Daily spiritual practice is, what brings forth personal growth and I find, it also sharpens and deepens my extrasensory abilities that are so essential in my shamanic work as a seer, healer and teacher.

One part of my daily practice is meditating just after I get up in the morning, before breakfast. It is the magical “in between time”, when I am awake and “wide open“, but not yet in the grip of the hectic day ahead.

 During the last 2 weeks or so I use a reading in the book “Messages of the Great Goddess” by S. D. von Gagern as my focus point for the morning meditation.

 Inspired by ancient engravings into the soft rock inside the many caves of the Ile-de-France, this lady developed a set of symbols that are to empower women and lead them to experience the sacred feminine within themselves.

With this book in hand I step out onto our deck into a beautiful spring morning filled with birdsongs. I sit down in a comfy chair and read today’s exercise.

It focuses on an ancient petroglyph, a triangle with a small circle in its centre and equates this symbol as one example of the beginnings of sacred geometry.

The reader is then advised to visualize this symbol drawn in pure light upon the third eye or brow chakra and concentrate on the energy it emits.

I put the book aside, lean back, close my eyes and make the symbol appear on my forehead. It forms as pale yellow light, then develops fine, hair-like grey lines throughout and then just as fast “defragments” along these lines, bursting apart, growing, spreading outward, and exploding... All over my body, top to toe, I now am pale yellow with spider-like grey lines!

 A sentence falls into my head:” My third eye is in my left toe!”

But there is no time to comprehend the meaning of that; as I see, from my toe on outward, the pale yellow - grey patterned energy is spreading across the deck in front of me and along the cloth line where, our bird feeders are hanging! Then it races out into the surrounding forest, into and across the water, across the vast land, all across Mother Earth, across the Universe and beyond and also back into me from behind. ”Everywhere” is my third eye and “everywhere” is a part of me and I am “everywhere“.

 A part of this “everywhere” is scampering up my leg, sits up on my knee and starts keckering loudly.

“The third eye on my knee wants peanuts!”

It is not easy to continue meditating with a Squirrel sitting on the knee!

I KNOW!

 I tried before!

Thoughts about chakras:

Chakras have “rules!

 - rules like how many one is supposed to have

- rules like where they are

 - rules like what colours they have

- rules like what exactly they activate and enhance

 - rules???????

 - Why only THERE?????

 - What ifffff my - or one of my chakras is in my left toe - or my right???? !!!

 - Or my elbow??!!

 - I have chakras everywhere! :)

- All kinds of them!! :)

- and since I am a part of the Universe and the Universe is a part of me - -

- - one of my chakras is the Canada Goose nesting in our pond!

 - and one is the Squirrel!

- and the Hummingbird that is darting around my nose right now!
