Flame
Pairing: Loki Laufeyson x Reader
Summary: Sometimes you just need an inner advisor.
Warnings: Angst/Comfort, soft!Loki, insecurities, hurt, self deprecation implied, fire, no use of y/n
A/N: Hi Loves! This is heavily inspired by my own personal inner advisor which was created in my EMDR therapy session and was envisioned as Loki who told me to burn everything :), I hope you all enjoy this, it was heavily self indulgent but I hope it helps other people too! Enjoy <3
Tumblr media
A chill crept up your spine, settling into your bones as you settled into the cool empty sheets which line your bed. Your eyes close as your bottom lip trembled, trying to push back the tsunami waves of emotions that threaten to spill. It had been a week of pure hell and tonight was your tipping point. The way you had heard the whispers of people as you passed, each one coming from a poisonous tongue. The glances and whispers held high distaste and made your mouth and mind sour.
It plagued you for the day, no matter the task, no matter the smallest minute detail, you would see it imperfect, full of flaws and how helpless you were. It turned your day around, changing your hopes and expectations for the day to something rotten.
You were unsure when you had stopped weeping and had fallen into the blissfulness of sleep. Hadn’t realized you was asleep as she still felt the wet streams that stained your flesh and still felt the coolness of your sheets beneath you.
“What is troubling you, my darling?”
It stirred you, your heart spiking at the intrusive presence invading you. As you sprang up, hands holding up your weight as you sat up right. You weren’t sure what had startled you more, the new presence stood in front of you or the liquid held by a void that surrounded your body.
“No need to be frightened, I am not here to cause you harm. Quite the opposite in fact.” He had assured you, dropping down in a squatting position.
You stared at him, eyes wide and unmoving. Your mind was racing before it settled. Dream. You’re dreaming, clearly you must be asleep and this is nothing other than your brain creating this image in front of you. How else could you explain him?
“Loki?” It was the only word you were capable of speaking.
He only replied with a smile, one much softer than you see depicted in the movies. Often they would paint him as a villain, someone who wishes fit the hero’s downfall. You could see a little bit of yourself in him, in his insecurities, in his behavior, maybe that’s why he’s appearing to you now.
“Indeed.” He confirmed, extending his hand out for you, which you take.
“What’s going on? Why are you in my dream? Why is it so cold?” You question, noticing the steam your warm breath created.
“A curious thing,” he chuckles, lifting you to your feet. “You may think of this as your soul, yes? And I, as your inner advisor.”
“My inner… what?”
“Inner advisor. I am able to make your unconscious mind accessible to you. Guide you to support, resolutions, whatever you may seem to desire.” His voice spoke softly as his thumb brushed over your knuckles.
You closed your eyes again, taking a deep breath and inhaling the scent of oak and sandalwood, something you had only imagine might stick to his forest green Asgardian leather.
“Okay, sure. But why is it so cold?”
“You’re flame has been extinguished. You’re sense of self, corrupted.” He explains, smile etched to his features as he squeezed your hand in his.
“I’ve come to repair your flame, my darling. Slowly. But I will to my best to nurture and guide you so that it may become a blaze.”
With a flick of his hand a spark emerged within your palm that held his. His and holding the back of ours so that both your palms had been raised as the fire began. There was no pain, no numbness, just a tingle that started in your palm and ended in the nerves of your fingertips.
“It will take time to develop, but I shall be here every step, beside you shall you have a need for my guidance.” He explains, his eyes falling to the small flame.
“Thank you, Loki.” You whisper, turning your gaze to him.
He shook his head, his free hand raising in a stop gesture. His eyes held a sense of pure, genuine, affection. The flame grew slightly just by the feeling of his emotion seeping into the pores of your skin.
“There is no need to thank me. You are the person capable of improvement, I am merely here to help you if you falter.” He explained, his hand lowering to support your hand holding the flame.
“You, my dear, are stronger than you may believe. Bravery that would rival that of any warrior. You are plenty worthy to keep this blaze aflame. Worthy to wield Mjölnir. And most importantly, you are loved. Even when battling you’re darkest enemy, you will remain loved, even if just by me.”
You felt you’re eyes burn, not willing to try and stop the tears that flood your eyes and fall down your face. Your freehand coming up to cover your mouth as you sobbed. The feeling of Loki’s lips pressing against your forehead only made you sob harder.
“I plead with you, no more tears need to be shed.” He softly cooed, lifting a hand to thumb away the tears that fell.
“I will be here when you return again.” He swore, placing a purger kiss to your temple.
As his body began to dissipate into the darkness, you held into his hand almost as if pleading with him to not leave you alone again.
“And Darling? Burn everything.”
The words rang in your head as you’re eyes shot open, jolting up from your lying position. You’re eyes take in you’re empty room as the only light came from the sun as it streams in through your window. You’re eyes slowly cast down to your palm, feeling you’re heart clench before clutching your palm to your chest.
“Thank you, Loki.”

