SPIRALING spiraling outward in ever greater circles smiling entities when water drains in sinks, tubs, and wells, it spirals counterclockwise toward the earth...in this image, multiple spirals start at the center and move outward, eventually coming into the fullness of smiling entities. Richard Bandler, in his version of neuro linguistic programming, describes a technique of spiraling one's index finger, either clockwise or counterclockwise, to increase/decrease the intensity of an emotion or of energy in a specific area of the body...try it for yourself...when happy (like the smiling entities in the image), see if you can increase the intensity of the feeling of happiness by spinning the index finger of your dominant hand clockwise/counterclockwise (one direction will increase the energy, the other direction will decrease the energy)...you can also experiment with increasing the energy by spinning your finger faster and/or in larger circles (or for negative emotions, to spin slowe...

COL ORED BA LLS  colored balls spinning  inward, outward, with each breath wheels of chakras for our entire lives, we breath,...in and out...about 6-12 times a minute, depending on our circumstances and mind-body connection...ancient wisdom suggests that chakras are energy vortexes that spin throughout our bodies...here the chakras are depicted as colored balls...continuously changing, adjusting, balancing...our breath can assist or crack this healthy balancing of energies. practice: note how you're feeling on a scale of 0-10, with 10 being a state of optimal well-being...then observe yourself while taking 3 conscious breaths seated or standing comfortably with eyes closed...inhale to whatever count feels comfortable and exhale about twice as long...check in with yourself at the end of the 3 breath cycle...re-evaluate on the 0-10 well being scale...compare this number with the first number...did the conscious breathing nudge you in the direction of well-being (a higher number...

10 SHADES 10 shades of color bluish greenish zigzagging a door...a portal one color covers the canvas, followed by another, and another, until there are 10 shades of color in all, overlapping, blending, integrating...unknown to me until the end of the sketching appeared a door...eventually we will step through the portal into another world. as we live each decade of our lives, we can think of them as colors, marking the places, peoples, ideas, and things with our energy, our particular shade of color...these shades overlap with each decade, combining to eventually form (unknown to us in the living of each decade) a doorway, a portal that at death, we transition through to another world/dimension/state of being. i did not start out intentionally trying to create a doorway, yet it came to be in time through the shading of different overlapping colors, in the living of a life...what colors are you drawn to, what kind of life are you creating, is there a doorway/portal to "something e...

DANCING BALL OF LIGHT let us be dancing connected to the great ball love, light, energy for part of my morning prayer, i envision my feet in the sand at the edge of the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, holding hands with my family/tribe...all of us dancing, singing, connected to the great ball of love, light, and energy at sunrise, in a safe space outdoors, connect bare feet to the earth and imagine, with your hands outstretched at both sides, holding hands with those you love...visualize your family/tribe dancing on the great ball of the earth invigorated with sunlight...sing up the sun...feel the love and light in each other and all around.

SPHERES amid the gold spheres a pattern reveals itself support...compassion the gold spheres form a linear trajectory from the lower left of the image below to the upper right, growing in size with each iteration forward in time...the spheres are supported from above and below by other colored spheres...holding a trajectory with compassion who supports your life trajectory with compassion (empathy and action)? who's life trajectory can you support with compassion? focus on one person, and one small act of compassion that takes less than 5 mins. to complete...act within the next hour if you can, for sure within the next 24 hours...how do you feel...how did they feel...perhaps this could be the beginning of a virtuous trajectory...
