Eternal Hug
I sit here at this keyboard shaking as I am writing these words- I am at once 14, lacking in so much knowledge of myself, a confused kid that lives on a level that most earthlings do not even care about.
"The wise man dieth just like the fool" The wealthy man just like the impoverished one- Solomon said "all else is vanity".
I believe vanity is the source of all unhappiness and and angst.
People places and things I need but do not - each a wedge between me and what my soul yearns for.
It is a good day to hug myself.
This change of season has changed me. Indian Summer! My spirit runs around alone, naked in the cold. There must be more than me, for me to love, for me to embrace. Unconditionally. There must be more to feel- than the vacancies my desires have created, Yearning for an eternal ahhhh or oooooh I crawl around on the floor of my soul looking for a piece of love, as a crack addict might franticly search for a crumb he just had to drop.
I could sure use a hug from myself today.

Post a CommentWow Donathen, this is so profound and so deep and introspective of you to write this. I used to feel this way, I liked working with inanimate objects, they didn't talk back to you or hurt you, they were just there. Such as with Art and Music, you just feel and get embraced in it. Thank you for sharing. I send a hug to you today. Love and blessings, Linda B. Namaste'.
The Root chakra is particularly about connecting to the ground. Expressions like "Be on firm ground" and "Getting on your feet again" convey a good connection and an open Root chakra. "To lose ground" and "Getting swept off your feet" convey a closed (or almost closed) Root chakra. When your Root chakra is closed too far, you may actually feel that your feet don't seem to really touch the ground.
This is an exercise to strengthen this connection to the ground.
Stand up straight and relaxed.
Put your feet shoulder width apart.
Slightly bend your knees.
Put your pelvis somewhat forward.
Keep your body balanced, so that your weight is evenly distributed over the soles of your feet.
Sink your weight downward.

Contracting bottom muscles
By contracting the muscles that are between the anus and the genitals, the Root Chakra is stimulated. At each inhalation, contract these muscles inward, at each exhalation, relax. Do this for
