Life is just beginning: Episode 3: Buttercup Yellow

 LIFE IS JUST BEGINNING : EPISODE 3 : CHAKRA 3

“You are the life that is present when all else comes and goes …”

Life is just beginning in rosy orange cheeks. Clara, my daughter’s cockatiel, cheeks have transformed itself into the brightest orange spots from the palest orange hue. Her plume has gone buttercup yellow from lemon yellow. Her under wings displays the full range of yellow tones from its snowy white winter dress. She demonstrates Heraclitus’ famous quote : ‘The only thing that does not change, is change itself’. Everything changes. A primary lesson on Earth School is to embrace all change. There is no other way. EMBRACE AND ACCEPT WHATEVER COMES YOUR WAY.

Yellow is the colour associated with the navel chakra. It denotes your sense of Self, who you are in the material realm, the way you choose to construct your personality, the methods you use to access what you want to do on Planet Earth. Said another way, it denotes your EGO – the beginning of life in a physical body. Yay ! Life is just beginning. This chakra is associated with the power animals Lynx, Grizzly and Polar Bears, Tigers, Cheetahs, Lions, Lionesses at Hunt, Apes, Rhinos, Panthers, Blood Hounds. In the bird world, it is associated with vultures and falcons and in the reptile world, with pythons. FEEL THE POWER TIP : Place images of these around you when feeling powerless.

Other colours associated with this chakra are Gold and Electric Blue. Breathe it in when you feel your self-esteem escaping. So Oh Ho Ho … the yellow daffodils just sprung in my flat’s garden attracts these power animals. Clara’s plume stimulates my navel chakra and connects it to the centre of the morning sunlight. I take in the Power of One through this centre. It moves my belly : my pancreas, liver, spleen, gall bladder, colon and small intestine connected to this chakra responds in unison. I connect to ALL-THAT- IS knowing in this centre that I am One with God and God is everything. In our Solar Plexus-Navel Chakra, we access our positive identities through the knowledge that we reflect Creation as an expression of its reality and its evolution.

BEING-NESS keeps this chakra and its organs healthy. Be in the present moment, be yourself, be your true feelings. This is the way of the Wind – It is whatever it is in all its forms - from a playful breeze to a roaring whirlwind – in its being-ness, it blows sunflower seeds across the plains of time – blooming in cycles of sunlight for our salad at lunchtime. Yum. Life it just beginning.
