A New Energy Grid

From Anthony - Serving a life sentence in prison A teaching from Ramana Maharshi that has always resonated with me is that anxiety is a creation of the mind our real nature is peace. What I have found is that once my mind becomes still in meditation I experience my true nature which is still, silent peace. I have been in prison for many years the collective energy in here is definitely constrictive. However, I have found that I am only affected by the collective energy when I am identified with whatever is going on in the mental/emotional realm. The language of peace is still silence. When I remember that underlying energy within my own being I can also sense it as the underlying energy of the chaos in my external environment. Anthony From JT - When this beautiful soul says, "many years" that means 22 years in prison. I appreciate his humility and I believe those 22 years are equivalent to PhD or higher in practicing patience, the power of "Let Go" and meditation, and worth a mention. I have learned from my client (and honestly a friend too) that silence is a privilege. He wakes up at 2 or 3 a.m. every day to meditate because it is the only time he has pure silence in the prison to meditate for 1-2 hours. As for me, I appreciate the mention of archetypal energy as my life has been spent in archetypal energy. So much so that when I didn't know if I was going to die, I had a great urge to write my experiences for my daughter. Spending 4 years writing books and sharing with her how the Angel, the Warrior, the Mother and the Siren play a part in my life and many others. We all wear many "faces" and travel through what I see as The Four Pillars in life: Death Illness Sensuality Mothering I love how this article shares that we all have those feelings that go with the archetypes and the places we have been or the people we have been surrounded by. Not assigning whether they are positive or negative emotions but rather be the Witness and feel how those emotions arise. My life's work and passion revolve around how we integrate the archetypes and the Four Pillars. The media and society (depending on your culture- I am speaking of the one in USA) often hide from death and illness. These pillars in life have a negative connotation. When in reality they can lead to joy, awakenings and release. There is always wisdom within the suffering. Same with the Siren and the Mother - women are often looked down upon if they are a sensual being and a mother (and depending on your culture and upbringing sensuality may always be wrong or bad). My personal story that involves disrupting the inertia has to do with the Siren energy - sensuality and bald spots! I love to play in energies and integrate opposites. For instance, my immune system decided it wanted to attack my hair follicles (my immune system has attacked my muscles, joints, skin, lung ...list goes on and the Warrior and Angel within me are strong because of it). When I saw the 6 bald spots, first I became curious, and then I cycled through grief and sadness for about 30 min. Then I evoked the Siren's sensual energy to get curious and look at these new happening to my body. I have had very thick hair all my life and interesting to lose some of it. As I became curious about my bald spots I thought about how the Siren finds wisdom in unusual places and how she plays with the the five senses. I realized these new bald spots were extra sensitive. I noticed what it was like to get really in tune with the places where there was no hair. It was a cool sensation! Untouched skin is sensitive to heat and cold. I ran through how society might deem bald spots as unhealthy or a sign of aging.....then I sat in curiosity about all the emotions that arise with vanity. All just emotions as I am still the spirit within this skin bag:). This experience makes me want to talk with people with bald spots or who are newly balding and how they have experienced it. I know when hair loss is more apparent it may be harder to accept vs when you can hide it (which I can at this point because I have a lot of hair but don't know what the future brings I may look like a monk:). On my journey with chronic illness I have learned the more I share with the world the less it has a sting or shame...because Light moves through transparent vessels:)

Oh dear God....LOL I had no idea the spacing didn't come through. That will be the last time I write something that long:). Can't wait to read many of you're entries.
