The Solar Plexus Chakra (one of the two focus chakras highlighted in the Chakrascope below) is related to the fire element which is why I chose the following meditation this month.
Strike a match* and hold it a foot away from you and look at the flame. Be aware of the flame. Focus your full attention on it. I’ve heard this type of focus being similar to immersing yourself into the flame as you would with your ears listening to a piece of music. With intent focus, experience the flame so deeply that you become one with it. That most likely won’t happen on the first try, but it is your aim.
You can do the same exercise, when you are ready for longer meditation time, with a candle, or perhaps that last summertime (or first autumn) fire. Place the candle on a table about two feet away from you at eye level. *Make sure you have a fire-proof place to drop your match quickly and make sure the surrounding area is fire-proof as well!
