Fire Element

All the elements are alive in us, as us. The fire element is a vibrant, fierce, creative & destructive element—enlivening us with its primal, natural energy and heat. Feel the aliveness of your own Being—your own fire—that is always burning, and always energizing you, in this 31 minute meditation.

Transcript

So today we're going to get burned in the fire of our own being.

Let the flames of the fire element of the that aspect of our nature burn through all the old stuff in our system.

So as ever we're going to tune in to the most primary thing here.

The source of it all which happens to be you.

And that means just being aware of awareness.

Aware of that which sees everything,

Feels everything.

The background consciousness or witnessing that's listening to me right now.

It doesn't have a name.

It doesn't have a beginning and an end point.

It's immortal.

It's just that which witnesses.

The center of all.

The source of all.

It's you behind your eyes.

Behind and before everything there is just this witnessing.

The witnessing is in your body.

It's in the room.

It's in the ground.

It's in the sky.

There's nowhere the witnessing pure consciousness isn't.

Everywhere you look as it,

As witnessing,

That same witnessing is looking back at you through absolutely everything.

So as we ground into this pure witnessing awareness,

As we just become more aware of it,

We'll notice it has all these different qualities to it.

Qualities that the body could utilize.

And since it's already infused in the body,

It's a very simple process of just being aware of these qualities and then letting them heal the body.

So we're going to heal with the fire element today.

The burning,

Bright,

Cleansing quality of the fire of awareness.

And we're going to bring that to the areas of the body that are stagnant.

So first,

Let's just bring some more awareness into the body.

First by feeling your seat on the chair or the bed or wherever you are.

So feel your bum touching the ground,

Your sit bones,

Touching the ground,

Your sit bones,

And your tailbone.

And just picture and feel that tailbone being wide open.

Letting all the energy of the earth and of the sky flow through there.

And from inside the tailbone,

Feel up into your spine.

And we have all these beautiful networks of energetic pulse going from the spine into the nervous system,

All through the pelvis.

Feeling the light,

Feeling the energy from the tailbone through the spine and into the pelvis.

There's circuitry and energy pulsing all through your pelvis.

Just feel the energetic movement.

Feel that you're really seated inside your pelvis,

That your pelvis is heavy and solid,

Very connected to the ground.

There's a gravitational pull downward through the pelvis.

And if you can feel that,

Very connected to the ground.

There's a gravitational pull downward through the pelvis.

And if you can feel that movement down into the earth from inside the pelvis,

Feel it down inside the legs.

Feel how the legs are heavy,

Connected from inside to the pelvis.

Feel how the bones are heavy.

Feel the electrical pulse of the nerve endings wrapped around your bones and your muscles and the tissues,

All through your thighs down into your knees.

From your knees down into your shins and calves.

There's so much energy moving through your legs,

Constant energetic exchange.

Feel your ankles.

Feel your feet.

Feel the arches of your feet and the bones of your feet.

Feel the vibrant energy of your feet.

And feel how your feet would love to just open a little bit more,

Like roots opening into the ground.

Let your feet go ahead and do that.

So feeling the weight from inside the pelvis down inside the legs and out through the feet,

Like tree roots.

And there's endless energetic pulsing through the tree roots of your lower half of your body.

And if we come back up to the pelvis and the lower belly and the intestines,

It's bringing awareness to feel the intestines.

Feel right below your belly button.

Feel all this potential energy there,

A seat of your creativity,

A lot of impulse,

A lot of power.

And that power extends up into the mid back,

Spine there,

The organs,

Up into the solar plexus.

You are a powerhouse of energy.

There is a lot of energy in your body.

Your body alone could power a small city.

So just feel the power in your solar plexus.

Feel the pulse there.

Feel the energy storage there.

No story is correct about your body.

You are a total miracle,

A total powerhouse,

Pure intelligence,

Perfection.

And today we're not listening to anything else.

Just feel your belly,

Feel your midsection,

Feel the energetic power there.

And just feeling the sensations.

As you do this,

There may be thoughts and a narrative about what you're feeling,

But those stories aren't actually true.

The only thing real in this moment are those sensations.

And as you go through,

You may find a natural exhale,

A natural kind of like depressurizing that happens.

So just let that go ahead and happen.

You might also find that your body wants to move a little bit.

Energy moves off of your belly and you want to do some backbends or twists or roll around or growl on the floor.

It's very welcome.

It's no problem.

We don't put on any postures in these meditations.

Great.

Let's come from all that energy inside your solar plexus up into your chest,

From the bottom of the ribs there,

Right behind the sternum,

Into the heart itself.

That amazing heart,

All this energetic traffic going through there,

An incredible heart chakra that swirls together energies from the top part of your body,

In the bottom part of your body,

Into a massive,

Massive chakra,

A massive energy center.

So see if you can feel right in the center of the chest,

The massive energy center,

The swirling there.

Your body is already extremely on fire.

