Entering the Labyrinth

February 15, 2010, if you feel you need to, you can repeat the 4 sets of 4 breaths from February 13.

For my students, use the “two places at once” technique to enter the labyrinth. Those not currently studying under me, allow your shadow to enter. We must never leave our bodies uninhabited.

When ready, enter and head straight west, one fourth of the way in. The energy, as you move straight west, is there to heal your feet chakras and (literal) footprint. How your foot meets the ground.

Walking the First Labyrinth

As you enter the labyrinth and walk to the west one-fourth of the way in, work on these specific directions below or just be in your practice. Let the energy of the labyrinth heal your feet chakras. The first disruption in our reflective relationship is the energy of pulse from our mother’s uterus. The energy flow through her uterus, as it contracts to meet the baby’s feet, her energy is transferred and becomes the base of the energy in our feet chakras from which we meet the earth (with every step).

Directions for those working with precision and intent: As you walk east, know that the pulse of the labyrinth, like a beacon to the center, is meeting your heel and swirling around your feet chakras. The meeting will clear fear, and turmoil, and non-welcoming or deadness if born by ceasarian section.

The path then will lead to the north. Some of you may want to fight the turning north – you will want to keep going straight. The illusion will be that it is more powerful. We must resist the illusion of “more power” and support ourselves in remembering that none of us can avoid the journey. The journey is as long as the universe is.

You turn north and head northwest. As you head northwest, allow your feet chakras to be fueled, with the pulse touching the outside line of the foot. The act of being met releases and heals the pain of aloneness, along with the fear of being met, i.e., when I am met, I am taken from not nurtured.

February 16:
If you feel you need to, you can repeat the 4 sets of 4 breaths from February 13. We head west again, moving so close to the center, yet not there – we are charging our energy. The heel and outside line of the foot (in Bio Self-Emergence theory) represent how we were met and how we meet.

A simple example: A mother is left alone in delivery, he father (in his own stuff) cannot be present. When the transition stage of labor begins – the male position of the east is not supported in physical form. The energetic gates of the west must be moved through alone – depending on the mother, her response will be varied – some.

Some examples:
Resentful of the baby – When meeting the energy in the feet chakras, this person will have anxiety or worry about whether, if they ask too much, will the person stay or resent them. No amount of insight therapy can clear these.

Some rage at the father – The energy meeting the baby is split. A longing will be there, yet a rage in meeting and being met - the not-so-good push-pull of intimacy.

February 17:
Breathe the 4x4 breath. Create the entrance vortex if wanted or needed. Use 2 places at once or have your shadow enter. Enter, walk, head east, turn north, head northeast, turn south, head southeast – being met. Head east, small turn north, curve around to head west.

As we walk this portion, in the year of the reflective self, we begin to heal the connection to self and movement. We are doing this so close to the center, yet a long journey away for becoming one with our reflective self of movement or pulse. All lines of energy connect through gapped junctions. As we walk the connections of self to sensing, to containment, the portal of connected movement is open and the gapped junctions begin to heal.
