Beginning by finding a comfortable position and whenever you're ready gently closing your eyes either partially or fully.
Dropping down into the body,
Feeling the support of the chair or cushions beneath the body.
The ground supporting the feet.
And beginning with a few deep breaths.
Having a sense of settling,
Arriving.
And taking a moment now to visualise yourself in a safe place where you feel comfortable and content.
And in front of you is a fire for you to enjoy.
Perhaps you are in a beautiful woodland sitting next to a bonfire under the stars.
Or maybe you are in a cosy room with a log fire burning in the fireplace.
Bringing to mind a place where you feel peaceful and a fire that allows you to feel safe and warm.
And beginning to experience this fire with all of your senses.
Sounds,
Sights,
Smell.
Take it all in.
Hearing its crackle.
Awareness of the smoke,
The smell.
The dancing flames,
The flicker.
Different colours.
The sparks and crackles.
The warmth.
Allowing yourself to enjoy this fire with your senses.
And as you stare into the flames appreciating the fire in front of you.
Now taking a moment to consider the element of fire.
The light,
Warmth and heat in the world.
The energy of the sun.
The huge ball of fire in the sky.
The warmth that comforts us.
That connects us to the energy of life.
The energy upon which all life depends.
Connecting to the energy of life that flows to the earth from the sun.
Warming and giving rise to countless evolutions.
Sensing a real appreciation for the element of fire.
And also connecting to the element of fire within.
Feeling the warmth and energy and sense of aliveness in your body right now.
And now becoming aware of the fire in your heart.
Your own passion,
Your joy.
The fire that is your boldness.
Your energy.
Sensing the fire in front of you burning as one with your inner fire.
Contemplating the fire within.
The fire that allows you to feel alive,
Creative and able to find solutions to the difficulties you face.
Sensing what matters,
Really matters to you in this one precious human life.
What energises your spirit?
What ignites the spark within?
What lights up your eyes?
And perhaps taking a moment now to connect deeply with that fire in your heart.
Perhaps placing a hand or two over your heart space.
And committing to nourishing and caring for the fire in your heart.
To keep feeding your fire by nourishing yourself properly.
And by staying in touch with that which is most important for you.
That which gives your life meaning.
So that the fire in your heart can continue to sustain you.
So that mystic observer lease that just inside your heart should be farewell sight to the forest.
It is all that go after you,
Inside your heart.
By realizing that you happen to have that tiredness inside you.