It's full of energy.

It's burning through energy and acquiring new energy every moment.

You're a steam engine.

You're a complete powerhouse.

So feel the fullness of your chest.

Feel in between the ribs.

Feel the lungs.

Let the lungs really fill.

Feel behind the sternum and inside the sternum,

And feel all through the ribs into the skin,

And then through the skin.

So really feeling through the skin in your back body,

The spine back there,

And all through the scapula in the back,

And the ribs.

Feel the heat and energy through the back body,

Through the sides of the chest,

And then through the front as well.

Feel the radiant energy your whole chest is creating,

All on its own.

You don't have to do a thing for it.

You're radiating like the sun already.

And the more you pay attention,

The more light energy the body holds,

The more you burn through any toxins,

Any stagnant energy.

It just burns through it.

So feel that underneath the collarbones,

And inside the collarbones,

And the divot under your collarbones,

And up into your neck,

Across the shoulders,

Inside the shoulder blades,

Inside the shoulder joints.

Let your own attention burn through anywhere in the chest,

Anywhere in the shoulders.

And you can also check with the solar plexus and lower chakras into your pelvis,

As this sun,

As this brightness,

As this fiery quality of your own being is more attuned to.

See if the fire of your own awareness,

Of this wildfire,

Can start to burn through maybe a stagnant or painful spot in the chest,

Or a stagnant or painful spot in the belly,

Or burn through the shoulder blades.

When you put attention on something,

It's like it catches fire.

So let the shoulder blades burn,

And up inside the shoulder joint and under the armpit.

Feel that there's a fire burning inside your shoulders,

Inside your chest,

Inside your belly,

Inside your neck,

Inside your collarbones,

Inside your chest,

Inside your belly,

And down into the arms.

As if the arms were catching fire every time you put awareness inside the muscles of the arms,

The joint of the elbows,

The skin,

The tissue,

The nerve endings,

Down into the wrists and the fine bones of the hands.

Let the wildfire of awareness catch fire and your whole body be blazing.

See if you can feel that your hands are on fire.

You are on fire.

Your body is constantly a combustion engine.

It's never not.

Kind of a death and rebirth cycle right now.

And the more you feel that,

The more you're aware of it,

The more it burns off,

And the more you cleanse yourself.

So pay attention to your hands and feel them burning.

Like they are on fire.

Let the palms be on fire,

And the nail beds,

And in between the fingers.

Good.

And then come up into your neck.

Feel the spine in your neck.

Feel between the vertebrae.

Between the vertebrae.

Feel the throat.

Feel the back of the throat.

And see if you can feel when you put awareness,

When you feel into your spine,

See if you can feel how it catches fire a little more,

And see if you can feel the flames lapping through the spine.

Tickling the spine,

And opening your throat.

See if you can feel how the flames of your own awareness start to burn through any stagnancy in the throat.

Any stagnancy at the base of the throat,

Or up at the top of the neck.

And from inside the neck,

Come into the brainstem.

What if the brainstem itself,

Right at the base of the brain,

And the top of the neck,

What if that was just burning with fire?

What if that was the origin of the fire?

And the whole back of the brain,

And back of the head,

Back of the neck,

It was like flames were just lapping through there.

Because the more you bring awareness there,

And the more you feel that burning,

The more you help yourself heal.

The more you reconnect with yourself,

And all these qualities and elements of your being that are right here,

We just miss them.

And the more you connect with yourself,

And the more you feel that burning,

And all these qualities and elements of your being that are right here,

We just miss them.

We didn't fully engage with them.

So let the whole back of the head just be ablaze,

And let it burn all the way up into the top of the head.

So the top of the head is burning like a flame just right off the top of the head.

Your hair is on fire.

Let all your hair burn off,

And let,

Which is like antenna,

It just starts to open,

And open,

And open,

And open your skull,

Open the skin on the top of your skull.

Every hair follicle open.

Every hair follicle open.

And let the forehead,

And the eyes,

And eye sockets catch fire,

The brain itself catch fire.

Feel the heat inside your face,

Inside your cheeks,

And cheekbones,

The bands of muscle,

The teeth,

The back of the throat.

Deep in the middle of the brain,

Deep behind the eyes.

Imagine the brain,

And feel the brain on fire.

Burning,

And burning,

And burning.

Feel the ears on fire,

Deep in the inner ear canals.

Everything being touched by the flame of awareness now,

And starting to smolder and spread.

So that the skin of your face is turning to flames,

And smoke.

The jaw unhinged,

Relaxed,

Warm,

And burning.

Burning,

The teeth burning,

The tongue,

The chin,

The hinge of the jaw.

Let it become unhinged.

Let the whole skull open.

The flesh burn,

Everything burning,

Burning,

Burning,

And opening,

And opening.

Let no stagnancy be left.

Feel your whole head is made of flames,

That there's so much heat energy that's just burning any stagnancy off,

Any grippiness,

Any tension,

Any pain,

Any area that has been dense with stagnancy,

With no life.

