no flames

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I am lacking some key ingredient in the performance of my daily rituals.
Specifically, the aspect of flaming pentagrams mentioned in Liber O. I have been performing either the SR or LBRP daily for quite some time, (years) along with other daily practices in the same vein. Results are great overall, and always improving... except for the life of me I cannot in any way "draw" a flame in the air! (I can imagine a flame, but I think AC is talking about something different.)
As I'm sure the personal instructions for these rituals go far beyond what is written, there must be some portion of this flame creation that I am simply lacking. What is supposed to be going on in my mind at the time of drawing the geometric figures? I am writing to beg some one to reveal this key instruction.
Thanks... hopefully.
Love is the law, love under will.

Just to add some options here:
The flame could originate from the heart chakra.
The flame could originate from the shoulder that was just touched.
The flame could some how be drawn in from the outside, like the divine names.
The flame could just snap into existence from nowhere. (seems odd, but okay.)
The flame could come from the crown down the arm.
Also, my practice could be hindered because I am drawing the figures pretty large. (Start at lower hip, come up to crown, down to other hip, across to 1 foot beyond shoulder, etc.) Perhaps this is easier if one draws smaller ones?
P.S. Yes, there is an LBRP post already, but it's content has gone far away from this kind of question. However, if an administrator would rather see this post assimilated, please do.

It's simpler than you're making it. Just imagine the flame. Anything more subtle will come from that. (It originates as if pouring out of your finger as if your finger were an ink-pen.)
