The Violet Flame of Transmutation

What Is the Violet Flame?

The Violet Flame of Transmutation is much more than a meditation. It is a method of transmuting (changing from one form to another) fear-based energy such as anger, hate, anxiety, and jealousy, to the higher vibration where only love-based emotions exist. It is also method of transmuting illness (which result from lower vibrational thoughts and emotions) to the higher vibrations of health. The violet flame is a unique and ultimately very powerful tool for self-transformation.

How Does the Violet Flame Work?

The color violet is the highest frequency in the visible spectrum of light, at the point of transition to the next octave of light, ultra-violet. It is also the color of the crown chakra.

The violet flame works by raising lower fear-based vibrations. It does not simply remove these vibrations, but it transmutes them into higher much high frequency.

The Violet Flame vibrates at an extremely high frequency, and when you focus and infuse this vibration into your body, the lower vibrational energies within your body will naturally begin to vibrate to this higher frequency.

The energy of the Violet Flame will begin to infuse your entire being, on all levels of consciousness. It does not need you to tell it where to go and what to fix (whether you are having physical ailments, or are experiencing stress and anxiety). The energy flows intuitively where it needs to, re-establishing harmony and equilibrium. All systems of the body begin to effortlessly respond to this higher frequency, causing healing on every level to occur. Viruses, toxins, and disease vibrate at a lower frequency. The violet flame cleanses the body of toxins and disease by raising the frequency of the body, which prevents any lower vibrations from existing or continuing to exist within body.

Ok, Down to Business… Invoking the eViolet Flame of Transmutation.

The simplicity of the violet flame is what makes it such an incredible energy meditation. For this exercise, we are going to use a simple visualization. Do not worry that you may not be able to visualize the flame. It is not necessary to “see” it - whether you see it physically, see it in your minds eye, or simply “know” it is there is just fine.

Find a place where you will have peace and quiet for at least 30 minutes. Subsequent times will not require this long, and you will learn to easily invoke the violet flame within moments.

Sit comfortably with your spine erect, either on a chair, or perhaps sitting on the grass.

1. Begin to relax and breathe deeply and rhythmically. Inhale through the mouth, expanding the chest as you inhale, continuing to bring air into the abdomen, feeling the abdomen rise. On the exhale, allow the abdomen to contract as air is expelled, and then let the chest deflate as it is expelled from the lungs. Continue this deep, belly breathing for several minutes as you enter a state of relaxation.

2. Allow the flitting thoughts of your mind to come and go. Aim to mentally take a step back and watch your mind from a detached, third person’s perspective, accepting each thought that comes, and then releasing it. For example: if you begin worrying about work tomorrow, look at the thought from the perspective: “interesting… my mind is thinking about work tomorrow, and it is worrying about it,” simply acknowledge the thought and let it pass. Do not give these thoughts energy by focusing on them.

This exercise does two things: 1) it helps you to become aware of what kinds of thoughts are continually filling your mind, and of what quality these thoughts are (are they focused on stress, worry, sadness, loneness, or anger? or are they calm, relaxed, and peaceful). With a little practice, you will stop becoming a slave to the random thoughts that flow through your mind and you will be able to consciously choose the quality of these thoughts. Retraining the mind is quite simple - it just takes a bit of time and practice.

3. When the mind has quietened, begin to visualize a flame before your body, approximately 2-3 feet high. It is a beautifu flame of intense violet light. It is not necessary that you “see” the flame, only that you focus on it and visualize it in your imagination – in your mind’s eye. The violet flame simply exists. It will never "go away" - it is always ready and waiting for your call. The violet flame often appears in the mind’s eye as an intense, violet flame of light. It may also appear as a roaring fire, or a gentle, quiet flame. Spend a moment to enjoy how it is choosing to manifest for you.

Now, we are going to synchronize our breathing with increasing the intensity of the flame. With each inhalation, feel energy being drawn energy into your body. With each exhalation, begin to visualize this energy flowing out of your body and into the flame, making the flame grow larger and larger.

Clearly state the following words:

"I now invoke the violet flame, and I transmute all fear-based energy to light"

With every inhalation, draw more energy into your body. With every exhalation, visualize the flame growing larger and larger, and more and more powerful as it becomes energized. Continue to repeat the sentence above. With each repetition, you will see the violet flame beginning take to take on a life of its own. It may begin expanding into a roaring fire, or remain quiet as it grows in stature. It may be explosive, sizzling and crackling, or be eerily peaceful and calm. It may suddenly begin to engulf you in its powerful light. These are all wonderful signs.

Do not try to exert any control over how the flame manifests, simply continue exhaling energy into the flame while repeating the sentence. Watch it growing larger and more powerful with each repetition.

4. When the flame has grown larger than your body, open your hands before you and begin to ask that it infuse your body with its light. A simple way to accomplish this is to say:

“With every breath, the violet flame infuses my entire being”

As you continue to breath rhythmically, see the flame expand to begin to envelop you, infusing your entire body. As you feel its energy touch you, continue to repeat "With every breath, the violet flame infuses my entire being."

Often, very intense sensations are experienced. This can range from a high pitched tingling, to a sense of awe, breathlessness, or sensation of floating or weightlessness. Sometimes a profound sense of enlightenment can be experienced – a sense of “knowing.” The violet flame can be experienced as a gentle warmth, or a soothing coolness. Some people feel the flames beginning to rush through their body, as it permeates every cell.

If there is a specific problem that you are having an issue with, then ask the violet flame to transmute it to light. For example, if you are experiencing emotional turbulence in a relationship, simply state: I ask the violet flame to transmute this disagreement into the light. If you are feeling angry, upset, or hurt, ask that the violet flame infuse your entire being and transmute the anger into light.

You may begin to feel very emotional as you experience the power of the flame. Simply continue asking the flame to transmute.

When the process of transmution is complete, the violet flame will begin to naturally retreat, burning down to a gentle, quiet, simmering flame. This may take a minute or two, or may take several minutes. Bask it its glow for as long as you like, enjoying it’s beautiful, and very powerful energy.

When dealing with health issues which are chronic, or with emotional issues which have taken a deep hold of your psyche, repeat the violet flame meditation daily. Although effects are very powerful and can be quite dramatic in terms of a psychological transformation (how you begin to feel about the issue you were stressed about, and how it begins to resolve itself naturally to your benefit), it is often necessary to reactivate this energy on a regular basis. Negative habits, thought forms, and illnesses sometimes build up over long periods of time. Regular use of the violet flame will be needed to thoroughly penetrate and transmute such long-standing issues.

Once you are familiar with this meditation, you can be anywhere and mentally call upon the violet flame within an instant. Simply begin to breath rhythmically, and mentally state “I now call upon the violet flame to transmute all fear-based energy (or any other specific issue) to light.” Visualize the flame in your minds eye infusing your entire body with every inhalation you take.

Making the statement is not necessary, but it does help you to focus your intent. With a bit of practice, you will not even need to make this statement. Simply visualize the violet flame and breath it into your body. I personally like to verbalize my statements – I find it more empowering.

A Final Note

Visualizations are meant to be fun and creative! Try not to exert too much control over what you are visualizing and what begins to appear for you. Too much control can prevent the meditation from flowing because you are not being open to simply receive its benefits.

The violet flame can also be used to help family and friends in time of need. Simply visualize their body surrounded and infused by the violet flame, and ask that all fear based energy be transmuted to light.
