Having said that, Fire Element has four meridians associated with it (Triple Heater, Heart Protector, Heart and Small Intestine), which indicates the importance the Chinese put on the heart and the Fire Element. In Ancient China, it was thought that the Heart was the centre of the body for both thinking and health, as well as being the seat of the spirit. They also observed that when the heart stopped beating, the person died, whereas if the brain stopped working properly, for example as a result of a stroke or an injury, people didn’t necessarily die.
However, although Fire Element has a great deal of emphasis placed on it, that doesn’t make it the most important Element. It’s important to have all 5 Elements in balance in order that our lives, health, relationships and, yes, wealth, are also balanced.
