SHAPELY BUDDHAS quadra blue u-shapes interwoven at the tips look: shapely Buddhas the four quadrants can represent the four directions and the four elements, the blue Buddhas adding mindful clarity for creative/imaginative wisdom...Buddhas are all interconnected...the directions and elements are in relationship, in harmony. stand in the center of a power spot in nature, a place you have visited many times (a power spot is simply a place where you feel an experiential give and take of energy from nature within your body). Ground yourself into the earth (feel the earth with bare feet), and imagine the energy from the sky and sun filling you with light and love, from the top of your head into and through the body, and out the feet into the ground...Look to the north and let your eyes lightly scan for each of the elements in turn (earth, air, fire, or water)...you may not find all of them...that's okay...connecting with even one element is a cause for rejoicing...turning clockwise, fac...

OWL WISDOM 4 owl creatures stare into your eyes with a glare receive the wisdom the owl is a symbol of wisdom in many children's fables and adult myths...here, there are not 1 but 4 owl creatures (they don't quite look like owls but rather owl-like in appearance), the 4th owl on the right edge is only partly visible, indicating that even owl wisdom has its limits, that we can't completely see into the future, that some wisdom rests in the sea of possibility, dependent on our free will choices. The 4 owls can also symbolize 4 types of wisdom...perhaps earth, air, fire, and water wisdom...of the body, mind, spirit, and emotions...each has something to teach us if we are ready and willing to learn. find a photo, image, painting, drawing, and/or figurine of an owl(s) that appeals to you...there are many types of owls, from the familiar barn owl to the white snow owl to the elf owl that makes it home in a cactus)...create a place for the owl where you will frequently notice it (...

HOT SPOTS the male and female laying next to each other 3 red hot spots flame some chemicals produce an explosion (gunpowder and a match), some meld together (water and food coloring), some don't mix well (oil and water)...similarly, male and female when combined can, as seen in the image, produce red hot spots that potentially flame...these hot spots can remain isolated or they can join...more broadly, within each of us, male and female energies arise, joining, fighting, or remain relatively independent, depending on how we attend and focus on them...ideally, the male and female energies combine, creating a new energy, birthing something that didn't exist before...this is the realm of creativity and imagination, and part of what makes life intriguing/exciting. bring your attention to your breath...breath in comfortably and slowly from the belly, and breathe out comfortably and slowly...breathing in we receive the air (the air in nature being the male penetrating us)...we being...
