Fire ceremony
Fire Ceremony
Lifting our prayers up to Spirit
During each month, a fire ceremony is held at the full or new moon when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest.
We create a place held by a sacred space to be able to highlight and let go of limitations that may seem to follow us in life. We lift our old stories, emotional situations, limiting thoughts about ourselves and the world through ceremony and awareness.
By bringing these to the fire through burnable objects, one begins to surrender, embrace and honor them. One transforms these through deeper feeling, wisdom and awareness through ceremony and spirit. By doing this, we open up to healing deep layers within the soul so that we instead, can be reborn as a new person and the person we want to be.
We open up to the soul and experience a timeless place around the fire. A place that for thousands of years has brought people together. A mythical place where brothers and sisters met, loved and shared their stories. We step out through timelessness that helps us sense change in our lives and understand the lessons it brings. Fire offers us the opportunity for incredible change that helps us heal what blocks us so we can renew our lives.
It is a fantastic experience to be able to become one with the fire, surrender and honor the things we carry with us so that we can grow out of the old, heal and find new values.
The ceremony is held and guided by the shaman but everyone can participate by opening their hearts and becoming one with the fire. The fire shows us the way so that we become friends with it and feel how it burns within us. The fires are usually held outdoors at dusk so that we connect with mother earth, the great spirit, the star nations and with the tremendous change that is currently taking place in the universe and within us.
PREPARATION FOR FIRE CEREMONY
Before a fire ceremony, one must find a burnable object such as a stick. This offering will during the ceremony represent a problem or a gift for something that one wants to honor or be able to let go of.
The offering helps us to stay in the energy that is created and to keep meditative focus. Focus on what you want to honor, the gifts you received, or what you want to dream into reality. Then inform the offering via your breath by blowing these intentions or prayers into the object several times. Then you give the gift to the fire, knowing that your prayers are being lifted up to the spirit as your object is transformed in the fire.
