I am doing chakra work this summer. Seven weeks to focus on one chakra a week. I'm almost done with week one. Here's the deal.
I am feeling tired, uninspired, and hot. Summer is not my favorite time of year. So I decided what I should do is get some chakra self therapy underway.
To start:
I am altering an old book to keep a journal of the work I do. I cut some of the pages out and randomly tore them and decoupaged them to the front of the book. That will be the background for an eventual collage.
I am starting with my base or root chakra. Simply put, it is at the base of my spine, it's color is red, and it connects me to the earth. I am using meditation combined with sound therapy and visualization along with yoga to refresh and replenish my root energy.
Additionally, I am focusing on the color red, in the foods I eat and also in the journal I am keeping.
For example, I had a beet salad for lunch. I made tomato bisque for dinner.
I have taken pictures from print materials I have on hand and collaged representations of the red foods I have added to my diet this week into the journal, right over the pages of the book itself. Some times I find words in the pages I want to save so I circle them in red and work around them. One of the words this week actually was "red"... it was random but close enough to make me feel like this is worth doing... I took it as encouragement.
I don't often come to BL anymore. Its hard to talk about getting high. But I can keep track of the chakra work I do and whatever benefits I reap on my blog here, because I don't go to class. I do all my practice at home and in private. I don't have friends. I don't want friends. But I would like to have someone to bounce my experiences off as I work through my chakras one by one.
I am not going to have the time to do as much as I wanted because my daughter got a promotion and instead of having the whole summer off, she goes back to work in a week. I babysit for her so my summer is done.
But the work shall continue. I'm so glad BL is still here.
