This meditation is very fitting to do around a solstice fire or when working with the fire element.
It is an excellent way for people to heal aspects of fear within themselves.
Relax your body.
And slowly start to remove your senses from the physical world until you find yourself in the stillness of your own mind.
As you retreat into your inner stillness.
You find yourself walking along a path at night.
It's fairly dark all around you.
But the moonlight appears to be lighting up your path,
And the stars appear very bright in the dark night sky.
Although you can't make out much around you.
You are aware that your path is ascending up some rocky incline.
You are aware of the evening smells of greenery and some summer flowers.
But the further up you go,
These natural aromas change to ones of sulphur and ash.
As you climb where you had only heard your footsteps before.
You start to hear a powerful rumbling which gets louder as you climb upwards.
Eventually,
A short while later.
.
.
You understand why.
As you find yourself standing at the edge of a volcano.
You look into this powerful force of nature.
And watch the hot molten lava churning below you.
And as you stare into the fiery abyss,
Your vision changes.
And you astrally enter into another realm.
In front of you a drawbridge made of fire leads into a fiery realm and as you regard this blazing path you leave your physical body and enter your light body.
You understand it is safe for you to walk the bridge of fire.
And you feel no fear.
You cross the drawbridge and enter into a flaming castle.
At the gates,
You are met by two solemn salamander knights.
They accompany you through the courtyard into the castle.
And escort you into a large chamber.
You look around you.
And are aware of golden tapestries on the walls.
And a golden shimmering floor.
All made of fire.
In front of you is a throne upon which sits King Jin,
Warrior King,
Elemental Lord of Fire.
He is tall and broad-shouldered.
And has a long,
Golden mane of hair cascading over his shoulders.
Is dressed in the garb of a warrior.
His energy is magnificent,
Powerful,
Courageous,
Fearless and brilliant.
But given his might,
There is a warmth which exudes from his eyes.
He addresses you.
And tells you that you have been summoned.
As you have a calling.
You have arrived at his castle to be healed of your fear.
He asks you to stand up and come towards him.
You approach.
And he stands and asks you to put out your hands.
As you do so.
He takes a fiery staff,
Encrusted with garnets,
Carnelians,
Gold and citrine crystals,
And with it he places in your hands two balls of fire.
As he does so.
He starts to speak.
You must consider your fears.
What is stopping you moving forward at this time?
What is stopping your growth?
Now where did this come from?
What happened in your life or previous lives which instigated this fear?
Now is the time to let go and heal it.
The fire I place within your energy body will burn up and destroy the fears.
And transmute them for higher purpose into drive,
Passion and determination.
As he speaks,
He places the fiery staff in each of your chakras.
And as he does this,
You feel a light and warmth enter into your body in these areas.
At the root chakra.
He asks you to consider your fears about security.
Any fears about the future.
And your ability to survive.
As you feel the healing taking place.
You feel a sense of trust in the flow of life.
And unknowing.
That your needs will always be met.
At the sacral chakra,
You reflect on your fears concerning your relationships.
As the staff gets to work healing this area.
You feel more emotionally balanced regarding many things.
And feel a deep respect for everyone you know.
At the solar plexus.
You take a look at your ego self.
Your sense of self-worth.
And self-esteem.
If these are lacking.
Then the flame of healing will rekindle your inner fire.
Bring about a strong sense of purpose,
Strength of will,
And personal power.
At the heart chakra.
You consider all of your fears regarding love,
Love of yourself.
Love of others.
After King Jin has completed the healing.
You feel a deep sense of compassion for all beings.
As well as a great self-acceptance and a feeling of unconditional love for all beings.
At the throat chakra,
You look at your fear of expressing yourself and speaking your truth.
The flame of healing enters this area.
And once the work has been completed.
You understand that by expressing your true self.
You will be able to participate fully in the creation of your own life.
At the brow chakra,
You reflect on your perceptions.
And ask yourself whether you have been interpreting things accurately in your life.
As the healing takes place.
You find you have a clearer vision of what your path forward should take.
And finally,
The crown chakra.
As the wand enters the space above your head.
It heals all fears relating to separation,
And brings about a sense of peace and understanding of oneness.
As he finishes this powerful healing.
King Jin advises that you have been healed of all of your fears.
And that you are now dismissed.
He looks at you with his fiery eyes and you sense a great compassion coming from them.
You stand up.
And express your gratitude humbly.
As you have received a great blessing by receiving healing from this mighty Lord.
You walk out of the chamber,
Accompanied by the Salamander Knights,
Who leave you at the drawbridge.
You walk over the bridge.
And find yourself standing next to your physical self at the volcano's edge.
Your light body joins with the physical.
And you walk down the side of the volcano.
Back to the path.
And back to your mind.
Feeling more integrated.
Hold.
And courageous than you did before.
