Healing The Past
Fire Meditation
Each of us has unresolved issues revolving around our relationships that linger
in our souls. People don`t always say or do what`s right and it can seem impossible
to heal that breach, particularly when that person is unresponsive or has passed
away. The following fire meditation is a way to release pain and to heal a past
or present relationship, or to deal with unresolved interpersonal issues. Through
this type of meditation, it becomes possible to seek out reconciliation and forgiveness,
as well as to rid yourself of the spiritual baggage that can come when you harbor
emotional pain.
During this meditation, it can be helpful to have a partner who reads the instructions
to you in a soothing voice. Or, if you prefer to meditate alone, you may want to
record yourself reading the instructions and play it back when you are ready to
start. Begin by finding a quiet, relaxing space. In choosing, keep in mind that
you will want to have your back be as straight as possible, either by laying down
on a flat surface or sitting up straight in a chair. Breathe deeply and relax your
body and mind.
When you have reached a state of deep relaxation, envision the place where you
feel most safe. It needn`t be a real location; it can be an isolated private island,
a tropical beach, or a mountain sanctuary. It can even be your own bedroom. Take
the time to really see and experience your safe place. Smell the air, listen for
sounds, and feel the ground under you. When you are relaxed in your surroundings,
envision a road. Look down it and watch for the arrival of the person or animal
you wish to make peace with. Let them come at their own pace and, when they are
in full view, ask if they are willing to heal with you. If their answer is yes,
look at first at yourself. How old are you? What are you wearing? How old is your
companion and what do they look like?
The next step is to envision a fire. It can be in any form you wish: a camp fire,
a ceremonial fire, or a bonfire. As you begin to heal, throw your baggage into the
fire and ask for forgiveness or the closure you are seeking. If you wish, you can
step into the fire; it will not harm you. Release everything that you no longer
desire for yourself or your companion into the fire. In doing so, you may feel your
body temperature rise, or you may shake a little. This is normal. Take as much time
as you need with your companion. When you are finished, release them, and they will
turn and walk back the way they came. Stay in your safe place for as long as you
desire. When you feel comfortable, open your eyes and note the great weight that
has been lifted from you.
