FIRE WEEK - Clearing Your Spiritual Self
In nature, fire has the ability to dramatically clear a landscape, yet the aftermath is new growth. Old brush is cleared away so sunlight and moisture can reach the land for new life.
Fire week may facilitate a powerful inner clearing. You have to face your darkness to tap into your spiritual light which might entail anger and irritation rising to the surface to be released. Fire is also related to your life force, light, vitality, action, movement, taking risks, transformation and change.
Action creates change. Sometimes our fear of success, fear of failure or even subconscious fears prevent us from taking action. Look at your fears and take baby steps to overcome them. Welcome unexpected events and spiritual insights this week. No matter what form they take, they contribute to your stepping into the expanded energy within yourself.
During Fire Week
Each morning, focus on the sunlight and fire around you. Breathe in the light/power and exhale that which does not serve your highest good.
- Step into trust and faith
- Meditate on your inner light
- Listen to any inner voices urging you to branch out in new directions
- Change your routines and habits
- Take risks
- Activate creativity
- Access your spiritual allies
- Face your shadow self
- Examine your fears
DAY 15 (Fire): Confronting Fear / Developing Faith
Explore your fears as you strive for light. Acknowledge and accept your fears. As you understand and own your fears, they have less power over you.
Affirmation for the Day
"I am safe."
Today
Be aware of all the forms of fire in your life -- from the sun, to candlelight, to fire, to the inner light within you. Imagine breathing in the energy of sun today.
"A fear named is a fear tamed." List the things that you are afraid of. Write: "I am afraid of...," and be specific. After you have written your list, choose your biggest fear and imagine a worst-case scenario regarding it. Then find a way that you could survive and even thrive if this were to happen to you.
Remember, everyone feels fear; it is normal. As long as you keep facing your fears, it eventually becomes easier to walk through them in the first place. Start practicing.
Good luck and see you on Day 16:)
