There’s a moment in every seeker’s journey when life feels unbearably tight.
The same patterns play out in relationships.
The same doubts whisper in quiet moments.
The same fears resurface just when you thought they were gone.
You might wonder, Haven’t I already healed this? Why does it still show up?
This is the nature of the spiral path.
Healing is not a straight line—it’s a sacred spiral, where each turn brings you deeper into the layers of your own becoming. And at every turning point, there is a choice: to resist… or to return to the fire.
🔥 The Fire as Teacher and Mirror
The ceremonial fire—whether literal or symbolic—has always been a place of reckoning. It’s where the stories we tell ourselves are brought into the light.
Where the masks melt away.
Where the truth, however uncomfortable, becomes undeniable.
And though we may resist it, part of us knows:
We cannot become who we’re meant to be by clinging to who we’ve been.
This is why we return to the fire.
Not because it’s easy—but because it’s the only place where real alchemy occurs.
✨ Breaking Free from the Old Cycles
The fire does not judge what you bring to it.
Grief. Anger. Fear. Shame.
All are welcomed. All are fuel for transformation.
In the presence of sacred ceremony, you are given permission to lay it all down.
To say: I’m tired of carrying this.
And to remember what it feels like to be free.
Each time you return to the fire, a little more of the old falls away.
Each time, you step closer to the radiant truth that has always lived beneath the surface.
🌿 Are You Ready to Return?
If you’ve been feeling the stirrings of change… if life has felt heavy and the cycles unrelenting…
Perhaps it’s time.
Time to return.
Time to release.
Time to remember.
The fire is waiting.
The medicine is calling.
And when you’re ready… the path will rise to meet you.
