Day 21


image
Last day of the third week? 
Another milestone.
I fell asleep again today, waking up again to do my meditation, I can’t blame myself too much because I did on;y et to sleep around one in the morning last night.
It was a little better today, I switched the relaxation technique making it the first rather than the last. I went deeper than I expected. Then my foot went numb during the last few minutes and I had to move it.
Not bad.
It was definitely better than yesterday.
I was still frustrated that I had to move but I think I can shane that with a simple change in positioning. I’ll have to experiment wit a few different postures, see which fit s best.
My cat came to sit with me, he sat in my lap and it actually helped my posture bit. Its funny, sometimes haven my cat is a distraction during meditation but sometimes its almost a boon to have him around. 
It really depends on his mood or if I fed him that morning or not. 
I as looking for my invocations but could only find the one I have for The Morrigan.
I have to look through my journals to see if I have a copy saved or not of my invocation to Mother Bear, It was a good one that I want to use in my prayers in the future.

Birds

Recently I've taken to a kind of amateur bird watching...Not really going out and looking for particular birds really but just going about my usual activities and keeping an eye out for any avian tag alongs.  One being the common Crow or Raven, I can never remember if there is a distinctions...I've heard that the raven is bigger with a orange beak, with the crow as a smaller bird with a black beak. I've seen many of these birds hanging around my home, and can identify them by sound or sight. Another bird that I only caught a glimpse of was the magpie, I didn't get a chance to take a picture but found one on the internet that matched what I saw. It is really a beautiful bird but beyond what it looks like I really can't say I know very much about it. What really was strange was that while I had never done any research about the bird I KNEW that the bird was indeed a magpie, the name just popped into my head as soon as I saw it. I also found this guy in my backyar...

Day 24

Image
i continued with my chakra meditation today. i used the same imagery as before, imagining my sacral chakra as a spinning pinwheel that i could spin with my breathing. i added the thought that in spinning it i was also cleaning all the dust or old evergy from it, an image of a spinning wheel of fire came to me then, burning away the bad or old built up blockages that have built up over the years. i have many blockages in this area, probably more that in my root.  relating with th asexual has alway been a little bit of a minefield for me, open discussion of this subject was discorage heavily.  both of my parents had their own reasons for blocking this path to knowledge in their own lives but as a consequence it is difficult to find my own way. Your parents are your first teachers, and when they hide knowledge or discourage learning about a part of your own body, you learn to distrust any future teachers.  including yourself. learning to trust your intuition or even yo...

Spider Woman's Web: Traditional Native American Tales About Women's Power

Image
Image via Wikipedia This is a book I picked up from BN a few days ago. I was looking through the cultural studies section, because the native american metaphysical books are there instead of the Metaphysical sections. Go figure. Anyway, I picked this book up and am pleasantly surprised by it. I was expecting a mishmash of cultures and generalities but what I got was a precise study of NA Culture with only a slight feminist slant without screwing up the tales themselves. The translations are solid and enjoyable to read, made for a modern audience but remaining true to the roots they spring from. Its a collection of tales that highlight the power that women held in NA culture and the questions at the end of each section help apply lessons taught in the tale to your own life. ------- Chapter 1:Spider woman saves Ko-chin-ni-na-ko This tale orientates from the keresan pueblos, located in the southwest of the US, and features a w...
