This week we are discovering the qualities of the 2nd Chakra.
In Sanskrit, the second chakra is called Svadisthana, which translates as "one's own place or base," Trying to influence the outer world is not the province of the second chakra. Instead of demanding that our body or a relationship be different, the second chakra encourages us to feel the feelings that arise as we open to life just as it is. As we allow ourselves to accept what is, we taste the sweetness (and bittersweetness) of life. When we relax our resistance to life, our hips let go, our reproductive organs become less tense, and we're open to experiencing our sensuality and sexuality.
Being open to life 'just as it is' is so foreign to me. Aren't we taught early on to make our own destiny and to create the future we want and not watch life roll over us without a fight? Thank you for the beautiful paintings. They are a gift to your family and friends and greatly appreciated.
