Root Chakra: color Red, located at the base of the spine!
This mornings meditation left me with a feeling of "wanting". I have "wanted" something all day! The color that came to me in this mornings meditation was the color red. Red represents many things to me, but since I'm meditating and see it I will use the reference for the root chakra. This chakra is our grounding energy. It represents the physical will of our beings. It is the energy that governs our survival, security and safety- that is, if you're balanced. If you're out of balance you tend to be self indulgent - feeling "wanting" - a lack of satisfaction with basic needs! hmm..I thought I was okay during my meditation.
A similar them presented itself in my mediation practice today. Lagan appeared when called and we went into the water. He gave me a word -Pertinacity:holding tenaciously to a purpose, course of action, or opinion; obstinate. When Lagan gave me the word I thought the reference was a virtue. But, I'm beginning to take a second look at that! Who's obstinate - me? I will have to inquire more about this one tomorrow.
A song came to me as I swam in the water - "Love Will Keep us Together". Who - me and Lagan? Okay, that's two out of two that I don't understand! Want to try for three? And thirdly, Lagan suggested that I read Dante's Divine Comedy. Seriously? Do you know how long that is? I'm not saying I won't read it, but I am saying - arrrgghh. An epic poem written in the middle ages. It is a fabulous piece of literature - he wrote about Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, based one his experiences with the world around him. Fascinating. I will let you know how this goes.
Something good did happen during my meditation. Okay good as in I liked it! After getting out of the water I meditated under the Bodhi Tree and became aware that others were under the tree too! Cool. It was a different feeling than yesterdays Counsel meeting. Yesterday the people seemed to be proud I was there with them, today no one seemed to notice. It wasn't a bad thing but rather pleasant.
Whew. Today was a middle of the road day with no highs and no lows. Nothing emotional. It was a good day and I'm grateful for my day!
Peace and Blessings!
