Close your eyes.

Settle into some stillness.

Arrive in this moment.

Picture yourself sitting somewhere peaceful in front of a nice open fire.

Maybe you are having a campfire at night in a clearing surrounded by tall trees with stars above.

You could be on the beach at sunset.

You could be in a cozy cottage in front of a wood-burning fireplace.

Let your scene become clear to you.

Notice the details that make this space so peaceful and so calm for you.

Bring your attention to the fire.

Watch it flicker.

Hear it crackle.

Notice the different colors of flame.

This is actually a sacred fire capable of purifying on a very deep level.

Visualize some purple,

Some white,

And some sparkly gold flames dancing with the regular flames.

Now think about something that you are ready to release from your life.

Something that's no longer serving you.

There is a heavy cloak in a pile next to you.

It is infused with the essence of the thing you are ready to let go of.

The cloak around you.

It is hot.

It is scratchy.

It is heavy.

It does not belong in your life anymore.

Take off the cloak and toss it into the fire,

Releasing whatever wasn't in alignment with your soul now.

You immediately feel cooler and lighter and refreshed.

Watch as the fire burns up the cloak.

The flames burn brighter purple,

White,

And gold.

As the cloak fades to ashes,

The fire returns to the yellows and oranges it started with.

Watch it flicker.

Hear it crackle.

Feel a deep peace filling the spaces inside you that have been left by what was released.

Bring your attention to your beautiful surroundings,

Wherever you have created them.

Take a few deep breaths in gratitude.

Now let your eyes gently flutter open.
