Connecting With Our Fire Element

This January, we will Journey with Gongs and Cacao (optional). I will guide you on a shamanic journey to connect to your Fire element.

This is the 3rd of a series of Shamanic Gong Journeys over the New moons through the 5 elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water & Ether.

In many different ancient and indigenous cultures across the globe, there are descriptions of the circle of life and medicine wheels which all incorporate the 5 elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water & Ether. No matter their origin, they all align with the same conceptual meaning. As we are made of these elements, we must be in balance for our health and well-being. We are all different, but if we strive to be in balance as much as possible we will be at our best in health and prosperity and happiness.

The fire element represents our energy, passion, love, joy, compassion, power, strength, assertiveness and anger. We feel fire in our body as warmth, and also see it in our external environment as the sun and stars in the night sky. For many thousands of years humans have gathered around fires to keep warm and when we do, we share stories, celebrate and feel a part of a community. In traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda, fire is considered a masculine energy, warm and powerful. When we tap into the power of fire we can use it as a transformational ally, to burn away the things which no longer serve us, releasing the energy for a new purpose.

When we have too much fire, on an emotional level we can become angry for no reason, or overreact. Or perhaps have an excess of libido, and intrusive sexual thoughts. Our vision can become cloudy, as we are unable to see right from wrong. When fire is in excess in the body we can experience heartburn and digestive problems. Our skin may be red and dry.

When we have a lack of fire we may be unconfident, and unmotivated, lack compassion for ourselves and others, and experience a lack of joy, even to the point of feeling suicidal. Our digestion may be weak, and we may have an excess of phlegm.

This ceremony may help you to connect to your inner fire. To see where you are in or out of balance. Or perhaps you would like to work with the power of the spirit of fire to transform something in your life and begin the journey towards the new year with renewed confidence and passion.

We do this by journeying together, with my words, I guide you on a meditation which will lead you to connect with the element of Fire. To begin to awaken your awareness of how it manifests within you and around you in your experience of reality. Perhaps to understand where you are depleting your Fire energy unconsciously, and how you can cultivate a healthy Fire element balance within you.

The gongs and cacao will enhance your shamanic brain in its ability to connect deeply into different levels of awareness, going from Beta consciousness, through to alpha, delta and theta, the day-dream states where we are still awake yet able to vision as if in a dream. To awaken and to see with your shamanic brain what is all around us all the time, yet invisible to most of us with our eyes open. And of course, I will guide you home fully to your body again, so you can integrate the experience and bring home the gifts and wisdom to your everyday reality.
