Houses and Temples

She folded forward to a place that she knew before.    It was’nt the same,andThat was when her body  tore.  Your body. How do you you see it? As shelter?

A beautiful, solid, magnificent Temple?   Yet again maybe a fortress?Angi MudraDo you build your house for approval?  Does your love wait for his removal?  If you cannot trust your love to be true, then through the roof you will always see through, and like the heavens.  You will always be blue.  Day and night will only change its hue.  Do you build your existence on the foundation of your family? Are you looking for the approval of your Mother? Father? Brothers or sisters? Your husband?  Did Someone or something make you feel unsure or inadequate?  Are you manipulated by what other people think?  FOUNDATIONzachyoga_mg_7434.jpgConnect to the earth. From the moment at birth to the last breath you take.  It was the breath that carried you, and the Earth that craddles you.  Take the breath, and feel it deep.  Open your lungs.  It’s life you seek.  Now, feel your feet.  Energy spiralling through the street.  The Nickel core of the Earth it vibrates with the sound of Om. Forever more, your body begins to feel.  Its time to clear away the weakness. Its time to purify your soul.  You must work to make yourself whole.
