bottom? fundament? must be Muladhara
See just this Post & Comments / 0 Comments so far / Post a Comment /   HomeThis is part of what they mean when they say, 'work it up in ya!'. I used to imagine suburban housewives sitting cross-legged and naked on the rug in the mornings after hubby has gone off to work, trying to conjure and awaken a kundalini snake up their tails, liquid light, flying balanced on their divine fulcrum, floating like a butterfly ... never met many suburban housewives, one or two maybe ... but could I please have a little Yin with that Yang?
The Root Chakra, the Base Chakra ... the Source, the First ... Muladhara.
'Mula' is a she-mule in portugese, and slang for someone stubborn or stupid. This post was almost called hee-haw! A bray! But I'm not going to say more than that about it.
Sanscrit Alphabet 1, 2, 3, the letter in the centre is la, a 'liquid consonant'.
physical massage symmetries, the heel of the foot and the base of the thumb at the wrist joint, also a prana yoga breathing exercise called 'moola bandha'
four lotus petals around a square, elephants with seven trunks, snakes
shouldn't really be taken out-of-context, oh well.
The front page of the Globe yesterday had an article on Kimveer Gil (not published on-line unfortunately) in which two men who attended boot-camp with him in 1999, Darryl Gauthier & Eric Giroux (they do things alphabetically in the military) recalled the man. He was an oddball and they drummed him out after a few weeks, ostensibly for not marching properly, with the words, delivered by the warrant officer in front of the whole platoon: "This is not the kind of person we want in the armed forces."
This guy lived with his family, walked around for years and years with a huge chip which was obviously showing ... and nobody saw it? Sure people saw it, they couldn't help but see it, and they all just let it slide on by. What else could they do? I don't know. Maybe some of them didn't just let it slide, maybe some of them tried some things, maybe those things just didn't work.
At the end of this I am thinking of the magician's trick - pulling scarves out of his sleeve or his ear or somewhere. I would like to see him keep pulling them out and pulling them out and pulling them out ... until he begins to disappear, and the last one is like the closing circle (sphincter? just bringing it all back home again?) at the end of a Looney-Tunes ... Th' Th' Th' That's All Folks! ... a-and the last scarf disappears through the vanishing hole, and ... POOF! Gone!
Down.
