#Epilogue

Well #7syllablesentence, we've ended our 7 #chakra tour

From Root to Crown, I thoroughly enjoyed all your great work, and am thankful for all the new friends

I leave with a 7 syllable translation of "Namaste":

I Bow To God Within You

The crown #chakra (Sahasrara) has the Nov 8th #7syllablesentence prompt:

#transcendance

we end at new beginnings
the thousand petaled lotus
seen clearly and unhidden
profound absolute silence
an empty void full of light
worlds within worlds within worlds
universal connection
A manadala for the Sahasrara charkra (aka crown chakra), courtesy of Wikipedia. Although no description of this particular mandala is given, the article does describe this chakra as: "Sahasrara is described as a lotus flower with 1,000 petals of different colors. These are arranged in 20 layers, each with approximately 50 petals. The pericarp is golden and within it a circular moon region is inscribed with a luminous triangle, which can be either upward- or downward-pointing."

The third eye #chakra (Ajna) has the Nov 7th #7syllablesentence prompt:

#perception

discriminating wisdom
cutting through all confusion
somehow knowing right from wrong
my insight pierces the veil
i hear all sounds in one sound
both the beginning and end
all thoughts that arise must fall
A mandala for the Ajna chakra (aka third-eye chakra), courtesy of Wikipedia, which describes it as: "a diamond-like lotus of two petals, presided by Hamsa Devata, and Susumna Sakti. It corresponds to the Vijnana state and Anupama Vak, and to the half matra of the Pranava."

The throat #chakra (Vishuddha) has the Nov 6th #7syllablesentence prompt:

#expression

i calls ‘em like i sees ‘em
but i’ll listen just the same
tuned to chanting’s overtones
higher level orchestras
reciting guidance mantras
learned lessons in each story
sorrow’s glory voiced in song
A mandala for the Vishuddha chakra (aka throat chakra), courtesy of Wikipedia, which describes it as: "this chakra is described as having a "white color" with sixteen "purple" or "smoke-colored petals." Within the pericarp is a sky-blue downward pointing triangle containing a circular white region like the full moon. This represents the element of akasha or "aether." "

The heart #chakra (Anahata) has the Nov 5th #7syllablesentence prompt:

the day my heart stops beating
i will be gone from this world
my memory will live on
in the heart beats of others
such touched hearts beat forever
endless chains of melody
the softest unstruck wind chime

creating life together

our house is built upon rock

Thanks to @gabriellev.art for all the FRIGHTS on #7syllablesentence.

Freaky Stuff!

I’m hosting next, and since I did the Taoist 5 Elements of #chi on #BlueSkyRelay, I thought it’d be fun to take our 7 syllables and go through the 7 #chakra system of hinduism/buddhism.

Om…

See u tomorrow

has one written if not read
was a charmed life really lived
quantumly potential swish
all at once yet none at all
is that to where we return
our final destination
unbirthed from acquisitions

have i the time
between hidden tears
alone
in our kitchen

for them to escape
this knowing
perhaps foretold
at least a #moment longer

will there be days
such as this
when mutant dna
and double mystery viruses
have finally caught up
with them or theirs

is that the chicken burning?

i live from rise to fall
the #vagary
the sudden change

did she #swallow too much
or too little
at the right wrong time

will it be enough
from now
til then

how long ago was that

how in god's name will she
ever
navigate all this on her own

i pray you never write this poem

The 5/6 #BlueSkyRelay prompt is #flow

Flow state is moving meditation

Being fully present and engaged

Surfing, singing, dancing, drawing, writing, tai chi, kung fu,...

All playful things find flow

Thanks for exploring chi with me this week

@itsmamabearb.bsky.social is our next host

The 5/5 #BlueSkyRelay prompt is #heart

It’s the yin organ of Fire, which is our remaining chi element, and a recent prompt

This energy is a warm hug with your deepest desire and its fifty best friends

It’s your feelings and intuitions

Read love poems aloud to the bright red light in your heart

The 5/4 #BlueSkyRelay prompt is #wood

It’s one of The Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Wood energy is rising force

A weed pushing aside the cement to exploit a crack

Awakening from a long winter's nap to seek the sun

Bend like a reed in the wind of wood’s bright green light

The 5/3 #BlueSkyRelay prompt is #water

It’s one of The Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Water energy rains down from heaven and goes with the flow

A river doesn’t complain about a boulder in its way, it just effortlessly goes around

Dive within and swim in water’s bright blue light

The 5/2 #BlueSkyRelay prompt is #metal

It’s one of The Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Metal energy is the jewel waiting to be found in deepest dreams

A knife’s edge that cuts away unneeded things

Crystalline distillation

A mineral bath

Breathe in the bright white light of metal

The 5/1 #BlueSkyRelay prompt is #earth

It’s one of The Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Earth energy grounds you in your deepest roots

Always there supporting

Where we all start and end

Takes whatever you need to get rid of and composts it

Dig into the bright yellow light of earth
