Ancient Flames, Modern Healing: The Significance of Burning Bowls

In this end-of-year episode, Kimberly and Vicki explore the deep roots and modern power of Burning Bowl ceremonies. From ancient Celtic fire traditions to Japanese temple rituals, Hawaiian Huna, and Unity Church practices, they walk through why humans have turned to flame for transformation across millennia.

You’ll hear how burning rituals support the nervous system, create psychological closure, invite somatic release, and help you step consciously across the threshold into a new year. They share stories, science, and several variations on the ritual — from the classic method, to the Two-Paper New Year version, to timeline releases and ash anointing.

If you’re ready to let go of what you won’t carry into the next year, make space for what’s coming, and understand the deeper logic behind the ritual, this episode will light the way.
