The fire element heats, burns, and transforms. It can also be powerfully focused to a pinpoint, like a laser beam. It is this inner fire that once activated can help you make decisions about your life from a place of power, commitment, and completeness. This fire needs to be ignited and focused to strengthen and sharpen us, so we can stand by our choices. Learn how to do the Fire in the Belly meditation to help you make choices for your life that are deeply rooted and clear. The inner fire–located in the solar plexus–is a place where tremendous power can be generated: The Fire in the Belly Breathe in deeply and relax completely.
Allow your body to be centered and supported by the earth upon which it resides. As you breathe in and breathe out, open yourself to deeply connect your own being with the ever-present abundance of being ness that is everywhere at all times. As you breathe in and breathe out, let go of distractions of the superficial mind. Feel the power at the root of your being, the power of abundance, the earth-based power that becomes the vessel that can support the great waters of feeling and form. As you breathe, feel your passion and your convictions. Feel what it is that you really care about, the things you want to do before you die. Relax your shoulders, the back of your neck, and your spinal column all the way down to the tailbone as you begin to feel the alignment between your first and second chakras, the root and the sacrum, the energy centers of abundance and feeling. As you do so, bring your attention upward to the solar plexus, allowing the energies from the first and second chakras to begin to move upward as you direct your breath energy to the solar plexus.
Now bring to mind the last year of your life–the roads you have taken and the roads you have not taken, the paths you have walked on and the paths you have neglected, your comings and goings, relationships, working situations, health, financial situation-all the deep energies that have moved you. Ask yourself, “What are the energies that have been calling me this year?” What do you feel in your depths is the most important thing for you to accomplish in the next six months of your life?
