The ONE who is the most caring person I know . . . well, that is the person or persons doing the caring, meeting with care, the ONE who needs the caring. The ONE who cares for the ONE who needs caring has the ability to respond (responsibility). I look out at the abilities I see here and I see the ONE who cares in each face.

I dunno. I started to write about it and then thought, "No, then I'm already wrong if I try to place freedom in some perceived box of definition." So, I dunno

Are we free "from" something or free "to do" something? I think the approach one takes is interesting. I think Little Big O wrote something about this in one of his blogs. Anyway, I guess I'm FREE to say, "I DUNNO".

Shift gears?? My transmission is automatic!!! I'm changing moment to moment . . .   ;-D

It would be different for each of us. What we believe becomes our reality. Everything is sacred to me, regardless of its form.

Nope. There is always some sort of exchange of energy. Maybe a better question is this: Can things be given without conditions? And to that I would say yes. We can give without expectations of exchange, or expectations of what the fruits will look like from our givingess.

Listen carefully - NO! Just like that. Say what you mean and mean what you say, even if it is NO! Stick to it.

Safe from what??? What is this need to feel safe? Safe from harm, from death . . .? I feel vulnerable most of the time. I'm secure in my understanding that nothing is lost. Remember, the property changes.

I don't know what would make it perfect, but I do know that I'll be happy in the perfection and imperfection of the day. I almost think this question really is asking, what would "please" me today? And with that, I could list all of the attachments that might please me! Let me just be in this moment with both perfection and imperfection and not stop in time to divide the two or make judgements about which I'd rather have or not have in my experience. Times-a-wastin' with such things.

A friend had shared this in another forum.

Lost
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you,
If you leave it you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.

I experienced what I call 3rd chakra blow out on Thursday evening, stuff (crap) that I've been holding in and onto for a long time. It is manifesting in a physical way but my now wanting to hold my belly in. I'm just too relaxed now to do that. I'm terribly thirsty and sense that this is the element that relates to that area and the element that will help me heal. "Still waters run deep." I sat outside this morning in the cool mist and felt it move through my body, the soothing and cleansing mist of love. I have an urge to just be in the water, to have it on my feet, to drink it, to let it wash over me. So, today I will take a luxurious bath, using some AlcheMystic products (be sure to see Mimi's products - they have such healing qualities). I wish I could be Niagra Falls, just sitting listening to its force, wash over the falls.

Anybody here got some 3rd chakra healing information you'd like to share?
