Back to: Day 18 – Fire Ceremony

Pull out the paper with your fears on it.

Before continuing – if you haven’t finished doing the meditation from Days 15 and 17, go back and finish those. Again, it’s okay if the course takes you an extra day or two to complete because you need time to finish these meditations.

Cut/tear the paper into pieces, with each piece containing one of your fears. You might have between one to three pieces, or more if you wrote down more than three.

Now, find a safe place to perform your fire ceremony (you can do this at a fireplace, or with just a lighter and an ashtray/bowl).

Fire ceremony:

Take one of your fears, and set it on fire. When you do, say the words,

“I’m no longer scared.”

Burn each fear in turn. As you watch the paper burn, visualize that fear burning up inside your mind as well.
