Where Does the Name "Inner Fire Therapy" Come From?

In our culture, we learn a ton about the outside world (history, math, science, etc.) but almost nothing about ourselves, who we are, our unique gifts, talents, and purpose. As a result, the innate spark we feel inside, the zest for life, or joie de vivre can get lost. We place so much emphasis on things outside ourselves; the car, house, and phone we own, the partner we’re with, others’ opinions of us that we lose sight of who we are under all that. Inner Fire Therapy comes from the idea that we can rekindle that spark, uncover who we really are and give our gifts to the world in a way that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

In the chakra model, fire corresponds to the third chakra which governs self-esteem, self-confidence, personal identity and personal power. This is where I spend a lot of time with clients. It’s here that our identity resides, the things that make us uniquely ourselves. It’s where we create healthy boundaries to make sure we’re using our energy wisely, getting our needs met and maintaining our sense of self. It is here that we start to feel comfortable and confident just being ourselves, without facade or pretext. The third chakra is where our authentic self can be found. I help clients uncover and step into their authentic selves. 

Fire is the element of purification. In sanskrit, there is a mantra: Om Namo Narayana. Narayana is the flame of truth, so I translate the mantra as “I bow to the flame of truth.” How much nonsense is there in the world? As we grow up, we absorb much of it and it becomes how we define ourselves; whether according to religion, our parents ideas of who we should be, what we learn in school, etc. Our inner fire, in our desire for truth, can burn away all that is not true, leaving simply that which is pure and our true nature. By releasing the things that no longer serve us (untruth, conditioning, etc.) we remember who we really are.
