For our ancestors, fire must have seemed magical: it brought us together, encouraged us to share stories, reflect, and enter deep meditative silence. The ever-changing nature of the flames until this very day speak to us of the magical and ephemeral nature of reality.
The violet flame is a powerful symbol and form of imagery that can be used as a catalyst for our spiritual journeys. The reason for this is that it creates the space necessary for healing any soul blockages we carry, and it makes use of two important tools: the healing properties of color and sound.
Of all colors, violet has one of the highest vibrational frequencies. Violet is a combination of blue and red and helps promote spiritual growth, universal love, imagination, creativity and the integration of ideas. Not only that, but the color violet stimulates our openness to divine wisdom, promotes selflessness and speeds up our natural healing process. The color violet is usually associated with transformation.
It is not surprising then that violet connects us to the Sahasrara, or crown chakra within our energy fields which is generally considered the seventh primary chakra, according to most tantric yoga traditions. Violet is also the color of the seventh ray which is a concept that has appeared in several religions and esoteric philosophies.
Visualize at the center of your being, a sphere radiating flames of white light. As you breath deeper, notice how these flames burn brighter and brighter with each breath, turning into a blazing white sun.
Continue repeating this breathwork until the sun has grown so big, it is a sphere of white flames that surrounds your whole body, above your head and below your feet, and extends at least three or more feet away from you.
In the center of this blazing white sun, visualize a small violet spark. Watch as this small spark gently grows and spreads over the white flames, slowly transforming the white light into a dazzling sun of violet flames.
If the intention you set in step one is not a personal one, but a social or global one, bring the image of the external problem into your violet flame. This is where the visual aid you chose may help.
Step 1. Bring the Violet Flame into your body. Ask your Higher Self, a Master, Guide, or Angel to assist you to do so, or just ask the Flame to "be made manifest", whichever is most comfortable. It is helpful to visualise it (doesn't matter if you can or cannot actually see it), or pretend that there is a ball of violet fire above your head. Then ask that ball of fire to come into your body and fill every speck of your entire body.
Next, there is such a thing called violet flame meditation which gets a little wackier. This is based on the belief that there is an invisible spiritual energy within a violet flame that can totally transform a person's life. This is part of the very New Age field of color healing where violet is believed to have the highest "frequency" as well as the power to transmute the negative karma we acquired through the ages into positive energy.
Violet flame meditation is more of a visualization exercise and is conducted by reciting an opening invocation: "In the name of God, in the name of the Christ who is in me, in the name of the Holy Spirit, I invoke the violet flame and I ask the angels of the violet flame to... [make your requests for yourself, your family, your friends, your city, your country, the planet, as you wish]"
The practitioner is to visualize their heart glowing and emitting light rays like a sun, then repeat mantras or decrees for at least 15 minutes which remaining focused on visualizing a violent flame surrounding themselves. People needing a healing of some kind are to visualize the violet flame flowing through their arteries and healing them.
Although these prayers refer to the God within, they are not referring to the Christian understanding of the God within - which is that God inhabits the souls of the baptized via grace. Rather, violet flame meditation refers to the New Age understanding of the indwelling God, which is that all of us have the divine within us and need only to find ways to claim that divinity and thus become the god we were always meant to be.
Another version of flame meditation is known as Tratak which involves meditating on a candle flame with the belief that the light emitted from the flame is caught in the lens of the eye which conducts the light and energy through the optical nerves to the lobes at the rear of the brain. This serves to increase the energy in the Pineal gland, also known as the Third Eye (a mystical and esoterical concept that posits this as a kind of gateway to higher consciousness and psychic ability) and improves its function. Practitioners claim the Hindu scriptures say the practice of Tratak develops greater intuition into the past, present and future.
Practicing Tratak is similar to other forms of flame meditation in that a person focuses on the flame for as long as possible without blinking. When one has to close the eyes, they should focus on the after-effect of the flame glow behind their closed eyes and notice how it changes size and/or color. When it disappears, they are to open the eyes and start the process all over. Whenever thoughts arise, they are to be pushed away and the concentration returned to the flame. This practice allegedly produces feelings of deep peace and relaxation and will eventually bring about a deeper knowledge of the Self, all leading to the path to Enlightenment.
The Violet Flame is called the flame of mercy, transmutation and freedom, is located in our energy field and surrounds our physical body. This flame is a majestic purple and can be invoked by intention or saying spiritual prayers known as decrees. It can transmute or transform any low vibrational emotion or thought pattern that is inhibiting your expansion and growth. It can resolve karmic issues and free us from repeating the same mistakes over and over in this or future lifetimes. The flame burns away or dissolves karmic repercussions before they come back to us which lessens their negative effect on our lives. The violet flame can also remove negative emotions or thoughts by upgrading their energetic signature to a higher frequency. It is essentially an auric cleanser and removes any dense energy that is limiting your magnificent potential. The violet flame can ease anxiety, create peace in a chaotic situation and help all beings on earth to live in harmony. This spiritual energy is accessible to every living being and simply needs to be ignited and brought to your awareness. By saying the decrees daily, you will strengthen the powers of the violet flame within your energy field and transmute anything that is limiting your spiritual advancement.
It is suggested to repeat the decrees for 15 minutes per day. You can say them as part of your meditation, while driving in the car, as you cook your meals, while using a mala necklace, or while taking a shower. You see, the possibilities are endless as to how you can integrate this powerful practice into your life. By speaking the decrees, you invoke The Violet Flame within your field and expand it outwards. For worldly issues, you can visualize the planet in the center of The Violet Flame and focus on the frequencies of peace and harmony. If there are any personal issues you are experiencing, invoke the flame and ask for it to remove any obstacles you may be facing. This is a powerful spiritual tool that is waiting to assist you on your journey here!
Once you are familiar with the decree, you can close your eyes while giving it and concentrate on visualizing the violet flame. See yourself before a large bonfire, about nine feet high and six feet wide. Color it violet in your imagination, and see the flames pulsating and undulating in endless shades of violet with gradations of purple and pink. Then see yourself stepping into the flame, so the violet flame is where you physically are. See your body as transparent, with the flames curling up from beneath your feet, passing through and around your body, clear up over your head.
Even a few minutes of violet flame will produce results, but persistence is needed to penetrate age-old habits you would like to change. You can start out with just a few minutes of violet flame in the morning to help you through the day, and you can add the violet flame to whatever prayers or meditations you currently practice.
When praying, for instance, for a loved one who has cancer, you can send the violet flame to that loved one and to every single person on earth who is burdened by the same disease. It takes no more prayer work to ask for cancer to be eradicated from the planet than it takes to ask for the healing of one person.
The violet flame begins to work as soon as you invoke it. It takes varying amounts of time to see results. Our prayers are always answered, but it may not be in the way we expect. The answer may come in the form of guidance to do something that will help you achieve what you have prayed for.
Optional: Obtain visual aids such as photographs, magazine clippings or a map related to the focus of your meditation. These will help you in step 9 to visualize sending the violet flame into these situations.
See a tiny violet flame in the center of your heart, the rays of violet fire slowly spreading outward from this flame until they completely transform the white light into a dazzling sun of violet fire.
