[The fire represents] a light that's burning inside ... in the yogic philosophy ... you pay attention to your light and do things and move in a way that brightens your light ... it's a reminder to focus on my light and meditate more ... also, passion, the fire inside, heat, essentially." Thanks to Natalie ...
