Day 17 of the 30 day challenge. The third eye chakra.

Welcome to day 17 of the  30 day meditation.  Today's meditation is about opening the third eye chakra.  Located between the brows, it is indigo in color and is the sixth of the seven chakra's.  The third eye is connected to psychic abilities, the Universe, wisdom and knowledge.  

First, you can't see the third eye if you look in the mirror, if you can, consult a physician.  Just kidding, just trying to keep it light.  Seriously though, you often hear about the third eye when you hear people speaking about psychic abilities.  With the influx of medium shows on television these days, there is no doubt this term has surfaced somewhere. 

When balanced with your other chakra's, this sixth in the "chain" of seven, can help you decipher between your reality and your imagination.  This is not a chakra to be dealt with lightly, it deserves the utmost respect, as you are essentially opening a doorway of sorts to another dimension, or a higher plane.  You could say you are lifting the veil.  Again, treat the third eye chakra, with absolute appreciation and respect.

Now, onto the meditation.  As with every meditation, breathe in to the count of five and exhale out, to the count of eight, the anxieties, stress and worries.  Inhale peace, exhale negativity.  Inhale deeply, filling your lungs, exhale thoughts so you are left with a clear mind.  Return to your natural breathing.  Now picture your third eye, it is closed and the indigo color is dull and dim.  With your next inhalation, imagine you are breathing through your third eye, breathing color and life into it and exhaling, out of your nose or mouth, all of the negativity keeping it shut.  Breathe in through your third eye feeling it brighten each time you inhale positivity and exhale negativity, clearing away doubts and fears.  Now, imagine the third eye chakra wheel spinning at the same steady cycle as your previous chakra's, the root, the sacral, the solar plexus, the heart, the throat...when it is glowing brighter and spinning like the others, slowly open your eyes and take a moment to think about this chakra.

I will repeat this again.  It is always important to keep your chakra's balanced.  If connecting to the other side is not your cup of tea, simply dim it just enough, as to keep it balanced with the other's.  It is okay to let your chakra know that it is not something you are ready for, but keep it open enough to experience the wisdom of the universe or God, depending on where your beliefs might fall.  

Too be honest, I have had experiences in my life and while I have a healthy respect for my sixth chakra, I'm not yet sure that I am comfy with the idea of opening it up more than it already is.  As I said, do not jump in feet first, treat it with respect and appreciation and youtube other video's, or read books, that might help explain this more. I use both methods, there is nothing more healthy and entertaining than reading.

Until tomorrow...pick up a book and read.  I'm currently reading, "Mountains of the Mind" by Robert MacFarlane.  It is a wonderful, amazing and fascinating read.  It captures your attention and imagination and yes, it is about actual mountains.  I suggest you give it a whirl. *thumbs up*

Sissy Jo....

Well, it goes without saying that the days leading up to Comic Con were anything but non-emotional.  Is that even a word?  Seriously, my mind lately. Sissy Jo, one of the three girls I call my soul sister, passed away on June 29th, her funeral was held two days before we left for Comic Con. Admittedly, this reminded me, as well, of mama being sick last year during Comic Con, so of course our 8th trip to the 'Con', was a little bluer than I think we had hoped, but we did manage to have a good time, because we know that is what Jo would have wanted.  As we all know you can't make the pain just disappear, or the sadness that comes with losing someone so important and special to your life.  As anyone could tell you, JoAnn was a force to be reckoned with, a little whirlwind of organization, love and smiles.  She loved many who were in her path and she taught us lessons of survival, never giving up and fighting the good fight. I me...

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

Day 8 of 30 days of gratitude.

Today I dedicate this blog to Sissy Jo.  Today would have been JoJobean's 47th birthday and she lived every moment the best that she could.  I am forever grateful that I spent her last night on earth with her.  It was like old times when we had a lot of Sissy sleep-over's, watching "ghosty" shows, chatting, being sisters.   That night she told me her dreams for me and what she was sure would be my reality for the future. What people didn't see was JoAnn's fight.  When it was posted on Facebook that she had passed away, so many of my own family and friend's commented that they didn't even know she was still sick.  In fact, she was on her way to do payroll when she collapsed, the afternoon she passed away.  She had set-up a makeshift office at home, because her dedication to the work and people she cared about, never stopped. JoAnn was re-diagnosed in December 2008.  She had been in remission for almost four years when breast cancer came ba...
