Day 19 of the 30 day meditation. The crown chakra.

Well, it looks as though I am sliding in right under the midnight radar and getting this in today, or at least starting it before it is a new day.  Speaking of new days, I kind of like to think of the crown  chakra as seeing each coming day as new, once the chakra is balanced and open.

Purple in color and located just above the Crown of your head, this chakra is the seventh and final of them all.  This chakra allows you to connect to your higher self and intuition and allows you to receive guidance and enlightenment.  I also believe it is essential to maintain full trust in whatever you believe in to allow this chakra to remain balanced and open.

Some believe that many do not achieve the full experience of the crown chakra, but perhaps that is because we have programmed ourselves to not trust everything.  In this day and age we might think "trust" is hard to come by, or have, in many situations, but is it really?  I put the word trust in quotes in the previous sentence, because I am beginning to understand that you can trust in anything and do it with complete faith, however, we each choose what we put our trust into.  

For instance, I am single, BUT, in my last relationship I put all my faith and trust into one man, even though I wasn't sure I should, because of certain conversations we had while still dating, before things got serious, so when it didn't work out, I blamed me and said the usual, "why did I trust so much?". Well, as I have grown over the span of time, I realize my lack of trust has kept me out of relationships and opening myself to new men, because it's not the relationship I have to trust, it is me.  I have to trust my intuition, and the guidance I am being given, that I am making the right decisions in my life and the path I choose.  Once I have that trust then I can listen to, and heed, what my heart says, and I can have faith in the relationship I am in.  All of that just flew out of my brain, so if it doesn't make sense right now, perhaps it will later, but for the most part I get it.  Believing is trusting, trusting is eventually having faith.

That said, let's move on to the meditation.  Sit straight, or lay flat, but keep your spine straight, comfy, but straight.  Now relax and breathe in slowly, to the count of five, peace.  Exhale slowly to the count of eight, your anxieties.  Breathe in strength, exhale worries.  Breathe in happiness, exhale anxieties, as you clear your mind.  For me, I picture a beautiful purple orb, but it is dim.  As you breathe naturally, with each breath, breathe light into this orb, helping it to glow, and when you exhale, exhale the negativity surrounding the crown chakra.  Remember, if you have trouble imagining breathing life into a circle, you can use my pinwheel analogy from previous posts.  As the orb becomes brighter, begin to watch it spin in a clockwise direction, until it is spinning at the same speed as the previous six chakra's.  Pulsating and rotating at the same speed.  Now take a step back to admire and respect the work you have done.  Your root (red), sacral (orange), solar plexus (yellow), heart (green), throat (blue), third eye (indigo), and the crown (purple) chakra's all spinning together, at the perfect, balanced speed. Not too fast and not too slow.

Remember, as this is the seventh chakra, it too deserves the utmost respect in how it is used and maintained, as this is the most powerful of all the chakra's.  In fact, it is fair to say that all of the chakra's, important in their own beautiful ways, deserve to be treated with respect.  Treat them as you would want others to treat you.  This will keep them, and you, balanced and a balanced you, is a peaceful you.

Until tomorrow...Let your spinal rainbow be as sweet as a bag of Skittles™.

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...
