chakras

a long-overdue
three-day weekend
begins

perhaps with the acquisition of home-based web access
the blog can return to a calmer thoughtfulness
or evolve anew as it may


a vigorous ecstatic dance circle this evening
brings the satisfaction of sweat
and some gentle healing connections

and as we wind down
i notice my mind wandering
distracted by feminine beauty around me


i am inspired to do some chakra clearing work
visualizing the gentle release of any attachments
and offering rainbow light in their stead

i notice most obviously my belly releasing
its overwhelming desire the last two weeks
to consume

what a relief
not only of ongoing indigestion
but of leading with that energy toward others


mind and throat similarly overheated
overreaching
frustrated

i notice libido and rootedness rather shut down
no wonder i've felt so ungrounded and weak
this week

spiritual crown energy likewise missing
more relief as i begin reestablishing
that opening


anything else?
whoa: the heart!
how could i forget?!

breathing into it
some aliveness arises
a gentle joyfulness returning

along with a bit of mourning
to replace the week's gnarled
eating-my-way-through approach


yet mostly surprise
wonder and
gratitude

at being made whole again
in a few divinely-intended
breath-connected realizations

seen-feelings
felt-visions or better still:
sense-knowings


may i remember the wisdom of this way
toward a better cared-for self
and greater loving presence

toward partner and friends
coworkers strangers
and the world
