"The Angel Way" by Primal Painter
My desire to communicate seems to be at an all-time low, but my creative juices are flowing pretty well, so that's a good sign. During this phase of non-verbalism (or non-verbalocity, or no-talk-aholicism) which I have come to call "The Great Silence of the Yams 2011", (Yams is code for vocal cords), I decided I should do another chakra angel to check in on the condition of my energy flow.
I was surprised to see the blue throat chakra so open. I thought it would have a "Closed Until Further Notice" sign on it or maybe a "Danger-She's Gonna Blowww!!" sign nailed to it. There must be something else going on with me because I sure do feel strange....cocooned......internal.......like I'm in a womb, all wrapped up and closed off to the outside. Not stagnant or stuck, just inside myself, like in the eye of a tornado where everything is still but all around me is a wild whirlwind of debris, Wizard of Oz style. Weird sh*t, maan....
What she would look like matted and framed
The Sixth Chakra -Purple (some say indigo blue, I see purple) - The Third Eye - The Seat of Intuition - "I see you", Na'vi style from the movie Avatar, seeing the issues behind the pain. This one doesn't look too bad. I've been working on blue and purple digital paintings lately while focusing on the fifth and sixth chakras and I think this process has cleaned out some of the cobwebs in both of them. Cool.
The Throat Chakra - Blue - Communication, change, committment, verbal self expression, speaking your truth. It looks fairly open and clear but it's out of alignment, not by much, but by enough that it needs attention, more work, the next step. I'm still convinced there's something stuck in my throat but I can't see it in this picture. (Maybe it's behind, maybe I should do an image from the back side, yeah)
The Heart Chakra - Green - The Bridge between the upper and lower chakras, the mediator, love, nurture, empathy, compassion, understanding, Christ-like. (I wish I was more Christ-like). It looks open and cleared out, but not very vibrant or active. I recently finished the heart chakra painting with the intention of opening and clearing, so this is good. The next series of chakra paintings will have movement, activation, spin, and spiral. (spirals!!!)
The Third Chakra - Yellow - The Solar Plexus- thinking, intellect, self worth, self-esteem, self identity, who am I?, what is my purpose? why am I here? There's something I'm supposed to do. I know I can do it. I'm slightly out of alignment with my higher purpose but it's close....I think too much and don't feel or do enough, possibly because the second chakra isn't open enough.
The Second Chakra - Orange - Hara - the center of emotions, (easier to shut them down and pretend like they're not there) male or female identity, sexuality, intimacy, bonding. Poor ole' second chakra, it's open but needs more, lots more. The color is good though, so some clearing has taken place so at least there's been some progress..
The First Chakra - Red - Root - Kundalini - Procreation, survival, safety and self preservation, bodily life energy, stamina. And there it is, that puny first chakra. The plant is only as strong as its roots. It's not dark, so that's good, it's just small and needs to be more open and activated.
And the grounding cords, what grounding cords? There's a red light at the bottom of the angel where it looks like the grounding cords have disconnected and pulled back into a dark cave. That's not so good, but this is a typical problem with me. I have a tendency to float....
So now I know what to focus on. I love chakra angels!
(Disclaimer: These chakra attributes are how I understand them and are not necessarily how an expert might define them.)
Until next time, whenever that may be......
