Magical little hOM

[Guest guest]

Hi All:

I wanted to share something very magical. Over the weekend I built a little

meditation area. I made it from desert willow branches, and tied it together

with agave fibers (and hemp roping). I modeled it after the beehives of Ireland,

the inipi and teepee teachings. I gave thanks for every branch and element used

for it. I knew that it would be my little space for meditation and wanted to be

respectful while creating it.

 

There are so many things that make this little branch tent-like dome " hOM " so

magical. For starters it's in a rocky section of my yard which has been zoned

for my addition/gallary/art space-someday. It's dream space. The blue prints

were approved last year...but I have been dragging my feet in investing in the

building of it etc. I noticed that the moonlight casts through the open sections

and sets the hut aglow-making the white fabric strips shimmer like diamonds. In

between the existing flagstone pieces-now hut's foundation, I planted some

flowers, and in various corners placed potted or hanging herbs, made a little

" fire pit " area in the center to hold candles etc. I did some carvings on the

branches of symbols that have been meaningful to me, and hung my prayer ties.

Well, last night a mansoon hit...we experienced gusty winds and thunderous

booms. I thought for certain my little " hOM " would be blown over. But this

morning, there " she " stood with the flowers and herbs watered from the rain, and

the flagstone damp and cool. I thought to myself, " made it through the first

round, and still standing. " I stepped inside for my morning meditation, and it

was purely magical. I felt like I did as a young girl, when I carved out an

area in a large bush and made it my secret hut. As a child, this is where I

would " talk " with the animals and plants while stacking my little stones. This

morning, I was doing the very same, and I felt so alive. To a passerby it looks

like a child's stick fort...but step inside and the universe awaits. I think

it's symbolic to venturing inside self. I'm excited to distill some lavender

this weekend, and to continue further thought into finding the " right " avenue

for bridge art and healing and bringing this into the lives of others. I

encourage you (if indeed this is something would recommend in regards to

Kundalini)to do something for your inner child-for that place of knowing that

holds your inner truth.

 

Peace:
