As 2025 comes to a close and we move into the energy of 2026, we're reminded of the lessons, challenges, and growth from the past year. The end of the calendar year is more than just a symbolic milestone. It's an opportunity to release energetic weight and move forward with clarity, purpose, and empowerment.
One of our favorite elements to transmute energy is fire. Fire illuminates truth, burns through stagnation, and creates space for new life. When we work intentionally with the fire element, we consciously choose to release the dark so we can bring in Light.
This simple energetic releasing ceremony can be at the end of the calendar year or whenever you're called to begin a new chapter. All you need is presence, intention, and an open heart!
Fire Releasing Ceremony
Gather the following items:
Create Your Sacred Space
Begin by grounding yourself. Using your favorite cleansing tool, smudge the room or outdoor area and your auric field. Holding your hands in prayer position at your heart space, call in your guides, spiritual team, archangels, or ancestors. Offer them gratitude for their guidance and support in 2025. With your energy centered, set up your fire source, place the crystals near you, and apply a few drops of essential oils to your pulse points and auric field.
Reflect on 2025
Take a moment to look back at 2025 without judgement and ask yourself the following questions:
What patterns or beliefs kept me small?
What relationships, habits or stories are no longer aligned with who I am becoming?
What choices or situations felt heavy or misaligned with my core values?
What emotions or experiences am I still holding onto that feel unfinished or unresolved?
Where did I dim my voice or my truth this year?
What habits no longer support my growth or wellbeing?
What dreams or goals no longer align with who I'm becoming?
What can I release to make space for the person I want to become in 2026?
Write your thoughts on separate slips of paper.
Flame Offering
Holding each slip of paper, speak aloud or silently:
"I honor these lessons and I am ready to release and transmute this energy"
Place the paper in the fire and watch it burn. As the flame consumes each piece, visualize that energy dissolving from your field, clearing space for new growth.
Gratitude
Once the papers have burned, extinguish your flame and give gratitude to the fire element for its assistance.
As you step into 2026, let this releasing ceremony remind you that you have choices, you can rewrite a new chapter, and you have made space to begin again.
