At this time I would usually be reading. Well, still reading.
Lately I have had this feeling of not being able to fully express myself. Not being able to find the words that I want to speak. (Even now as I am typing this.)
So, I decided to pick up an old book of mine that I read at the beginning of this year, because I came to a sort of epiphany last night as my friend was editing this painting in front of me. (His creativity is flowing.)
Well, in a sort of non-western philosophy regarding chakras, the fifth chakra is the house of creativity and communication. One of its major connections is the second chakra where sensations and information enter into the body.
As my mind started to make some connections I realized that, well, there is a lot of connection going on in my body. (Not necessarily mind-body connection quite yet, rather body-body, mind-mind.)
Recently, my biggest work in yoga has been releasing my hips/lower back (second chakra), and the tightest part of my upper body, my neck/shoulders (fifth chakra). Until today I didn't realize that both were connected.
So, revelation, uncovered.
Fresh out of college, well-traveled, loved, active, happy, yet missing my full potential for creativity.
The only conclusion I have come to is that instead of consistently letting new information flood my brain, it is time to simply create and re-organize all that I have gathered. To help release the beauty of knowledge and creativity within myself the only thing I have left to do is physically create. Whether that be cooking, singing, dancing, writing (like I am now), meditating, etc.
Thanks for reading.
Thanks for filling your second chakra for the day.
Consider it your daily dose.
