Fire.....transformation from within


Dear Yogis,

Bring awareness to the navel.  Send your breath there….beginning to breathe in and out from the navel center.  Opening up the whole front of the body.  Looking forward.  Exposed.  Unafraid. 

Manipura, our third chakra.  The place of transformation.  The fire.

 

It is in the heat of the fire that we find change.   Where we are challenged, uncomfortable, pushed out of our habits. 

We started with earth where we became still and quiet –  “aware” of the vastness that surrounds us.  Like a blank canvass on which to create.  With water we introduced movement, finding our flow and beginning to “feel”.  Awakening our aliveness and allowing our desire to bubble up.  Diving deep to discover what it is that will fulfill us.

Now we enter the fire where we give life to our desire.  Here we visualize what it will look like when we have manifested our desires into our lives.  Visualizing it as if it is already here. “Seeing” it clearly and  projecting this image onto this vast space in front of us with intention.  Painting the picture.  And then all we are asked to do is take baby steps…..

Water was the pilot light, simmering below the surface.  Fire is the passion.  The fuel of change.  Going from feeling like life just happens, to creating the life that you want and deserve.   And it doesn’t matter if your vision is some small change or something truly life transforming…..the Universe will respond exactly the same way.  So “see” big!

But it takes inner strength.  It takes discipline.  It takes knowing that you “can” and you “will”.  It takes an unwavering focus.  “Seeing” it day, after day, after day, after day.  Stepping out.  This is all comes from our core.  Without fire, it remains a wish. 

And when we find this true inner strength, we also find softness.  Nothing to prove.  This is the kind of strength that makes you feel beneath no one, but also above no one.   Not a blazing flame that burns others in its way…………. but a steady well stoked fire that provides fuel for action, warmth during the inevitable lows, and a guiding light on the path for both you and others. 

Seeing what I want, every day, with an unwavering focus,
SARAH