how to begin + propel your healing journey ✨
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. Set your intention from a space of love: Even if your love for yourself isn't yet as deep as it can be, love is the strongest foundation you can place your intentions to heal on. Don't make your intentions to compete with others, blend in with the status quo, or even get someone else's approval. Do it because you're interested, passionate, or maybe just curious in your potential to be transform💫
2. Identify one area of life which is detrimental to your healing and you have the spark of interest to change: Maybe you aren't happy with the way you eat. Maybe you spend too much time inside and on your phone. Maybe you could use more self-care and attention to your needs in your life. Maybe you could be more tidy. Maybe you need to get more restful sleep. Maybe you speak too negatively to yourself❤️‍🩹
3. Devote your life to information from pioneers/teachers/mentors you feel guided towards and deeply inspired by: Teaching is a sacred exchange. Apprenticeships require devotional study so it's important to make a careful selection of who you study under. Your teacher should be truly benevolent and humble, and there should be an understanding that we always have more to learn and no one is omniscient. So, one's lessons should always empower you to expand from the wisdom they have built. If it is not a teacher you are getting face-to-face guidance from: Read their books. Watch their YouTube videos. Listen to their podcasts/interviews. Follow their accounts. Learn what changes & shifts you need to make in order to bring about healing and discovery in your life🌌
4. Get in touch with your higher self for inner guidance: One big mistake that people make is carbon copying people's routines or guidelines. They ignore all the intuitive nudges and end up going down a path towards ultimate dissatisfaction or harm to their body. Each of us has a unique course that's most fulfilling for us. People may be experienced in a certain field, but no one is an expert in you...except your higher self. Learn to listen to that gut feeling, those synchronicities, downloads, dreams, "apparent" roadblocks, pains & aches in the body, etc🧚🏾‍♀️
5. Lead each step with the spirit of your inner child: Make healing a joyful experience full of experimentation. It naturally invites discipline to develop. Get outside more by deciding to observe animals. Get to sleep early by making it a scientific experiment in your journal. Get excited with your meal prep by focusing on creativity with the flavors. Make your life towards healing a game in the most positive sense. There is no failure. The start over button is always available. And if you didn't meet the mark to get to the next level, you've been accumulating information to help you get closer to succeeding📈

Visualisations with "inner guides"
Over twenty years ago, I learned something in psychotherapy: visualisations with »inner guides«.
The idea is quite simple: You invent some kind of helpful person or animal or another entity whom you can trust and then you visualise having conversations with them. This inner guide may have a different perspective on your problems and help you solve them - or at least find a state of mind with which you can better deal with them. If you cannot visualize, because of aphantasia or something else, you could also try to hear the conversation you have with your inner guide instead of visualizing them.
You could say, that you tap into your inner wisdom while talking with such a guide, or into the Collective Unconscious. And this can be easier with a visualisation or a similar method, than in your every-day state of mind.
I am a spiritual person and these days, I differenciate between spirit guides and inner guides: The inner guides are made-up, a product of my imagination. The spirit guides are real entities (at least in my personal experience or my unverified personal gnosis).
The therapist who told me about this mentioned that some religious folks use angels as such inner guides, so the line between imaginary guides and spirit(ual) guides gets blurry there.
In 2019, I chose a fictional character whom I really like, as an inner guide and I am glad I did, because this has helped me a lot.
My hyperfixation on Good Omens has given me the idea to use Aziraphale and Crowley as inner guides, too.
I think it might be really interesting to have two such polar opposites and see their different viewpoints on things. There is this well-known image of a tiny angel on one shoulder, whispering in your ear and the devil (or a demon) is also there, whispering in your other ear and both try to persuade you to do some things (or not do them).
So I tried a respective visualisation last night. In it, we met in the book shop, Aziraphale was very welcoming and offered me a cup of tea, as he would. Crowley on the other hand was sarcastic and thought-provoking – as he would be. This visualisation was helpful to me, so I am looking forward to more such conversations with them.

We Can Receive Guidance and Insight In the Silence of Meditation -- Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast
Tumblr media
Through silence meditation we can "step outside the box." Silence speaks volumes. The practice of receiving inner guidance or hearing the Voice or Life Impulse of God in the silence of contemplation is a universal teaching of all great saints and mystics. "Learn to sit still and be mentally still, and the silence thus generated with be more vocal than words spoken and written; and you will have an instantaneous solution not only to your own personal problems but to the problems of others as well." (Sant Kirpal Singh) "To be pure and still means to be open to purity and stillness -- as a result you can intuit the truth." (The Jesus Sutras) "If somehow this mind can become quiet by itself, attainment of true knowledge -- like diamond will become easily possible [everyone in this world is sad and restless because of lack of true knowledge. This true knowledge can be attained only when the mind becomes quiet]." (Kabir)

Meditation is a wonderful tool to get still and present. We often hear in spiritual texts that the answers you seek are in the silence. This is so true, the silence isn’t an empty space, it is full of potential. It even makes sense from a logical perspective - answers and solutions have difficulties to arise when a lot of noise and disturbance, e.g. through overthinking or rumination are present.⠀
I have channeled this beautiful meditation for you because I know how painful it is to exhaust oneself from seeking and to solely rely on the logical mind. The more I did that, the more disconnected, self-doubt and mistrust I felt. Isn’t it funny to try using the very thing that created problems in the first place to solve them - the mind? This meditation will help you to stop living in your head, to come back into your body and to tap into your wisdom. You are an infinite being having a human experience and because you’re connected to everything and everyone, you are also connected to infinite intelligence. I also included a meditation guide to help you crafting your own meditation practice as well as integrating your experience into your life 🌿
☁️ This little meditation package (20€) comes with: ⠀
・"Access Your Inner Wisdom" Meditation (with music) ⠀
・"Access Your Inner Wisdom" Meditation (audio-only version) ⠀
・ Meditation Guide (incl. Terms of Use & Disclaimer, journal prompts, tips for further integration and how to create your own meditation practice)⠀

“For far too long we have been seduced into walking a path that did not lead us to ourselves. For far too long we have said yes when we wanted to say no. And for far too long we have said no when we desperately wanted to say yes. . . . When we don't listen to our intuition, we abandon our souls. And we abandon our souls because we are afraid if we don't, others will abandon us.”  ―Terry Tempest Williams
Warrior Angel by Regina Wamba
