The Earth's First Chakra Doll

Chakras – The Gateways to Consciousness.  The 7 energy centers of the etheric body.

A “quirky” doll, I thought.   A  gift to Paige from Aunt Sheryl 15 years ago.

When I have a strong draw to something warmth expands inside.  My heart smiles.  It is a sense of fullness.

Solar Plexus – Position in the center of the body gives this  Chakras  its significance.  Impulses such as desire, wishes blend with impulses coming from above.  This is where the personality is formed.  Feeling and Being are integrated here.  This is the melting pot of spiritual and earthy aspects.

Heart – The center of the Chakra system.  Here authentic impulse (art or music) are processed into feelings and emotion. Unconditional love.  Healing by acceptance of suffering.

Paige wasn’t a “doll”  type of girl.

I am  not the re-gifting type, but have been known to take loads of stuff to the Salvation Army.  I did sell a wedding gift at a garage sale once, 10 years after our blissful wedded day.  I’m sure it was from my sister and it wasn’t because I didn’t love it THEN.  It just didn’t fit anymore.

The doll?  It stayed, bouncing with us with each move, finding it’s place in the bottom of toy chests.

Aunt Sheryl led, what I thought was a, unique life.  I can’t say that I spent an enormous amount of time with her, but the time spent was pronounce.   Some would say she was a hippie.   She was loved by many, rich, poor, gay and straight.  She had her struggles.  She was wise.

Since her passing her spirit has stayed with me.  I have come to rely on it in a way.

I picked up the doll last night.   I HAD A GUT FEELING.  My Heart Grew.

Paige is taking world religion this semester.  It is of great interest of her as she explores her own beliefs and the essence of what is true for her.  I bought a reference card on the 7 Chakras recently and her and I have discussed the concepts.   It resonates with what is true for her.

I’ve never noticed these colored circles.  OH Sheryl!  You Knew.  You shared in an unassuming way.

In that moment.  I knew.  When I handed the doll to Paige she knew.

Paige, “Aunt Sheryl gave you this doll when you were little.”

She looked at me.  I saw her smile.  I knew the smile she was having inside as well.

Mom, “Oh My God.  I am going to sleep with it every night.”

You don’t know what you don’t know until you know.  And in an instant you don’t know again, so we continue to seek and share what is true for us with others, with full heart.
