Everyone I know (yes, both of them), has been telling me lately that it would be good for my nonexistent base chakra to get out of my overheated brow chakra and into the “fresh air” a little more (whatever that may be).
I figured I was handling that issue by using a window fan, but to each their own.
So this morning I took my tea out onto the deck, and I snapped a photo of it with my phone, because I knew that no one would actually believe me.
But see? There it is.
There’s very little chance that I just left it out there and ran directly back into the house.
Very. Little. Chance.
Actually it was quite nice outside, although surprisingly noisy. We live in a pretty neighborhood, but on a rather busy street, and the sound of the cars going by kicks up quite a racket.
I’m actually surprised at how quiet it is inside the house, by comparison.
Also there are quite a number of dogday harvest flies out this summer, and the sound of them pitching woo to each other can be earsplitting.
Aww – just like Romeo and Juliet, only deeply disturbing. Thanks, Wikipedia.
But it was a lovely day, and I enjoyed taking a moment just to feel the breeze on my face, and to sit and absorb the sounds around me, which is a form of meditation in itself.
It’s also a great way to enhance the intuition, because that’s really all that intuition is.
It’s just the willingness to sit still and listen to something other than your own thoughts – something sweeter and a little higher up.
And when I conduct aura readings, all I’m really doing is just listening to the client’s energy, whatever it chooses to tell me.
So I hope it didn’t ruin the exercise that I meditated while I was out there, which isn’t entirely base chakra, but I do find that meditation makes almost every experience nicer.
Oh, and I texted my mother too, which doesn’t hurt. 
So grab up your own cup of tea, or whatever pleases you, and head on outside for a little root chakra warmup of your own.
But don’t let those harvest flies hit on you.
You would NOT like the way your kids turn out.
I’m not sure what my base chakra is, but if being outside is good for it, chances are mine is running on empty, too. So, you know what? I’m going to follow your example and head outside for awhile. It IS a lovely day. And I have tea. No really pretty tea cup like yours, so I’ll have to settle for a Hogwarts mug.
P.S. I don’t know if we have copulating harvest flies down here – I’m never outside long enough to find out!
Oh, heck, that teacup was like, $8.50 at stashtea.com. It’s not bone china or anything, but it’s one of my favorites anyway.
And I totally approve of Hogwarts mugs – I myself have a Dr. Who Disappearing Tardis mug that I’m really quite fond of, despite the fact that it can’t be microwaved, put in the dishwasher, looked at directly, or used to hold an actual beverage. But man, is it COOL!
Thank goodness I’m not alone in having Puny Base Chakra Syndrome, or PBCS. We have suffered in silence too long. We should totally like, blog more about it, from the privacy of our own homes, when we’re not busy doing super awesome spiritual stuff, or like, reading a good book or whatever.
Sounds like somebody needs to go role around in the dirt for a while. But not with those cicadas, they might take it the wrong way. Get yourself some more house plants, lady. Or a big fat river stone. And yeah…. go out side you pale creature!
Dude, I’ve got like, 300 terrariums now, thanks to my friend Gloria the Terrarium Lady. I think I’m using them instead of cats, in fact, since my boyfriend is allergic. Some of them do have stones in them, though.
But I don’t want to lose my beloved paleness – it would ruin my whole “crazy psychic lady” mystique. Which I have, right??
That’s what sunscreen is for, silly.
Does it look like I don’t know that? I own stock in several sunscreen companies by now.
I just don’t want people to see how sparkly I am in the sunlight, and write a bunch of silly books about me. It could happen.
Oh…. Jenny, you might have to sit down for this… I have some bad news for you….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu_PY405f40
That’s okay – he wasn’t Jewish enough for me anyway.
Ahaha.
Your mother is proud of you for going outside. Meditation is totally allowed. And you’d probably have to admit that lovesick harvest flies are better than pregnant female mosquitoes, right?
No kidding – I think I got another bite while walking to the store just now. So that’s TWICE I’ve been out of the house today. Heaven forfend.
