Guest guest Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Today, I was going about my day as usual- but paying extra special attention to loving others unconditionally, thus allowing for the silly little flaws my human mind may happen to notice, to slip beneath the cracks and fade away. No anger, no annoyance..love of each person's ways, knowing that they have all come to this point because of their path in life. I tried to pay attention to feeling connected to all of creation, and to the earth. At one point, I was doing a client's facial massage..then another after her- and as I applied pressure to the temples, I gave healing wishes with my mind. I wished love and happiness, and calming for each of them. I do this often. This time, as I did that, I felt heat travel up my spine..and kind of linger in the middle of my upper back, causing a pleasant yet strange sort of popping feeling. It was as if I had rice crispies in my back- along my spine; just popping and crackling away. An energy rush came with it, but it was intense and it made me want to laugh out loud and run out in nature. I of course, was confined to the walls of Macy's, (and didn't want anyone watching to think I'd gone insane) so I just tuned it out. As soon as I tuned it out, it left. (sad face) I wonder what would've happened if I hadn't done that. In the posted day one chakra based focus, it was said that feeling a sense of belonging and a sense of needs being met and deserving to be met and so forth, is beneficial to the health of our first chakra. I didn't really know how to open my mind to that..or how to see the role that sense plays for me, while at work. That was until I realized that I forgot my lunch money on the counter at home, and I had no lunch with me. I called my mother, and left a message to see if she would be passing through the area at all during the day. She didn't return my call for a couple of hours, at least. Then she said she'd be there in just a little while, and would take me somewhere for lunch. She never arrived for almost two hours. By that time, I was feeling very sad, like crying, because I was very hungry (it was 5:00 p.m) and all I ate all day was a little bit of vegetables, some watermelon, and a little snack size kasha granola bar. I got pretty sick, and I thought I was going to collapse. Had I thought for a second about doing the compression breathing or reciting the Shakti prayer, I would've received extra strength..I'm sure. I learned a few lessons from this, as well as expanding my understanding of how feeling inadequate or undeserving of basic needs can sicken the first chakra. I could've also found a way to change my perception, so that I wouldn't find myself feeling that way, but those things are not easy when you have been working hard all day and you're starving. I guess I'd better work on my perception. Love, Tara Be a better Heartthrob. Get better relationship answers from someone who knows. Answers - Check it out.
