Fire Meditation

Mental concentration: Direct focusing of the conscious mental faculties on a single subject without distractions.

Fire Meditation. Relax and get comfortable Close your eyes and take three deep breaths. Mental Concentration Technique. The fire element heats, burns, and transforms. It can also be powerfully focused to a pinpoint, like a laser beam. It is this inner fire that once activated can help you make decisions about your life from a place of power, commitment, and completeness.. This fire needs to be ignited and focused to strengthen and sharpen us, so we can stand by our choices.

Now bring to mind the last year of your life--the roads you have taken and the roads you have not taken, the paths you have walked on and the paths you have neglected, your comings and goings, relationships, working situations, health, financial situation-all the deep energies that have moved you.. Ask yourself, "What are the energies that have been calling me this year?"

The Fire in the Belly Breathe in deeply and relax completely. Allow your body to be centered and supported by the earth upon which it resides. As you breathe in and breathe out, open yourself to deeply connect your own being with the ever-present abundance of being ness that is everywhere at all times. As you breathe in and breathe out, let go of distractions of the superficial mind.

As you contemplate this question, you may begin to begin to feel a certain focusing energy that you can breathe into the solar plexus. Feeling this focus, allow yourself to become into contact with the energy of fire. Begin to burn away the nonessentials. Begin to burn whatever you are carrying that is not necessary for your growth at this time. Allow yourself to visualize unnecessary materials, places, and activities literally burning away, giving you more time and freedom to focus on what is truly important to you.

Feel the power at the root of your being, the power of abundance, the earth-based power that becomes the vessel that can support the great waters of feeling and form. As you breathe, feel your passion and your convictions. Feel what it is that you really care about, the things you want to do before you die.

Relax your shoulders, the back of your neck, and your spinal column all the way down to the tailbone as you begin to feel the alignment between your first and second chakras, the root and the sacrum, the energy centers of abundance and feeling. As you do so, bring your attention upward to the solar plexus, allowing the energies from the first and second chakras to begin to move upward as you direct your breath energy to the solar plexus.

What do you feel in your depths is the most important thing for you to accomplish in the next six months of your life? Be Here Now! When you notice your thoughts wandering astray, say to yourself "Be here now" and gently bring your mind at the point where you want it.

Allow your mind to receive a message about whatever your emerging priority is at this moment in your life. You are not creating it consciously: you are not deciding it but are instead allowing it to emerge from your abundance and your passion, and from there allowing it to move into your power.

Notice how you are able to bear the heat without getting burned. This is the power of the third chakra--to glow like a coal and still be able to hold that burning energy because it has begun to move into focus. As you offer to the fire and burn away more and more of that which is not necessary to you, you will be able to focus more strongly on what is important.
