2. Nature

Tree Roots

5_Throat Chakra - Underworld

Throat Chakra – Nature’s Archetype – Lower World

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 we have been told before sharing them with others.Understand the origins of how this story began. Sense what feels true to our soul before sharing it withothers. As a storyteller, we have the opportunity to heal old stories by telling it in a new way. As we shareour stories through the spoken word, we create a new reality for ourself and future generations.

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

3. Sacred Geometry

Fruit of Life

12_Fruit of Life - Throat

Throat Chakra – Sacred Geometry – Fruit of Life

The throat chakra contains the fruit or gift of breath and storytelling. It is here that the mystery teachings of creation are seen as aspects of cosmic order. By adding two rings of circles onto the Flower of Life matrix, the Fruit of Life is ready for harvest.

The first mystery teaching is revealed by adding a ring of 18 circles, representing an 18-year Saros cycle, that predicts lunar and solar eclipses onto the Flower of Life. A total of 36 circles around a central one represents 36 weeks or 9 months. The exact time for human life to gestate in the mother’s womb. The central one, now moves through the mysterious watery world of the dark lunar womb into the light solar world of air. Here it receives the first gift of breath, which awakens the infant’s consciousness as life begins.

The second mystery is revealed by adding a second ring of 24 circles, representing the 24-hours in a solar day, onto the existing 36 circles. A total of 60 circles now rotate around the central one, demonstrating the mathematical synchronicity of why there are 60 minutes in one hour and 60 seconds within one minute.

Another story is revealed when a pattern of 13 independent circles is seen within the 61 interlocking circles of the Fruit of Life. These 13 circles represent the four seasons of the year (spring, summer, fall and winter) that are each exactly 13-weeks long. Together they create the ongoing rhythm within a 52-week solar year. Based on a seven-day week, 52 weeks equals 364 days. Each season was ceremoniously marked during the fall and spring equinox and the winter and summer solstice. This knowledge of time and order was a powerful tool that allowed the age of agriculture to flourish. Unfortunately, some abused this power and the knowledge was kept a secret for only a select few to know. When the knowledge of our natural world came under attack it was forced to go underground for over a thousand years. This created countless stories that instilled fear and separation as people became disconnected from the rhythms of nature and cosmic order of life.

The Fruit of Life contains the hidden story of how the creation of time came to be. By understanding how we are intertwined with the sacred order of the sun and moon we empower ourselves to reconnect with our true nature as one with the cosmos.

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

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

4. Platonic Solids

Octahedron

19_Air - Octahedron - Throat

Throat Chakra – Element of Air – Platonic solids 

The octahedron represents the element of air, which is expressed in the throat chakra through our breath and our voice. Breathing is a reciprocal process of receiving and releasing life force energy.

An octahedron is a polygon with eight equal triangular faces. It is made up of two four-sided triangles(pyramids) of equal proportion that meet at the base. These dual pyramids represent cosmic balance.Greek philosophers saw two levels of air. “Aer” is the atmosphere that we breathe, which surrounds ourearth. “Aether” is the air above the clouds associated with the divine sky.

Air is the creative essence of life; breath creates life through vibration. In Chinese philosophy air is chi orbreath, 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: We are being asked to become more conscious of the air we breathe and how we breathe. Use our breath to exhale any heavy energy and inhale life-giving energy. As we find our inner balance, allow ourself to rest and recharge. We are entering a period of renewed creativity in our life. Be conscious how our words and our voice create our reality.

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

6. Consciousness

Collective Unconscious

Fruit of Life

Throat Chakra – Archetypes – Consciousness

The collective unconscious is held within the shared stories, memories, instincts, and experiences common to all humans.

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 us to reclaim the wisdom that is within us. Look at the old stories of our life and see the wisdom hiding among the fears and gifts. This will help us to speak our truth and share it with others from a place of peaceful power.  Words spoken with love and wisdom are the most powerful gifts we 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
