EXCERPT FROM A FIRE CEREMONY

There were four of us, east, west, south, north - yellow, black, red, white.
One at a time each circled the ever growing fire with a silent or verbal intention to release all negativity, blocks, disease etc. that were not working in her life.  The remaining three held the space for the one releasing as she circled the fire acting out the intention of giving to the fire all she felt no longer needed to be in her life. 



As each circled the fire, arms were flung toward the fire releasing from her spirit, mind, body.  Legs were lifted toward the fire, hair was flipped, backs were dusted down in release in the walk around the fire to ensure we left it all. 




The fire raged as more and more energy was directed for transmutation. After 4 rounds of the fire, we each returned to the H Men for another round of prayers and blessings.  Being blessed we grounded back into our spirit, mind, body - or so it felt.  


One by one, we completed the rounds and grounding. Returning to our places at the altar, we felt cleansed and refreshed.  The H Men continued to prayer, and we silently prayed asking Spirit to grant us what we intended, in that moment, to take on going forward.  








At the close of the ceremony, we felt satisfied.  We felt reprogrammed.  We felt rejuvenated and hungry.  The H Men had a couple helpers serve us corn tortilla and simple sweet tea.  It was a feast.  It was a wonderful way to close the ceremony.  As we sat around waiting for corn tortillas to toast in the fire, we chatted, learned Maya words, sait in solitude observing quietly acknowledged the joy within.  The fire continued its course and on its own abated.  Darkness began to fall, more peace spread across the ceremony yard, and we felt complete.

We wrapped up with hugs and gifts of medicines from our shaman.


 

The fire is now waiting for you...
