Connecting with the Fire Element , Experience the Dragon Within

This is a meditation from my new book: "Earth Seerer".

Deep within the earth is the most intense energy, fire. This is at the heart of the earth. It is constantly moving. Sometimes it comes to the surface by way of a volcano. When it does we refer to it as the Dragon. With the Dragon are the salamanders. Great caution is taken when working with the Dragon or the salamanders. It has its own will and the force and power behind it is incredible. One of the ways of working with the fire force is through meditation. When journeying with this force you don’t have to feel the heat. But you will feel the power and the energy. Some of the benefits with working with this force is an increased physical energy as well as strengthening the will. It is also a great healing tool to work with. There are certain health problems that could increase with fire instead of curing it. Do your homework, and be sure this element will help instead of harming. For instance if you have arthritis this disease already has heat associated with it. To apply more heat would cause damage and pain. But if you have a growth you could work with fire to burn it away. Or if you are dieting you can work with the fire on melting the fat away. It can help. We create our own reality and if you are imaging yourself melting away the weight will come off more easily. But you still have to diet. This will just increase the power to slim down.
The Dragon in Celtic Mythology is a symbol of power. And when you begin to work with the Dragon you will be able to feel its greatness. Here is a meditation you can do to introduce yourself to this element and experience the Dragon.
First you need to relax your body and mind. Simply sit in a comfortable position and breath deeply. Visualize all the stress as dark area's and as you breath out see the stress releasing and floating away until you feel your body and mind relaxed. Once you clear your mind then visualize yourself on a beautiful sandy beach. The sand is a soft sand color with a hint of pink to it. It almost feels like powered sand, soft to walk on. It is a beautiful clear night. There is a full moon. You can see how the moonlight lights up the waves with a silvery sheen as they ebb and flow, ebb and flow. The water is clear and mildly cool. We are going to walk along the waters edge as we watch the waves ebbing and flowing, ebbing and flowing. Ahead of us we can see a huge pile of rocks jetting out into the ocean. As we get closer we can see it isn’t just a pile of rocks but a cave with the opening facing the ocean. As we approach the opening of the cave we can easily see inside. The moonlight is lighting the way. We are going to explore this cave. As we walk into the cave we notice that it begins to slope down, down, deep into the earth. You can feel yourself becoming more relaxed as you go deeper, and deeper into the cave. We are at a point where the moonlight can no longer illuminate the cave but there are crystals imbedded in the walls and on the ground that are giving off a natural light. It is dimmer but we can easily see where we are going. Up ahead is a beautiful red glow. We are walking toward the red glow. We can feel the warmth but it isn’t uncomfortable. What we are beginning to feel is the force and energy that is coming from that glow. As we get closer we can see that it is a large rocky hole, there are flames jetting out. When we look into the hole we can see the lava boiling and bubbling. It is an amazing site. As we stand there and watch the flames they begin to grow and dance almost taking on the forms of human figures. It’s incredible to watch. We are becoming mesmerized and can feel our selves being pulled into the fire. We are here with our astral bodies so we can join the flames without feeling the heat and become one with the fire. You step into the larva and become one with the flames. You can feel the immense energy coming from the flames and the moving larva. It begins to flow up through the bottoms of your feet and circulates throughout your body energizing every cell. There in your solar plexuses a pure white glow begins to intensify. What a feeling. The glow is growing to the size of your chest now. It is one of the most amazing feelings you have ever had. You are filled with pure energy. Before you, from the larva rises up a gigantic red dragon with massive wings. He spreads his wings and throws his head back with a raw you can feel more then you can hear. All is an intense red, yellow, and white glow. You almost feel totally over whelmed but you are now filled with the power of the dragon so you are able to handle it. You can feel yourself one with the dragon. There is a power and a freedom you begin to understand. Your will has a force of its own it seems. It is time to go. You step out of the fire and as you step back the dragon goes back into the larva. You turn around and begin to walk back up the slop. There is the moonlight you can hear the waves now as we come to the entrance to the cave. If you feel as though you are over filled with the dragon energy put your feet into to the cool water. That feels so good. We begin to walk back the same way we came. Take a deep breath and bring your self back to this time, this place and to this moment. When you are ready you can open your eyes. Write what you experienced into your journal while it is fresh in your mind.
The element of fire is hypnotic to most people. I am no exception. When I need answers or I wish to connect to my own inner fire I build a small fire in my yard. I have a cast iron fire pit my group gave me for a Yule present. It is one of my favorite things to work with. How many times in your life growing up did you sit around an out door fire with friends or family. As you sat there you felt your attention being drawn into the fire. This is one element that has to be contained in order to work with it or it will get away from you and can be very destructive. Always show respect and caution when working with fire.
