Are you going through a difficult time? Maybe nothing seems to be going right? Can you point to things that are happening in your life that no longer serve you? We all get bogged down in life from time to time. Through a process called the “Fiery Bowl Ceremony,” you can unload the burdens that have kept you from going where you want to be.

The burning bowl ceremony may involve the use of reiki to release old habits and make room for new beginnings. Reiki `guides’ participate by whispering in your ear inviting you to grow and offering their help in this process. The Reiki Burning Bowl Ceremony is a fire ceremony designed to help us clarify our intentions and help us listen to ourselves and our guides, and bring in new intentions to help us achieve our goals.

The burning bowl ceremony is used in many traditions. The idea is to write down a negative condition that you would like to see released from your life. Keep this part short and to the point, you don’t want to ramble. The paper is then burned in the container. A second piece of paper is then burned with his new intentions for his life.

Your ceremony can be performed indoors or outdoors, with safety in mind at all times. If you don’t have an open fire pit, place a candle in a fireproof container with sand around it to keep it upright. Light the candle. Prepare as you would if you were giving a healing session. Use symbols, if you have them, and set your intention. Say your invocation to invite your guides to the ceremony. Take the time to be still and connect with your heart and write on the paper what you would like to release. Then burn the paper watching as it turns to ash and smoke rises up. Now do the same with your new intentions. Close the ceremony just as you would close a session with a client. Thank your guides and say a prayer, using the power symbol. Clear your bowl of unwanted energy and remember to take care of it as it is an important healing tool.

The burning bowl ceremony can be performed as many times as necessary. The beginning of each season is a good time to renew this ritual. Know that the Universe clearly hears you and responds. Regularly pay attention to your dreams; create and manifest your life with joy.
