When my first series of chakras sold, I purchased some beautiful silk. Inspired by the fantastic work of Angelo Filomeno, I planned to make the Body Chakra series. Silk is beautiful, but it isn't easy. Silk is tough to work with. It puckers, holds needle marks when you need to un-pick, and is generally unforgiving. However, it is the emotions that silk evokes. If I feel silk between my fingers, I take an inhale aww, its lovely. It is valuable and special. Our own emotions and feelings are also valuable. We would do well to observe our emotions. Know what brings you joy and what brings you down. Know that feelings change, and it is OK to sit with your sadness. Have a full emotional pallet. However, don't let emotions entirely run your life. Observe how your feelings change around others. Ask yourself if you are absorbing their energy or if you are giving your energy away. It's essential to your health and well-being to know your emotional state. We can experience a wonderful life full of joy if we always find a way to feel love for ourselves and radiate that love to others.
Let your feeling ebb and flow like ocean tides, but always anchor yourself with love.
