I’m the Champion of Power. My element is FIRE, and fire is amazing. Everything touched by fire is changed. Wood turns to ashes, and iron turns to steel. Fire transforms. Are you ready to be transformed? To perform better?To be more efficient? Good! Then master your fire! As you know, playing with fire calls for caution. Power is when you release, or „burn“, your energy. The faster the burn, the greater the power. But an explosion is when all stored energy is released at once. That’s total destruction. We don’t want that. Nope.

Just as with any combustion engine, all parts of the machine have to be well-oiled and functioning properly to achieve an effective burn. Disturbed emotions, troubled mind, lack of strength, stiffness or injuries – all affect your performance. In addition, any kind of complexity and imbalance isn’t just inefficient, but is also more prone to failure and breakdown. Playing with power requires fine-tuning and precise control. And it goes without saying, but I’m going to say it anyhow. With power comes power. Not only can you hurt yourself, but you can hurt others as well. Never abuse your power. Ever.

As you know, fire needs air. Consult the great Champion of Balance to learn about breathing. It’s extremely important! Breathing turns me into the blazing furnace you need to power up your mean machine. If you want to know how those Tibetan monks can completely dry out, using just their body heat, wet sheets placed on their bodies as they sit in snow during winter, it’s by carefully controlling their breathing in a process called tummo. Breath, in other words, transforms into heat.

Your liver and brain are very power hungry, so are your heart and kidneys. That’s why you want to eat really early before a game and remain as calm as you can – up to the last moment. Then you fire up and turn into your beast!

Drawing my card is to remind you to light your fire. Unleash your passion and power. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature!
