Reiki Rays

What is the Violet Flame?

Articles

7 Nov 2013

Greetings everyone! This is a method of sensitizing your hands and purging yourself clean of all negative emotions and energies. I have devised this on my own after practicing it couple of times. I have purged people, places and even objects of all negative and dense energies.

Many of us know, we use the Violet flame in Reiki to transmute negative energies. But probably we do not know why!

I have seen so many lovely techniques we use in Reiki which are a little bit of this and that, taken from other healing modalities! When we consider the colors of the rainbow VIBGYOR – they each have a healing frequency and a purification quality. These rays emit energies which we can pull and use in our daily practice. Violet is the ray of the highest healing and purification. Anything related to violet is pure or God like!

For instance Cho Ku Rei as a symbol is red in color. It is associated with action and the root chakra. That is why we use it as a Power symbol. Sei Hei Ki is blue in color and is associated with the throat chakra. And Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is associated with the crown chakra hence violet in color. All symbols after Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen are violet in color. The Dai Ko Myo is beyond the crown chakra and will also be violet in color.

So what is the Violet flame? And where is it? Think of a fire lit on a candle or the gas burner or even a sacred fire pit. Have you ever observed the flames? Have you seen that the ends of the flame have blue, violet, and indigo tinge? In fact, the violet color is at the base of the fire and is very prominent. This is the violet flame! This is the purest part of the fire. Whenever we burn anything over the fire we are actually purging away the negativity with the violet flame!

Reiki is a mix of a lot of unknown theories and facts. Hence it is multidimensional! So I have devised a Violet flame bath. Try and see how it works for you!

1. State the intention “I wish to take a Violet flame bath to purify or detoxify myself.” Say this 3 times.

2. Draw all the symbols on your target or intention. DKM + CKR + SHK + HSZSN (DKM to be used for those who have the master symbol attunement, rest level two symbols are good enough).

3. Visualize a big bonfire or campfire in front of you. Step into it. If you wish you can visualize the color of the fire to be violet.

4. Stand in the fire for some time. Keep the Reiki flowing from your body. Affirm “this healing purifies my mind, body and soul.” 3 times.

5. Step out of the bonfire or violet flame. You will notice there is and increased sensitivity of your hands. Meaning the energy flow will tingle your hands in a powerful way. You will also sense a lightness and peace in your entire being. This technique can be used to increase Reiki flow in your hands and the entire body.

6. Seal the healing with a big CKR. If you wish you can program the healing for 24 hours. Say “HSZSN – I wish to program this healing continuously for 24 hours” – 3 times.

    If using this to purge a place, such as a house, do you just visualize the house inside the violet flame?

    Thanks for sharing this, I will try it out. So far, with purple light, when I have felt the pain of another during treatment I have sent the pain away into the purple light to be removed. The purple light comes when doing distance sends most often.
    Many blessings

      Using HSZSN you should be able to both send to his spirit at any time and send back in time to just before his passing, if he accepted Reiki or was unconscious. In my practice I send healing to the moment at which a client accepts or requests Reiki, asking that it be given continuously so long as they are willing and it be for their highest good. Always closing with the power symbol CKR to protect and enhance.

        So that is to say, Violet Flame, like Reiki can work wherever we intend it, on self or others. Ethically, only send Reiki to those who have accepted it or are unconscious – because in an unconscious state, their higher selves will choose wether or not to accept this healing energy (but I have always had it welcomed and accepted).
        I hope this helps!
