So, on Solstice Day a crystal meditation with a stone associated with Fire because this is one of the special days that this element is up front and personal for all of us! The sun is high in the sky for the longest period of time in the whole year!
Depending on which website you visit, and whose opinion you value, there is a long list of stones that resonate with the Fire Element. My personal favourite is Carnelian, so this is the stone I recommend to use for this exercise.
- Sit with a carnelian in each palm and relax, focussing on your breath, setting the intention that with each in breath you take in the bright, vibrant orange energy of this beautiful stone.
- See or sense this energy flowing in through your palm chakras, up your arms to your shoulders, and from there, flowing out to fill the whole of your body.
- Now set the intention to connect with the Fire energy held by your carnelians. This vibration is different to the vibration of your crystals and you may well become aware of this as you tune in. It is perfectly normal if you feel two separate frequencies! And, also, perfectly normal to only be aware of one… nothing is ever wrong when you work with crystals. There is only ever you and the energy and how you interact with it!
- Now take your awareness to the base chakra and visualise a small flame in the vortex, setting the intention that you want to use the Fire energy in your carnelians to cleanse this chakra. Breathe the energy in to the chakra and place one of the stones at the base chakra to enhance this effectiveness of the exercise.
- After a while, when you get the feeling the cleansing has finished, make the flame bigger, so it expands and rises up to touch the sacral chakra, cleansing it. Also, hold the second carnelian over the chakra, leaving the original one at the base to support the energy of your flame.
- When you get the feeling this chakra had been cleansed, make the flame even bigger, so it expands and rises up to touch the solar plexus chakra, and cleanse it. And, move the carnelian from the sacral chakra to the solar plexus, still leaving the original one at the base chakra to support the energy of your flame.
- Sit with your flame, letting the energy of Fire burn away anything you do not want to carry forward into your next cycle of growth.
- When you have finished, visualise the flame growing smaller and smaller, earth any excess energy in your system and ground. Then thank the Fire Element and your lovely carnelians and return your attention to your body.
If you are familiar with the Violet Flame of Transformation, you can do this exercise with two amethysts and visualise this specific flame, invoking the energy which is held in your two amethysts. It is a Violet Flame crystal.
Have a fantastic day!
Bright Blessings!
