long builds up. As Dr Bessel van der Kolk, author of "The Body Keeps the Score", explains, when your body feels threatened, you can’t heal. And you may be stuck in pain.

So here’s what I want you to know today:

1. Your shoulders hold the energy of the Small Intestine and Pericardium meridians, both part of the Fire element.

- The Pericardium meridian acts as an emotional boundary; when it's stressed, your shoulders tense as a shield.

- The Small Intestine meridian affects decision-making: mental overload often shows up in the upper back.

2. When stress builds up, your body can get stuck in fight-or-flight mode, and your shoulders automatically brace as a survival pattern, creating tightness and pain.

3. Tension here also interferes with your vagus nerve, which means you can have less calm, more anxiety, and poorer sleep. Leaving you feeling flat or drained.

When this softens, people often report feeling relief. Not just physically, but emotionally, with more clarity and calm.

Shoulder tension might be your body's way of saying, "You don't have to hold it all." And healing, easing this pain and tension, often starts with listening.

Listen, I hope this was insightful for you 🙂

🗝️ To help you even more, I’ve created a "𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤" video to help you reduce shoulder pain now.

𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗵𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂? 😟

Hi Friend,
I was just enjoying a sparkling water and thinking about how the upcoming season of summer, can significantly impact our energy. It reminded me how much more there is to the Fire element than meets the eye. And it inspired me to share this with you.

This is important because summer doesn’t always bring the relaxation we expect. And if you don’t understand how your body and mind can shift with seasonal changes, you may keep pushing through when your system actually needs to recalibrate. That can lead to anxiety, overwhelm, or even burnout, in a time meant for connection and joy.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, summer is the season of the Fire element, a time of connection, joy, and expansive energy.

But just like real fire, too much can scorch your system.

When your Fire meridians are out of balance, you might feel:

* Wired but tired
* Quicker temper
* Uncomfortably warm or flushed
* Bloating or discomfort in your digestion
* Restlessness or lighter sleep

So here’s what I want you to know today:

1. The Fire element governs your heart, joy, circulation, and emotional balance, it governs your ability to give and receive connection with others. It thrives in summer but overgiving or oversocialising drains it fast and can tip it into burnout.

2. Signs of imbalance include:
- Sleep disturbances, which in summer often come from excess Fire energy, especially racing thoughts or waking at night.
- Feeling flushed or emotionally volatile when multitasking
- Repressing creative urges or social expression can stagnate this meridian and lower your vitality.

3. Your vagus nerve, which helps you calm down, digest, and heal, runs through this area and often needs extra attention when your Fire energy is running high.

Supporting your Fire meridians can help your body switch from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest, and return you to calm, clarity, and connection. Small rituals like stillness, hydration, and breath can recalibrate your Fire energy, without dimming your inner spark.

You don’t need to match the summer buzz to be in balance. You just need to stay connected to what your body actually needs.

Listen, I hope this was insightful for you 🙂

✨ Stay tuned for this week’s video: we’ll dive deeper into how Fire energy can affect your sleep, digestion, and mood, and I’ll show you a beautifully simple breath practice to help ease them.
