Are you ready to IGNITE your INNER FLAME?

Yaaaaayyyy!! Me too! 

It’s Leo season from 7/22-8/23. We are aligned with the constellation of Leo, a fire sign that has the potential to activate our Divine Will and Unlock our Hearts so that we can fully express our purpose, potential and missions.

Fire is the great initiator, its alchemical, its cleansing and it can be a great teacher as all initiations and transformations are peppered with pertinent soul lessons that usually start from a purification or release of some sorts. 

The significance of working with the elements that make up your body, your consciousness, goes beyond just the physical or cosmological aspects of the Universe.

Spiritual traditions work with these elements to assist in activating your full potential as a physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and multidimensional being.

The Buddhist tradition incorporates 4 elements into their practice, that of Earth, Water, Fire and Air while the Hindu and Tibetan Buddhism traditions also utilize the fifth element of Ether. Egyptian healing methodologies add yet another element called the Void - where it is believed that creation begins and ends.

I personally honor all 6 elements as I have experienced manifestation and deep realizations utilizing them all.

This month the Fire element is activated potently within and around us due to the cosmological forces that influence us both on macro and micro levels. This is a special opportunity for us to align our energies with Universal energies to assist our evolution with greater ease.

This past week I have consciously been working with the FIRE element everyday. It’s been a powerful purifying aspect of my days on all levels.

I do have to admit that it’s not a faint hearted practice, as I bet you know that with any purifying process there’s always the observation and experience of what’s no longer resonant with who you are and where you’re growing.

So I share this with you from a place of love and compassion - be easy with yourself AND overcome yourself.

This morning I did NOT want to practice my yoga and breathwork kriya, but I did anyway.

My Divine will overcame my personal will (the gift when your solar plexus chakra is stabilized) and it became an offering, a prayer to not only free myself from any toxicities but a prayer, an intention, an offering to free all sentient life from toxicity, in all forms. (The gift of that solar plexus energy feeding the heart chakra)

As I finished, I sat with sweat pouring out of my pores (I was in the sun - in Florida - hot yoga anyone?) In a state of pure bliss, I sat visioning and projecting our world as one that is truly free of suffering and toxicity.  A pure heaven on Earth - right NOW.

I was so happy that I overcame my lower self and carried on with my commitment, it was a testament to just how powerful of a shift we can make when we choose to honor ourselves and our spiritual practice.

Below are some ways that you can consciously ignite your INNER FIRE element to initiate greater personal power, clarity of intuition and manifesting your greatness.

1. Sitting with your bare spine facing the sun for at least 15 minutes as often as you can this month. Intentionally absorb the sun’s highest frequencies and allow this light to harmonize your entire biofield (aura). Notice what perceptions arise, just observe.

2. Drinking lemon water upon rising and at lunchtime can be a very purifying and energizing habit. It stokes our digestive fires and cleanses the liver. (the organ that holds onto anger)

When these organs get sluggish our sensory processing also becomes sluggish, our emotional       processing may also get stuck and when this happens we’re less attuned to our gut instincts.

3. Writing down the people, institutions, experiences, media and just about anything that you’re still harboring anger towards and then burning this list is a very potent alchemical process. 

So often we ruminate on things that people have said, that never had anything to do with us in the first place but somehow got stuck in our biofield, in our consciousness or even in our body where it may stay for years. 

Giving this anger, disappointment, disapproval or judgment a voice and taking action to remove it and “burn it off” as my dear friend, Christine, would say, is a potent action that makes space for what is your true destiny to flow into your existence.

Here’s a “Burn It Off” inquiry process inspired by my soul sister Ashley Smith.

STEP 1: “What people, institutions, places, circumstances, memories, media, companies, actions or judgments am I angry with?” Set a timer for 2 minutes and write everything down on a clean, loose sheet of paper. Don’t hold back!

STEP 2: In a safe place burn this paper intending on the alchemy of the fire to transform this anger into compassion for yourself and for all that are involved. 

Compassion leads to forgiveness. Make sure that you process this step and allow compassion to swell inside your heart.

STEP 3: What will you do with the ashes? Be intentional. Observe what comes up.

STEP 4: Now what? What new vision, emotion, sense or action will take up this new space that you created?

Let me know how you fare with working with your FIRE this month! 

I’m going to be sharing more ways that I’m working with FIRE all month over on Instagram – I know, I know – I’m not much for social media these days but I have such an urge to be a positive, bright light in this world and this is a place that I’m sharing that light right now.

REMEMBER - it's our CONSCIOUS actions that make the world a brighter place for us ALL.

CONNECT with me there, CONVERSATE with me there, SHARE with me there.

I love you. I love you. I love you.
