The Divine, God and Goddess

The Divine

 We witness the Divine all around us.  Whether you perceive it as God, Goddess, or anything else is ultimately up to how you interpret the world as you see it.                                                                                                                                                  

The Divine is the fabric from which the universe is made.  It is everything material in the world, everything living.  It is every person.  It is Life, and thus all Life is sacred.  We cannot possibly understand all that which is the Divine.

I choose to interpret the Divine as I see it in nature and all around me – in the form of male and female, the God and Goddess.

The Chakras

 

Chakra is derived from Sanskrit word meaning Wheel.

Observed as wheels of energy continuously rotating at different speeds, Root being slowest, Crown being fastest. They are located on both the front and back of the body, and work through it, beginning at the base of the spine and finishing at the top of the head. The size and brightness of chakras vary with individual development, physical condition, energy levels, disease, or stress.

Each chakra is stimulated by its own color, and gemstones.  If energies are unbalanced/blocked, the basic life force is slowed, and individual may feel listless, tired, out of sorts, or depressed. Physical and mental functions may be affected, causing negative attitude, fear, doubt etc.

Balancing chakras promotes health and a sense of well being. If they are too open, a person could “short circuit” themselves with too much universal energy going through the body. If closed, the universal energy can’t flow properly.
