Stay here by the fire. Feel its heat on your face, on your hands, on your chest. This fire is your metabolism. And your metabolism is not a stranger. It is you. I want you to notice something. This fire responds to you. When you breathe slow and full, it burns steady and clean. When you move your body, even a little, it leaps. When you eat food your body recognizes, it burns bright. When you drink water, it clears and brightens. When you rest, truly rest, it gathers strength for the next day. Your body has always known how to do this. It was built to. Now imagine the warmth of this fire beginning to radiate outward. Down through your belly, warming your digestive core. Your stomach, your intestines, all softly glowing, working efficiently, gently, without effort. The warmth flows into your liver. Your liver glowing gold, processing, clearing, converting with ease. Into your muscles. Every fiber in your body is waking up. Imagine each muscle as a small engine, humming, warm, ready. The warmth reaches your hands, which are so often cold. And they begin to fill with heat. Your feet, which have been cool and far away, start to pulse with gentle warmth. Your whole body is becoming an efficient, warm, awake system. And now, picture your cells. Billions of them. Each one has a tiny furnace inside, a mitochondria, a small burning heart. See them all, twinkling like stars throughout your body. And one by one, they begin to brighten. Turning up. Waking up. Firing up. You are becoming luminous from the inside. Say these words silently to yourself. My body knows how to burn. My body knows how to warm. My body knows how to move. I am an efficient, awake, energized system. From this moment forward, your body begins to respond differently. You crave movement a little more. Walking feels natural. Stretching feels good. Standing up feels like relief, not effort. You crave water. Cool, clear water, which your inner fire turns into clean burning energy. You crave foods that feed the fire well. Colorful foods. Real foods. Foods that leave you warm, not heavy. And when you rest, you rest completely, so the fire can do its deepest work while you sleep. Heavy foods, too much sugar, too much alcohol, these will begin to feel less appealing. Not because you are forbidding them. But because your body is remembering what it actually wants. The sluggishness you have carried is not who you are. It was a signal. A dimmed flame. And now the flame is lit. Feel it burning steadily in your core. Feel the warmth in your hands, your feet, your face. Feel how alive your body is. This is your natural state. Warm. Awake. Efficient. Alive. And every time you listen to this session, the fire grows easier to find, easier to tend, easier to trust.
