The solar plexus is named for Sol, the Latin word for Sun. The tetrahedron is a polyhedron with 4 triangularfaces. It represents the element of fire. Fire releases heat through a process known as combustion. The sun is our primary source of energy, heat and light. 

Over 13 billion years ago, a giant explosion scattered stardust across the cosmos, birthing billions of galaxies containing trillions of stars, planets, moons and black holes. Eight billion years later, in the Milky Way galaxy, a special star was born in an area known as Orion’s Arm. This star grew hotter and stronger until it fused stardust and gas into planets and rocks. 

When this star’s fiery energy created a forcefield strong enough for planets to orbit around it, it became a Sun. 

Our Sun is the only star in our Solar System. There are 200-400 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy and 3,200 solar systems. Our Sun’s solar system is the only one that contains life.

The Sun’s surface maintains a core temperature that reaches 27 million degrees. It is a gaseous ball of hydrogen & helium, which is held together by its own gravity. Like the Sun, our digestive system maintains an internal temperature of 98.6° Fahrenheit. It functions as an internal power plant.

The Sun was central to most cultures around the world for its life-giving properties. By recording the sun’s movement, they determined the dates of the equinoxes and solstices. These ancient astronomers created solar calendars to track the seasons of the year as they shifted from hunter-gatherers to agricultural societies. This shift marked the beginning of the Arian Age, which began around 2100 BCE. It was seen as an age of fire and war. It was also when the Egyptian Pharaoh, Akhenaten decreed the Sun God Aten-Ra as the one supreme deity. The Romans also revered the Sun as Sol Invictus, “the invincible one”. When the Roman’s replaced their nature-based belief system with a Christian God, the Sun was associated with God as the Son who was born on the Winter Solstice. The Winter Solstice celebrates the rebirth of the Sun.

We must honor our fiery nature and use it for peaceful power.

Message: Fire and sunlight hold life-giving properties that feeds our soul. It is important for us to become more conscious of the foods we eat as well as the thoughts and intentions we take in. Create a sacred fire ceremony to cleanse the emotional and energetic body. Meditate with fire to balance the power growing within. Honor the Sun for the joy and life that it brings. Become conscious of how to manifest this energy within us.

“Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience.” – George Washington
