Where is the beginning?
What’s at the beginning?
It all starts at the root,
When we’re not grounded,
Branches can’t develop their shoots.
~
Our branches need feeding
With healthy, wholesome foods,
If not they imbalance
And affect our moods.
~
When we work from the bottom
And end up at the top,
We have spinning wheels, or
‘chakras’ which never stop…
~
Want to feel peaceful and calm?
Meditate daily, don’t be shy,
And your friends they may comment,
Share the love, tell them why…
~
…Why you’re feeling grounded
And rooted, like a tree to the earth.
Why those positive thoughts and good food
Give a sense of self-worth.
~
…Why you’re feeling creative
Bursting with thoughts and ideas,
As they ebb and flow like the water,
Eroding your fears.
~
…Why your ego’s not ‘pumped up’,
You’re calm and ‘together’,
You don’t listen to the bad things,
You don’t need ‘lucky heather’.
~
…Why your breathing’s steady and easy
While your heart pumps fresh air,
Pure and cleansed through your body,
To keep you alert and ‘all there’.
~
…Why you’re feeling expressive
And you’re speaking your mind,
Being open and clear,
It’s the best way, you will find.
~
…Why your sixth sense is open,
It’s your third eye, you see.
Is your perception of reality
With them or with ‘me’?
~
…Why your crown’s like a flower,
Its stem’s like your spine,
A petal for each chakra
Now you’re upright and ‘aligned’.
~
Now you’re beginning to see
What your thoughts can do,
Breathe slowly, be mindful
That it all starts with you.

Just commented on the wrong post!! This is fab, finding inner peace is so important 🙂
Yes it is. Without that, it’s an uphill struggle.
This gives such a clear picture of how chakra meditation is helping and benefiting you. I do love the line about your heart pumping fresh air. Thanks for sharing with #TheThemeGame x
Thanks Jocelyn. It was fun to right because it made me realise the benefits even more.
An excellent reminder of the need to nourish the self in all sorts of ways – something I’m finding it harder to do since being a mum even though it’s now probably more important than ever! I’ve done yoga and meditation in the past and I think I’m better at being mindful in my everyday life – definitely some work still to do though… #thethemegame
There’s no time like the present to pick up where you left off!…
Lovely poem Carol! I really like the idea of inner calm and meditation – I think maybe you have to be the right kind of person to get into the ‘zone’ for it – or maybe just the right time of your life… #TheThemeGame
Thanks Sam, although when you consider that you have to ‘practice’, I’ve found just 5 minutes a day really helps when time’s not in my side.
Lovely poem Carol, and for me, a timely reminder of the importance of paying attention to my breathing. Everything else then follows…
How nicely put and, yes it does…
Very well written. I don’t think you missed a thing! 🙂
Ah thank you 🙂
