5. Roots – Throat Chakra – Vocal System – Nature’s Archetype

The throat chakra is located in the throat and is connected to the vocal system. This is the place of communication, resonance and truth.

The roots of a tree symbolize the origins of stories that have been told and stored in the subconscious mind. These stories hold the roots of world belief, as ancient humans saw trees as benevolent beings that held the secrets of life and death. The throat chakra reminds us to use our words and our silence wisely.

A tree’s roots sink deep into the earth from where we begin and return. The association of death and the underworld is long standing. It was seen as a place where the physical body returned to replenish the earth for future generations. Burial rituals honored death as a preparation for rebirth or reincarnation.

Mankind’s fascination with death and rebirth created epic and mythical stories of deities who ruled the Under World, Upper World and Middle World. This laid the foundation for many of today’s beliefs and religions. These fabled stories grew through the ancient tradition of storytelling as epic tales were passed on from one generation to another. Each storyteller added their own voice.

Message: Search for the deeper meaning of the stories you have been told before sharing them with others. Understand the origins of how this story began. Know what feels true to your soul before sharing it with others. As a storyteller, you have the opportunity to heal old stories by telling it in a new way. As you share your stories through the spoken word, you help create a new reality for yourself and future generations.

“Maybe you are searching among branches for what only appears in the roots”  – Rumi

12. Fruit of Life – Throat Chakra – Sacred Geometry

The throat chakra, connected to our vocal system, contains the creation essence of expression. The Fruit of Life represents the “fruits” of the Flower of Life, which grew from the Seed of Life, birthed in the Portal of Life within the Container of Life. This sense of cosmic order was made possible by observing the cyclical nature of our cosmos.

The Fruit of Life builds upon the 19 (7 + 12 = 19) interlocking circles of the Flower of Life. Two additional “rings” of 18 and 24 circles are added to form an interlocking matrix of sixty-one circles (7 + 12 + 18 + 24 = 61). These 61 circles hold the story of time. Its gift is to see how the past, present and future are one.

The first ring of 18 circles represents a Saros, an 18-year cycle used to predict lunar and solar eclipses. By adding these 18 circles to the 19 circles in the Flower of Life a total of 37 circles appear.

The “gift of life” is revealed by seeing how 36 circles are rotating around a central “one”. This equates to 36 (7-day) weeks or nine months, the approximate time for human life to gestate. A child as the central “One” moves through the mysterious water world of the (dark/lunar) womb into the (light/solar) world of air. Here it recieves its first breath, which awakens the gift of consciousness. This creation story expands our awareness of how time and life itself are intertwined with the sacred order of the cosmos.

The second ring of 24 circles represents the 24-hours in one solar day. By combining both rings with the Flower of Life a total of 60 circles are now rotating around the central one, representing 60 minutes in one hour or 60 seconds within one minute.

The “Fruit of Life” pattern is revealed by seeing the 13 independent circles within it. These 13 circles represent the four seasons of the year (spring, summer, fall and winter).  Each are exactly 13-weeks long, together they form a 52-week solar year (13 x 4 = 52).

The Fruit of Life contains the creation story of time and life itself. Many prophecies have been inspired by the cosmic dance of light and dark, which represent the harmonious fruits of life.

Message: It is time to get your self organized and prepared.  Become aware of your surroundings and identify what needs to shift in order to move forward. Share your insights and stories with someone who can help you move into this new reality.

“Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.” – Plato

19. Octahedron – Air – Throat Chakra – Platonic Solid 

Theoctahedronrepresentsthe element ofair, which is expressed in thethroat chakra through our breath and our voice. Breathing is a reciprocal process of receiving and releasing life force energy.

 

Anoctahedronis a polygon witheightequaltriangularfaces.Itismadeupoftwofour-sidedtriangles(pyramids)ofequalproportionthat meet at the base.These dualpyramidsrepresentcosmicbalance.Greekphilosopherssawtwolevelsofair.“Aer” is the atmosphere that we breathe, which surrounds our earth. “Aether” is the air above the clouds associated with the divine or sky.

Air is the creative essence of life; breath creates life through vibration. In Chinese philosophy air is chi or breath, the eternal source of life force energy. In Hindu tradition, Prana is the act of breathing in life. In Christianity, breath in the form of a word was seen as the creation essence of God.

The air we breathe is in fact made up of nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide. Trees are often called the lungs of earth because they breathe in carbon dioxide and release life giving oxygen. Breathing is a reciprocal process as we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.

Becoming mindful of breathing is to be present now.

Message: You are being asked to become more conscious of the air you breathe and how you breathe. Use your breath to exhale any heavy energy and inhale life-giving energy. As you find your inner balance, allow yourself to rest and recharge. You are entering a period of renewed creativity in your life. Be conscious how your words and your voice create your reality.

“Breath is the bridge, which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts.” -Thich Nhat Hanh

6. Consciousness

40. Collective Unconscious

40. Collective Unconscious – Throat Chakra – Fruit of Life – Consciousness

The collective unconscious is held within the shared stories, memories, instincts, and experiences common to all mankind. Carl Jung saw these patterns as archetypes that were manifested through dreams and behaviors. These collective shadows are influenced by ancestral experiences that shaped science, religion and morality. The throat chakra holds the stories of our collective unconscious. These stories were passed on through generations of storytellers. The throat holds the archetypal wounds of man and woman, etched in the shadow of the psyche.

By shedding light on the shadowy stories held within the collective unconscious we see them for what they are. From here we can begin to rewrite the stories and shed light for others to heal. The goal is to awaken the collective unconscious to become conscious of our choices and heal these old stories to create a better world.

Message: It is time for you to reclaim the wisdom that is within you.  Look at the old stories of your life and see the wisdom hiding among the fears and gifts. This will help you speak your truth and share it with others from a place of peaceful power.  Words spoken with love and wisdom are the most powerful gifts you can give to the world.

“The collective unconscious – so far as we can say anything about it at all – appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. In fact, the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious” – Carl Jung
