A quick revisiting of the three centers.

Heart center + head/belly flavors

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

I have been exploring how the heart center combines with head and/or belly centers for different flavors.

When the head center is included, there is the usual empty luminosity and clarity of the head center there. A very yang brilliance (compared with the smooth fullness of Spirit filtered through the belly center, it is stark, almost a desert quality).

And when the belly center is included, there is the smooth, round fullness of the belly center, which allows a felt-sense of the heart qualities.

And together, there is even more sense of fullness and richness… the love of the heart center, the empty luminosity of the head center, and the velvety smooth round fullness of the belly center. The loving, seeing and feeling of all as Spirit.

I also notice, as I did early on with the belly center awakening, that bringing in the head and belly centers together invites the heart in as well. Although it is certainly possible to start with any one, and bring either or both of the others in.

Of course, there is not really any “bringing in” of anything… all three are there, but it is possible to invite one or more into the foreground of awareness… shifting each one more into the foreground or background.

Dream: having my chakras analyzed

Monday, June 5th, 2006

I go to an applied kineseologist in New York City. He gives me a discount and charges me only $31 instead of the regular rate of $168 an hour.

He tests my chakras, and finds that the heart is relatively active, the 6th chakra (brow point) is very active and strong, and the crown chakra is at zero, neutral.

These days, I notice a lot of energy going on in my body from the neck down - including very active source/diksha energy and work there. From the neck up, there is just space, neutrality, emptiness.

I notice an impulse to reject this sense of space and neutrality (as if that was possible!), as it seems to have to do with a slight daze… just being, resting, doing very little or nothing. There is a should there somewhere - I should be more active, engaged, productive, focused, goal oriented and so on.

I also notice an enjoyment in it, seeing the emptiness in the head area and the activity in the rest of the body as part of a beautiful process, as a preparation for something… including becoming more familiar with the neutrality and detachment of Ground, of awakening to selflessness, and allowing more of what is not quite compatible with that to fall away.

And I notice that both of those impulses are just from stories, from attaching to thoughts about it. Without these stories, there is just clarity… peace with whatever is happening.
