The Moon was full; it was around dusk when I met up with the thirty people who gathered in the traditional healing circle in the park. The Ecuadorian Shamanic ”Fire Ceremony was about to begun.
I have been to many of these events through out the years, but this was a first in Florida for me and the first
with a shaman from South America
I know the importance of Fire Ceremonies and no matter what tradition they come from they open a new
path way for my growth. The purpose of this ceremony was to let go of old belief structures.
The Shaman blessed the space and welcomed in the Spirit of the sky, earth and the four directions.
We circled the fire and everyone there was getting ready for something to happen, which would hopefully change his or her life for the better.
The Tibetan Lamas, Daoism Priests and Shamans that I studied with all use fire rituals of some kind.
In fact most native peoples, as well as the Taoist and Buddhist shamans invoke the Fire element in there secrete rituals.
This Fire Ceremony was no exception, the Shaman invoke the four directions, ancestors,
the Earth energies, the universe and the spirit of the fire. This ceremony offers a cleansing of energy
field and patterns of long pending issues.
The goal is re-connecting with our true nature of pure heart-centered consciousness, each one of us received a shamanic cleansing. This ancient ceremony promoted healing on all levels.
When coming to the fire circle it is customary to create an offering out of a small stick. Using my breath,
blow this intention or prayer into the offering several times.
One additional offering is then placed in the fire for the Mother Earth.
Each person in the circle will blow their prayers for the planet into the offering
before it is placed into the fire.”
The four main ritual that use fire offerings in the Tibetan system called fire puja :
1.The Peaceful harmonizing Fire it to pacify the results of the three poisons, (worry , struggle and blame) ,
or to clear away obstacles and defilements. It may also be done to avoid difficulties and illnesses.
2. Increasing Ritual Fire Offerings can be performed for both one’s own and other’s benefit.
To increase wealth health and happiness
3. A decrease fire can be performed to get ride of obstacles on the path or even pests like rodents,
bugs or snakes. Also to subdue forces that is harming other sentient beings.
4. A Strong and forceful puji fire are performed against harmful forces. In Tibet rituals these were used
to dispel or subdue local disturbances,
All rituals no matter what system or tradition they come from involve keeping yourself centered and
grounded at all times. I have found that Qi Gong exercises are number one in keeping you grounded
centered and focused. That’s why I encourage all of my students who are interested in spiritual work,
marshal arts or healing to learn and practice internal exercises, like the ones offered in
