                 A number of characteristics correspond to each element; one
             is Yin and the other Yang. Also considered are a quality, time, a
             season, direction, an emotion, a part of the body, a color, flavor and
             temperament, among others.
                 This means that when the element is out of balance, we can use
             one or more of these qualities to help restore balance in a person.

             Fire Element

                 When a person with the Fire element is in balance, he can be
             recognized by his balanced openness and vulnerability. He is also
             sensitive and warm. Emotions are expressed freely and spontaneously.
             These are well processed. Conversely, when such a person is not in
             balance, he is excessively emotional and vulnerable. There is instability.
                 Speech, tongue, blood vessels and face are affected by the heart.
