WORKING WITH THE FIRE ELEMENT
A key part of Shamanism is working with elements of nature; mainly Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Ether.
Fire is a powerful element that has the ability to cleanse, purify, renew, fuel growth and create transformation.
When working with the fire element, I always acknowledge Father Sun for reminding me that we always have the ability to start anew, and that no matter how dark it may seem, the sun always shines, regardless of whether it is in our view.
Depending on my intention, I may meditate or perform a shamanic journey and imagine flames of a sacred fire burning away my fears, igniting my passions, or giving me the fuel I need to pursue my dreams and meet my responsibilities.
If used correctly and with the right intention, you can call on Fire's energy for personal support, guidance and healing.
Here are some reasons why you may want to work with Fire's energy:
- Burn away fears and doubts.
- Ignite and fuel your passions
- Illuminate dark aspects of self and ask that they be lovingly transformed into light.
- Give you energy when feeling stuck, sluggish or down.
- Assist with physical issues by burning away physical dis-ease.
- Help you move and grow through the natural life-death-life cycle by asking fire to burn away debris that has accumulated in your life, such as limiting beliefs, unresolved issues, negative habits and destructive behaviours.
The way you work with fire energy is really down to your imagination and ability to think beyond our 5 senses.
I hope this has inspired you to spark your internal flame and learn to work with Fire as a powerful and transformative ally in your spiritual journey.
