“I don’t know why I’m anxious… nothing is actually wrong.” (clients own words)
On the outside, she was high-functioning. Successful. Very Social. Always “fine”.
But her system never truly powered down. Her Fire 🔥 element was running hot.
For those that don’t know, Fire governs the heart and nervous system, and for her it showed up as:
• difficulty sleeping even when tired
• anxiety masked as excitement
• constant mental stimulation
• feeling flat the moment she stopped
Nothing was broken. Her system just didn’t know when it was allowed to rest.
When Fire is out of balance, joy turns into overstimulation. Connection turns into depletion and the body forgets how to settle.
Between her sessions with me, her work wasn’t about doing more. It was about reducing input.
So we focused on simple Fire-supporting practices:
• no screens late at night
• warm, grounding meals
• moments of quiet connection instead of constant interaction
• letting joy be slow, not loud
Fire doesn’t need pressure. It needs containment. And when it’s supported, the nervous system remembers how to regulate itself again.
