In the last group session I conducted one of the participants asked why the clearing was being done with a flame. He said he had a difficult time understanding how something like fire which seemed kind of scary was being used instead of light.
This is probably a question that has crossed your mind as well so I am going to do my best to answer that here.
Controlled or prescribed fire has occurred in America for over 12,000 years since the Native Americans began using it to clear land. Fire removes the forest floor of debris, opens it up to sunlight, and nourishes the soil. Fire basically returns health back to a forest.
Some species of trees and plants are actually fire dependent. They must have a fire every 3-25 years for life to continue. Many plants encourage fire by having leaves covered with flammable resins so that the seeds can be released for regeneration. Without this there would be no new generations and all of the trees and plants would succumb to old age.
You are probably wondering what this has to do with fire clearing a person.
I have always chosen to look to nature for the answers to many questions. I believe that using the violet flame on the body has a similar effect as using a flame in nature. In order to remove our karmic debris we must transmute them with the flame thereby allowing darkness to be replaced with light.
I believe healing with light alone does not penetrate debris but rather surrounds the debris allowing for a portion of it to remain. It would be like putting a light layer of paint over a dark layer. The color underneath would alter the surface color and eventually the surface color will chip showing what is actually underneath.
Why not remove that dark layer of paint before we put a fresh coat on? We have a much better chance of maintaining its color and life.
Fire energizes living systems. It is the beginning of a new state of life either on land or in body which is part of a cycle that has been in place for thousands of years. The lighter you are the easier it is to get through the challenges in life and prolong your lifespan. Just as many plants have encouraged fire for purposes of regeneration planet earth has now said it is time to regenerate you!
