You’ve probably heard that if you’ve been delving into meditation for some time, you know that there are zillions of techniques available. Aside from the traditional styles, however, there are certain lesser-known but very powerful practices—such as violet flame meditation.
This special kind of meditation is said to assist in healing and converting negative energy into something better. How, you ask? And how do you even do it? Let’s find out.
What is Violet Flame Meditation?
Violet flame meditation is a visualization technique that accesses the energy of so-called “violet flame.” It is also known as Flame of Transmutation, Flame of Mercy, Flame of Freedom, and Flame of Forgiveness.
The violet flame symbolizes a holy fire that’s traditionally associated with inner change. It’s believed to facilitate overcoming emotional, physical, and spiritual issues.
Individuals believe this flame can heal anything from physical complaints and emotional blockages to negative patterns of thinking and relationship problems.
The Three Parts of the Violet Flame
The violet flame is sometimes referred to as a three-part flame consisting of pink, blue, and gold light—each color with its own kind of healing energy:
- Pink Light: Symbolizes divine feminine energy. It’s linked with the right side of the brain and with the heart. This color—crystalline pink—is all unconditional love, compassion, and empathy. Heart chakra qualities come to mind.
- Blue Light: Conveys divine masculine energy. It’s linked with the left side of the brain, throat, and heart. This deep sapphire blue represents strength, determination, and the willpower to pursue your mission.
- Gold Light: This light combines the feminine and masculine energies. It’s associated with higher consciousness and spiritual awareness.
Why Fire Is a Sacred Symbol
Fire has symbolized change, transformation, and even godliness throughout history in many cultures and religions such as Christianity and Judaism. Fire is the one element that we can produce ourselves—which may be part of the reason it’s always depicted as a middleman between human beings and the divine.
The Color Violet’s Meaning
Colors influence our mood, energy, and even our recovery. Violet, specifically, oscillates at one of the highest vibrational frequencies and is also associated with transformation and spiritual evolution.
It’s associated with the crown chakra (Sahasrara), which enables us to access wisdom, awareness, and divine connection. Violet also encourages selflessness, compassion, creativity, and peace from within—while enhancing our body’s natural ability to heal.
Is There Science Behind It?
According to science, everything is energy—including your thoughts and emotions. When you’re holding onto negative feelings, your personal energy frequency tends to drop.
The idea behind the violet flame is that it works like a “spiritual eraser,” targeting lower-frequency energy and raising its vibration to a higher, more positive state. This isn’t destroying energy—it’s transforming it, just like how water turns into steam when heated.
Thus, the violet flame can increase your mood, clear your energy field, and change negativity into something more powerful.
How Violet Flame Meditation Works
This meditation works by cleansing stuck or negative energy—what some refer to as “karma” or energy blocks, particularly in your chakras. The violet flame is said to travel through each atom, burning away the negativity and returning the original pure love energy of the electron.
This process not only influences physical health but also works on underlying emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
By merging the healing energy of color and sound, violet flame meditation operates on a cellular and even atomic level.
Advantages of Violet Flame Meditation
Some of the strong advantages individuals link with this practice are as follows:
- It lifts your vibration: Negativity holds you at low frequency. This meditation flips that on its head, filling your energy field with love and positivity.
- It opens your heart: The flame can energize the heart chakra, cultivating forgiveness, compassion, and emotional healing—enabling you to release pain, grief, or trauma.
- It deepens your spiritual journey: As a spiritual transformation tool, this meditation can assist you in tapping into divine knowledge, aligning with your authentic self, and becoming clear about the purpose of your life.
Reminder: At times, healing with the violet flame can trigger past wounds or feelings. If this is the case, it’s a signal that you’re releasing something that’s been standing in your way—even if you’re not yet consciously aware of it.
How To Practice Violet Flame Meditation
Get Comfortable
Find a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted. Sit up straight—either on a meditation cushion or against a wall. Put your hands on your thighs, palms facing up, and take a few deep breaths. Bring your attention to your heart.
Set an Intention
Think about what needs healing in your life. It could be physical pain, emotional distress, or a spiritual disconnect. Hold a clear image of your desired outcome in your mind.
Begin with a Mantra
Start with a calming mantra—something simple like “Om” or a Sanskrit chant such as “Om Mani Padme Hum”.
Visualize White Light
Imagine a sphere of white light in the middle of your chest. With each breath, imagine it expanding larger and brighter, finally filling the space outside your body like a shining sun.
Change It into Violet Flame
Imagine a spark of violet at the center of that white light. See it expanding and slowly change the entire sphere into a bright violet flame.
Repeat an Affirmation
Gaze at the flame and say:
“I AM the Violet Flame of presence, burning and transmuting whatever in me must be healed.”
Recite several times—or adapt it to fit your personal intention.
Point It At Your Intention
With hands held out, see the flame flowing from your palms and enveloping your intention—see it dispel negativity and transmute it into good energy.
Close the Session
Let the flame slowly decrease. Close with your starting mantra, and take a few minutes absorbing the calm vibes.
If you’re a beginner, attempt to follow along with a guided violet flame meditation. There are wonderful ones on websites like Insight Timer or YouTube, in short formats that can get you to feel the energy change immediately.
Sending Healing Energy to Others
One of the great things about violet flame meditation is that it’s not exclusive to your own healing. You can utilize it to heal others, as well—whether it’s a loved one or even the planet’s collective energy.
Simply set your intention. See the person or cause, then direct the violet flame at them, as you did yourself.
Healing Past Lives with the Violet Flame
One of the strongest but most underutilized applications of violet flame meditation is healing imbalances from previous lives. These might present as inexplicable fears, emotional tendencies, or repeating difficulties.
To work with this:
- Create an intention such as: “I am in the violet flame, releasing all burdens of the past lives.”
- Imagine the flame plunging deep into your essence, transmuting old energy that’s been forwarded.
Many people report a sense of deep clarity and emotional release after working on this level.
Using the Violet Flame for Environmental Healing
Believe it or not, violet flame energy can also be directed toward healing the environment. Whether it’s pollution, deforestation, or climate issues, your intention matters.
Groups have employed violet flame meditation to concentrate healing energy upon natural areas such as rivers and forests—and some have even seen real-world results. Though there’s no scientific proof of this yet, collective intention behind such practices is extremely potent.

Whether healing myself or working to help others, the violet flame has been a friend in my spiritual evolution.