Think of it,

Feel it,

How it's all potential life.

It's all like deeply compacted wood,

And when you put awareness there,

Let it catch fire and start to burn and open.

Maybe it's in the back of your head,

Or in your jaw,

Or under your eyes.

Or between your eyebrows.

Let any area that is dense catch fire.

And then let's feel that throughout the whole body.

Let the density of your body be burnt,

Be burned off.

Let yourself smolder.

You don't have to hold yourself in.

Let the flames of your own awareness burn through the body.

So I want you to feel that the whole body's on fire in the best way.

Your feet,

Your legs,

Flames licking up through the legs,

Into the pelvis,

The belly on fire,

The chest,

The solar plexus,

The spine burning.

Everything made of flames.

Your one big burning,

Cleansing,

Delightful fire.

Your whole body.

The chest,

The hands,

The arms,

The shoulders,

The neck,

The head,

The face,

The hair,

The top of the skull,

All the way to the tailbone,

All the way down to the tailbone.

All the way to the tailbone.

The whole spine burning with the flame of life.

As you can feel your whole body alive with this burning,

Beautiful starlight,

This cleansing fire,

Feeling your whole body aflame.

Feel how those flames don't end at the skin.

Feel how the air in the room is burning.

From way outside the body,

Out into the street.

Feel how that's on fire too.

Everything's on fire.

And then feel all the way to the center of your chest again.

Maybe you feel a little pain there.

You can feel all the way out to the street and then back into the center of the chest,

Feeling how there's no spot of separation.

And all of it is a burning fire.

All of it is energy.

All of it is energy.

Alive,

Alive and cleansing energy.

No moment the same as the next.

No cell in your body is the same as when we started because everything's on fire.

So feel the flame of your own body,

But now feel that the whole neighborhood's on fire.

And then down into the ground,

The earth is on fire as well.

So much energy just being moving and moving and moving through your body,

Down into the earth,

Up into the air,

Off to the sides and down into the neighborhood and into the trees.

Catching everything,

Catching fire,

Everything on fire.

Somehow it maintains its form,

But we can feel how it's all connected.

You can feel how it's all just a temporary light form.

Streams of energy moving through at any given time.

And you're being renewed every moment.

So is the earth.

So are the stars.

You're like a supernova.

Energy just funneling through you and funneling through you and funneling through you.

And you don't have to do anything.

You're just on board.

You're just along for the ride.

Keep letting your tailbone open.

Let the top of your head open.

Let your hands be open,

Your feet be open.

Let them burn and burn and burn.

And keep feeling how from inside the body,

Alive and burning through the skin and outside the body,

No difference.

Just play with that a little bit.

Feel way,

Way out from the body.

Way,

Way,

Way out,

Miles out.

And then come on back in,

Feel back into the body and notice there's no moment of separation.

There's no barrier.

There's no wall.

It's just pure sunshine,

Pure awareness,

Pure light,

Pure energy flowing from one thing to the next.

And the more you open to that,

The more you let it burn through you,

The more energy you quote unquote hold,

The more capacity,

The more healing,

The more connection.

It's like putting two flames together.

It's easier to connect when both people are ablaze.

And then a community and the world be on fire and you'll attract others that are too.

And the truth is you're already completely on fire.

You're just getting on board with it,

But you are already a supernova.

You are already incredible and perfect and tons of energy and ideas and information is flowing through you at every moment.

You're just letting it happen more,

Letting yourself be the wildfire that you are.

We are wild creatures.

We're not meant to be contained.

Let the wildfire burn you.

It only cleanses and replenishes.

It only pops those seeds open deep inside your belly and your heart.

Everything dormant starts to bloom.

So let the whole body burn now and let that be a bonfire.

Let this fire be bigger than you can possibly imagine.

Let it be the whole city,

The whole country,

The whole earth.

Let there be no place that isn't cleansed in you and let your whole body so deeply surrender to this.

Again,

Any part that feels tired or stagnant or heavy,

Surrender it to the fire,

Like putting logs on the fire.

Let that spot on the top of your skull or behind your eyes or deep in your chest or the base of your throat or in your lower belly or aches in your pelvis or your feet or your throw those logs on the fire,

Let them burn.

You don't have to hold on to them anymore.

They're not yours.

They're gods.

They're meant to be burned.

They're meant to be surrendered.

And let yourself enjoy,

Enjoy the burning.

Thank God.

Thank you,

God.

Let yourself enjoy,

Enjoy the burning.

Thank God.

Thank God you get to just burn up.

It's very safe to burn up.

The stagnant pieces are what keep you less safe,

Trying to stay civilized and contained when really we need rewilding.

You're not civilized.

You're not contained.

You're a wildfire.

Can let it keep,

Keep burning.

It will keep burning.

But you can keep feeling that burn and enjoying it.
