​'sip of my tea'

Not so mellow yellow

6/5/2015

 
Picture
Yesterday I took myself out for breakfast, (this came about due to the conversation I had with my Love the day before, he told me he had breakfast and lunch meetings the following day.)  I was immediately inspired to do the same!  Have business meetings over breakfast AND lunch.. with myself! haha We both work from home you see, and therefore we can go days and days and days without going OUT.. other than for walks/exercise etc.
I have turned another corner (in my head) that is ... I'm not putting off making a new website for my next ecourse any longer.. I have begun.
So... as usual.. I make meaning out of most everything.. and this brings me to this pic above... how might I bring meaning to that you may ask?
I am not into yellow... I observe it from a distance, I notice it has been frequenting lots of trendy magazine spreads and home making shows.. but I have as yet not embraced any yellow at my house.. BUT... on the weekend I went to a very YELLOW cafe called Lemon & Thyme.. and loved what I called a 'dose of yellow' that I received.  P took a couple of pics of me there, wearing red.. with yellow all around me... and then at breakfast I was given this combo again.

Yellow is the colour 
given to the solar plexus chakra in many charts.

Picture
Solar Plexus Chakra - located in the area above the naval area.  Its function is Will power and its inner state is laughter, joy, anger, its colour is yellow, and its planets are Mars and the Sun.  Its stones are: Amber, Topaz and Citrine.  

Meditation on: I do.  Balancing this chakra is associated with calming emotions and frustration, easing tension and helping to better utilise intuition.  Energies: Fire, Energising, Charging, Lends Energy.

Picture
Root/support Chakra - located at the base of the spine.  Its function is survival and grounding, its inner state is stillness and stability. its colour is red and its planets are Earth and Saturn.  Its stones are : Garnet, Ruby, Onyx, Obsidian.  

Meditation on: I am.  Balancing this chakra gives energy to the physical body, controls fear, increases overall health and helps in grounding.  Energies: Earth, Grounding, Focusing, Centring.


What colours have been popping in to your awareness I wonder?

It's curious to me how the message associated with the solar plexus comes to visit. Frustration has been quite the companion of late, since coming back from overseas I've not been feeling very energised and so was dragging myself to DO stuff.. that wasn't feeling like a flow much at all. I didn't even blog about the trip? I may come back around to that and post things out of date order.. because who cares? Ms Virgo will have to just deal with that glitch, it's not that important.

... I'll sign off here . . . this week I was listening to a sounds true interview...  (here's a link to it)
Kristin Neff : The Liberating Power of Self-Compassion which was a wonderful one about treating oneself with kindness and compassion.. it's a much more inspiring and heart warming focus than 'self esteem' which can result in comparisons and wanting to be better than someone else (name anyone who you're comparing yourself with here I guess) .. and a super star rather than shine your own freakin star self. 
I need CONSTANT reminding to do this, and whenever I do, life goes a whole lot better.. both physically and in my very busy thinking a lot head.

     Books I Love

    “There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.” 
    - Anais Nin
