I wanted to post some things I wrote from 40 days to Optimal Health Program that Jennifer Kelly and I wrote and conducted at the Yogi Tree this January and February.
“The light that shines beyond this heaven, beyond all, in
the highest worlds beyond which there are none higher, is truly the same light
that shines with the person.”
- Chandogya Upanishad
As we spend this week at the Yogi Tree investigating the Fire Element I would
like to explore the concept of inner light. Light and Fire are two aspects of
the same basic energy. In many traditions
there is the idea that every human being has an inner light or a divine spark. Once
our inner light is illuminated our personal transformation speeds us enormously. We become all fired up. We are full of
enthusiasm. The word enthusiasm means
“to be infused with god force”
As humans we can be considered radiate sources of light or walking
stars. Sometimes I have a moment in drawing session where I feel like
everything I make is somehow turning out beautifully. Many refer to this as in flow but I have
always called it being on fire. I know all the moves to make. I am unconsciously creating with a divine
spark. Seeing all the details. Knowing how to translate from the model to my
page. I feel connected to the universe. No longer are my hands making the art, the art is making itself.
These experiences are when I feel closest to God, I feel God inside of me.
My seeing has changed from ordinary vision. In yoga we speak of three eyes. The left eye is lunar, night, feminine,
receptive, the right eye is solar, day, masculine, dynamic expression. The
third eye, in the center of the forehead, and is the seat of inner vision,
intuition, perception and clairvoyance. In these drawing sessions when I am on
fire I feel as if I am seeing through my 3rd eye.
JOURNALING QUESTIONS
1) Do you feel as if you have an inner light or divine
spark?
2) What would you like to rapidly transform in your life?
3) Have you ever had an experience of being on fire or in
flow?
4) Are there moments when you feel as if you are seeing
through your third eye? Elaborate
