FIRE Meditation – Journey to meet Djinn
by Blayze

Relax...Make your self comfortable and close your eyes. Feel yourself begin to still. Become aware of your breathing, in and out, in and out (cont...) Now slow your breathing down, IN 2 3 4, HOLD 2 3 4, OUT 2 3 4, HOLD 2 3 4, IN 2 3 4 (cont...). You feel yourself relaxing as your body slows. You concentrate on your breathing and you feel yourself slowly becoming one with the earth beneath you. With each breath you feel yourself slipping into trance. Continue breathing as you become more and more relaxed...

You find yourself surrounded by golden light. It is very bright and you feel warmth against your skin. You can feel soft warm sand beneath you as you sit upon the ground, bathed in the golden light. Gradually the light begins to dim, it moves further away, no longer filling your vision. You make out that the light is a golden balls that is gradually becoming smaller. Finally you see blue around the edges of the gold and realise that you beheld the heart of the Sun, which now hangs in a vibrant blue sky.

As your eyes adjust to the lessened glare, you see that you are in a desert. Red and gold sand surrounds you, great red rocks dot the landscape. Small grasses and wild flowers, hardy yet bright, grow in the shade of the rocks.

You look to the sun in the sky once more and let your eyes travel to the horizon. You see a speck moving towards you. It grows larger as it gets closer to you. You can now make out an animal loping towards you. It is desert coloured, but casts a shadow as it runs along. As the animal draws ever closer you see that it is a desert dog.

It carries within its mouth a bundle of twigs, dry as the desert itself. You stand up and hold your arms out in welcome as the dog comes towards you, its demeanour friendly. It circles you once and then drops the bundle of sticks at your feet.

It circles you again and then heads away from you. You follow its progress with your eyes and you see something glinting in the sunlight as the dog lopes past a scattering of grasses amongst the rocks. The dog continues to lope across the desert as you move towards the glittering object.

You reach the rocks and peer down through the grasses and flowers. There! You see a small piece of glass, worn smooth with time. You pick it up and go back to the bundle of sticks. The dog has disappeared from view.

You arrive back at your bundle of sticks. You stand behind them and hold the glass before you. You feel the heat of the sun above your, the heat of the desert fills your very being and you begin to understand the power of the place.

The light of the Sun begins to grow bright in the glass and you see a beam of light travel from the Sun to the bundle of sticks. You feel the power the Sun course through you and the sticks ignite before you. 

You take a step back  still holding the glass but directing the energies no longer. The flames grow high, higher than a man. You see eyes forming within the flames and gradually the dancing fire reveals a man, though not mortal. He is ancient and powerful and he stands before you within the fire.

He is DJINN, King of the Element of Fire.

You bow before him in welcome and say, “Hail Djinn! King of Fire!”
You ask him a question about the element of Fire. A question will come to you.

PAUSE

You receive and answer.

PAUSE

Thank Djinn for speaking with you. You find that you are holding in your hands a gift for him. A small token of thanks for this meeting.

You place the gift on the ground before you and once more you direct the sunlight through the glass as you ignite the gift. It bursts into flame and at the same time Djinn vanishes. Both King and gift are gone.

In their place are the ashes of a fire, cold now in the desert heat.

You place the glass in the centre of the pile of ashes. It glints in the sun. You hold that image of the sun on glass in your mind and close your eyes, seeing the glass still shining behind your eyes. You feel the warmth of the sun transporting you.

Gradually the glimmer of light from the glass begins to dim and it fades away. When the image is gone from your sight you become aware of the sounds around you, the sound of breeze and the trees, the sound of my voice. You become aware of your body sitting upon the ground, you feel your breath and the shape of your skin. Let that awareness fill you. When you feel that you are back in your body and in the here and now, open your eyes.
