Since the sun is blessing us with SO much energy at the moment why not use it to your advantage? Yes, all the flares, coronal holes and magnetic storms are knocking those of us who are sensitive around quite a bit, but… that comes with being foolish enough to incarnate on a planet at a time its sun which is doing incredible things! It must be driving the scientists mad because solar maximum should have ended years ago, but here we are still stuck in the middle of it!!
The Sun, of course, is a star… and what do stars do? They shine… they emit heat, light, and energy and Sol is the biggest example of the elemental energy of Fire that we have to work with in our solar system. So the energy it gives to us every moment of every day (because the moon is, after all, nothing but reflected sun light!) also comes with the energetic qualities of fire – transformation, transmutation, cleansing and purification, which we can use.
The light is also very good at illuminating darkness… so we can use it to help us see all the things we have buried and bring them up into the light to work with and clear from our system.
How you work with the energy is, as always, your choice, but here are several meditational processes which can help you embody the Sun’s energy in your system. Do one, none or all of them – you’ll know what’s right for you!
Fire is the element of authority and leadership – so you can also use the energy of the Sun to ignite these qualities in you. And leadership doesn’t always mean leading other people. It can mean developing a backbone and leading yourself…something most of us find a little more difficult! The energy of the Sun and Fire can help you take responsibility for your life and everything in it and it will also give you the energy you need to clear things away and create what you really want in your life. It can burn anything we don’t need completely away.
Fire lives in the solar plexus chakra which is the chakra of Willpower – so it is extremely useful if you are lacking in this area. It can ignite this for you and help you move on in your life with drive and passion and dedication. This chakra is also linked with the personal power, so you can use the energy of the Sun to clear any negative issues you have with this as well.
If you want to use a crystal to help you connect with the Fire element – use carnelian
If you want to work with fire goddesses – Brigid and Pele are two I like.
If you can’t face, working directly with the energy of the Sun … it is, after all, large and very energetic and can be overwhelming if you are having a bad day – use a candle. Same energy, but just smaller!
Notes for the Meditations.
1. Always start by relaxing and focussing on your breath
2. Think about what you want to achieve during your meditation and set your intention – clear intention get clear results. When using the cosmic ordering service it pays to be VERY precise!
3. Always GROUND firmly before you begin!
Meditation One
• Set the intention that you want to connect with the energy of the Sun and take your awareness to your crown chakra. Then allow the energy of the Sun to fill the chakra and flow down to fill your central channel.
• Now visualize the bright, beautiful energy of the Sun flowing out to fill your heart chakra. See more and more energy flowing into the chakra and see or sense the energy and light of the Sun flowing down from your crown chakra growing larger and stronger until you create sun and it starts to shine in the centre of your chest, gently warming you and the whole of your physical body.
• See or sense this inner sun gently increasing in size and intensity, gently burning away whatever you know longer want or need from your Four Body System. If there is something specific you want to clear, name it and direct the energy of your inner sun towards it. If not, a general cleansing request will work just fine!
• When you feel the cleansing is complete, allow the energy of your inner sun to send beneficial energy out into your physical body, renewing every cell and molecule in your body, and every particle in your energy field. Once your body is full see the light radiating out into your aura and your energy bodies.
• Allow yourself to feel invigorated, energized and positive while this energy flows in, through and around you on all levels and feel a sense of warmth, health and vitality filling the whole of your physical body
• Now you need to lower the rate at which you are vibrating, so go back to your heart space and your inner sun and see or sense it getting smaller and smaller and smaller until it is just a spark in the centre of your heart. Then decide if the spark needs to go or you need to keep it for a while. The choice is yours… you always know exactly what you need. So just go with it!
• Ground and return your awareness to the room.
Meditation Two
• Visualize either sunshine or the Sun directly above your head and let the light illuminate and open your crown chakra, filling it completely – cleansing it on a very, very deep level.
• Now let the light (or the Sun – but a very small version!) go down to the brow chakra and see or sense the energy radiating out of the chakra in all directions – back and front
• Allow the light to illuminate any darkness in the chakra, any old thought and behaviour patterns which no longer serve your highest and greatest good and let them dissolve in the light.
• Now work your way down all the other chakras, finishing at the base or the earthstar, depending on whether your earthstar is activated or not and let the light of the Sun clear everything. Again if there is something specific in any chakra that you want to clear, name it and direct the light towards it.
• Ground at the end.
Meditation Three
• Visualise the Sun in your heart chakra, shining brightly and set the intention that you want the energy to be vibrating at the most appropriate frequency for you at this time so it doesn’t overload your energy system.
• See or sense the Sun growing larger and larger until it fills the chakra.
• Now let the energy flow down into the solar plexus and up into the throat and create a Sun in the centre of these chakras.
• When they are full of energy, let it flow up and down again to create a Sun in the sacral and brow
• Repeat with the base and crown.
• Sit in this energy for as long as you want to, then let it all flow back to the sun in the heart chakra and see or sense it getting smaller and smaller and smaller until it is just a spark in the centre of your heart. Then decide if the spark needs to go or you need to keep it for a while. The choice is yours… you always know exactly what you need. So just go with it!
• Ground and return your awareness to the room.
If you don’t have much time and can’t fit one of these meditations into your day, just set an intention in the morning that you want to breathe the light and energy of the Sun into each of your chakras as you go about your day and let it just happen without any effort at all on your part. You can do one chakra if you feel it needs help or just do all of them at once. The energy of the Sun is always around you – make it work for you! All you have to do is decide what you want the energy to do once it is in your chakras – cleanse, energise, transform … you’ll know! Just start believing you know!!
Or another fabulous thing to do it sit with your palms up in the sunshine and ask for the energy of the Sun to flow into your system through the two palm chakras to re-energize the whole of your system. Works a treat and it doesn’t take very long.
So, have a wonderful time working with the energy of Fire and the Sun… and I am off now to try and figure out what I am going to do for the blog on the Summer Solstice next month. It was going to be this….
Ah – once last thing – the obligatory H&S warning…. never look directly at the Sun, please…. Not even with sun glasses!!
