”Agni is regarded as a personality, as that element, but also that being who is able to release awareness and energy and heat and light from where it is being trapped in the earth and water elements and to release it into the less physical aspects of reality.” – Dr. Robert Svoboda
This time on Living with Reality, Paula and Robert :
- How fire is the reason that humans were able to expand
- The fascinating hypnotic effect of fire
- Agni as an element, personality, and being
- Transformation as the key quality of fire
- Digestion as transformation of energy
- Digesting emotions, thoughts, and concepts
- Tending to internal and external fires
- How Bhuta Agni is fed by sensory inputs
- The importance of being mindful when consuming
- Slowing down our thoughts so that we can digest what is going on
- Developing a relationship with our own life force
- Listening to what our organism tells us
“One word that comes to mind is transformation. It gives this opportunity to transform whatever we are into whatever we want to be by working with the fire. One particular lens on that is through the lens of Ayurveda using digestion.” – Paula Crossfield
