Walking the Sacred Stair - a Chakra Meditation for Guidance
Today I nailed a medical intuition reading when I got that a woman had been switched from an opioid pain reliever to a vasodilator and I don't even know what that is! How cool is that! Who da man?
Context: So what does it mean? Really cool, but without context I might as well have told her that she just switched from Sketchers to Converse for all the good it would do, but the context was that her mood swings and feelings of desolation were as much from opioid detox as anything else and then we could put a timeline on that and recommend ways to speed the process.
I also got a bunch of things she could do to resolve the underlying problem, both on the physical and spiritual level. I really do have the best job in the world… now I just have to find a doctor to work with who will know what I'm talking about when I get words like vasodilator.
I rarely have the time during readings for "Direct Intervention" – healings, ritual, and demonstration teaching. There just isn't time to do it right, so Spirit and I use words and direction instead. Works great, but I sometimes sit with a person and think, there is so much more we could do if we had the time – hours or even days.
With the new Being/Doing Readings I've gotten the chance for some of this hands on work I was missing. So far, very few people have wanted to commit to the time and money for these readings, but I had to tell you this story because the client recently reported back to me an evolution of what we did together.
I had worked with J a few times in the past and as I was getting ready to meet with her, and trying to figure out what we were going to do, the message came to me: It was time for Grounding. We had talked about grounding in previous readings and meditations, but while she had intellectualized the idea of grounding, both during psychic work and walking around time, the reality of what it felt like was escaping her.
As an added bonus, the basic ritual dropped into my head right after the idea. I had her sit comfortably and take off her shoes. We began with a guided meditation, clearing and focusing before beginning to visualize roots growing from the base of her spine and the soles of her feet. I knelt in front of her with my hands pressed to the floor as I opened my connections to Heaven and Earth.
Reaching down into the ground I gathered strands of energy and sent my mind down into the stone and earth till I found the place where the rocks go runny and hot. Holding that connection I took her feet in my hands and gently pulled her into that energy with me – bringing that strength and solidity up as I pulled her energy down.
As I felt the connection form and strengthen between J and the Earth I powerful, female presence reached down from the heavens. Old and strong and mothering and fiercely protective reached down for J, strengthening the Earth connection and holding the energy of the Sky in balance.
Slowly, the forces began to withdraw, but the paths we and they walked were/are still there. Now that J had felt that grounding energy and formed those connections it has been easier for her to do it on her own, and that was the whole point!
She told me the other day that the energy has continued to evolve. The raw power of grounding to the Earth has become more motherly and protective, like being held in immense and comforting arms.
Years ago I had a dream were I was speaking to this old woman about my business. In the dream, as in waking life, I was all stressed out and trying to explain to her why I was so stressed and didn't have time for her ideas. She turned and gave me a hard look before saying "Don't you know that as the Earth grows in fecundity, so too shall your business?"
After I awoke, and looked up "fecundity," I started thinking about what she had said to me. Even now I see the same patterns of sowing, tending, harvesting and resting that I see in nature. This time of year, even as I plant seeds for the summer garden, ideas and winter projects start to show new growth. Classes start to grow again, readings become more frequent and new growth is all around. Summer will see unexpected storms and stunning growth and excitement before the busyness of fall fair season and the harvest of the year's work before the slowdown of December and January.
Every year I forget about the pattern, my mind fills with worry and fret in December and January only to remember as spring approaches that is this normal for work as organic as mine.
Today I saw my first crocuses of spring. The bright yellow ones are always the first to bloom and their sunny faces make me remember those words from my dream, "As the Earth grows in fecundity, so too shall your business." Now is the time for new growth, and love, and Fecundity – and I am ready.
