For the purposes of "reporting in", and so that you might know how my grounding practice is going, I thought I would share a dream I had a couple of nights ago.  Then I have a question about cats and Chakra.

Please be warned that this is a relatively long post, and maybe not so clear as to what I am trying to say... I welcome feedback from you or anyone in the Tea room.  Thank you in advance for hanging in through its length.

Mystress, I have been pretty faithful about practicing my grounding at least 8 times per day now for almost two weeks. I practice before any food or liquid refreshment, as if the grounding is also a recgonition of my gratititude.  And before I meet someone, I try to remember to ground myself as well.

I find that your visualization of the egg and its shower of warm light is very useful to get me into a grounded state in  a few minutes.  I also am able to notice a distinct tingling in my feet almost each time I ground myself, within a few seconds.  

So thank you for your exercises.  I begin to feel the movement of the Kundalini, as a pulse or a warm  vibration...  Which leads me to my dream.  I have not been sleeping well at night in the last month because of some deep bronchial congestion.  This causes me to wake up coughing and spitting up phlegm.    

In my practicing of grounding, I often practice this when I am in bed at night.  I will focus on getting grounded, and then begin to feel whatever feelings, thoughts, or beliefs are between me and and being in a very grounded state.  I have been giving those preventative thoughts, feelings and beliefs to the Goddess, thanking her for her acceptance.  

So I am able to sleep well, and to really focus on grounding and surrender as part of the same process.  Well  a couple o nights ago, I was sleeping, and while I slept I dreamt the following:

I dreamt that there was a snake coming up through my feet, and up my legs.  It wasn't a snake really, but felt kind of like that.  I remember seeing two very large eyes looking at me, and as I encountered this "snake", It was clearly communicating with my mind.  As if it were psychic or could communicate without words.  

I felt very comfortable, and welcomed this energy as the K-force working it's way into my body. This felt right, and felt like my opening into a more deeply rooted self.  

Anyway, when this snake got to my chest area (where I was having the congestion) I percieved that it stopped. Almost like it was at the power chakra.  My experience was that it said "I can go no further until this is clear.  You have too much blocking your focus here for me to continue at this time."  

I awoke knowing that my job was to keep focusing on my grounding, and letting the shakti flow all the way up and down and up and down, like It was the drain cleaner, and I were the drain. A clog in the one area will be cleansed once I keep letting the shakti do what it will with those feelings of block.

Any comments on the above would be more than welcome.

Now for the question.... I have three kitty cats which I care for.  Two girl cats, and one boy cat.  I let them choose to sleep on my bed at night, or not.  Most the time they are with me, especially early in the morning when they want to go out.  Now one of my cats is named "Angela" .  Angela is a black persian mix, who is about the most affectionate thing I have ever known.  I picked her up at the shelter, because she looked at me and said "don't leave me here."

If anyone has animals in their life, I feel sure they will understand.  Anyway, sometimes when I am sleeping at night, or going to sleep and practicing my grounding, Angela will come up to me and stretch out along my side.  She purrs like there is no end in sight.  I welcome her presence, and she stays with me almost all night.  

One night I had the strangest feeling that she was experiencing the flow with me.  She seemed to be purring in rhythm to the feelings I had about the light moving up and then down.  Is it possible that cats also have Chakra points, and that they get grounded too?  It may seem like a silly question, but I feel certain that She is feeling this energy with me....

Thank you for reading this long post, and I welcome any insight from anyone in the tea room.

Perfect!

That is lovely! You can give the congestion up to Goddess, as well..

The Fire Serpent! You are very blessed, to be granted that vision.

Well, that is pretty clear.. Power chakra blockages are not uncommon. That Chakra holds the issues of Free Will/Divine Will, and it is also the chakra that D/s games come from. It is the second most likely place for entities to hang out, after the heart chakra. Do an entity clearing on your power chakra.. do it several times. Also, focus on deep breathing, and counting your blessings. Breath and gratitude empower this chakra. Think, if there is any thing that is unforgiven, within you.. something you have not forgiven yourself for, or another. Let it go..
Are you in touch with your Divine Beloved? Goddess within yourself? If you are, then I want you to create for yourself a ritual of dedicating yourself in slavery to Her. Do the ritual in a posture of submission, like a Muslin at prayer, forehead pressed to the floor. Give Her every part of yourself, and ask to be given a signal for when you are headed in the right direction, and another signal for when you are being a disobedient slave.

Sure she is.. why not? Cats are very aware of spiritual energy..

Thankyou for sharing, James..
Blessings!

Thank you for your wonderful and direct feedback.  Because you have opened your teaching in the way you have, I do indeed feel blessed.  Most days, I am aware of your presence with me as I do my various tasks. You are a comfort and a dear teacher.

Yes, I accept that you are right.  I can give the congestion up to Goddess as well.  Somehow that didn%rsquot enter my conscious mind until you pointed it out this day.  I will do that after I sign off.  Also any feelings of residual resistance and need to block Her Will in me at this time.

: The Fire Serpent! You are very blessed, to be granted that vision.

Mystress, I do feel very blessed.  I do receive that dream as a vision of the Fire Serpent, and deeply respect and am humbled by this experience and it%rsquos offerings.  As  the words %ldquoThe Fire Serpent%rdquo I could feel the Light and Divine Flame which correspond to that.  I will look forward to my next opportunity to be with The Fire Serpent.....

I will do as you say, and I am humbled by your insight and wisdom on this.  What you say feels exactly right to my intuition.  Today, I will do an entity clearing on the Power chakra,  breathing and empowering this divine spot....  There is much within my life which I have not forgiven. I will search for those and give them to Goddess as my Gifts for Her. They definitely are blocking my clear and free access to Divine Will.  

As I re-read your comments, Mystress, I feel I must accept, surrender, and devote myself with sincere humility to all that is, and let the individual residue go as it reveals itself. And as I type this, I can already feel that process has begun.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Mystress, I am in touch with my Divine Beloved, and Goddess within me as well.  I know that I belong to Goddess in mind, body, emotions, and spirit.  All that I am belongs to Goddess, and I am grateful for Her presence in my life.  I know that Goddess demands that I know to whom I belong, and for whom I slave.  That there are false entities in my life which I must release as I allow Goddes to purify my acceptance and surrender to All That Is.

Your teaching that I create a ritual fo dedicating myself in slavery to Her feels exactly right.  That I must practice this dedication from a deep and true posture of submission.  I imagine myself doing this in the morning when I wake up, and at night before I go to bed.  I will remember that all that I am, every part of myself belongs to Goddess, and I am her slave. I am grateful for the sustenance She allows, the teachings She gives, the health She demands, Her energy as She moves through me, and Her Wisdom in the form of my Divine Beloved.  For all these things are gifts of Goddess, and I am deeply grateful for all that She allows me to experience

Mystress, I will ask Goddess for a signal when I am headed in the right direction, and another one when I am being a disobedient slave.  This is wonderful and pure insight from you.  Please accept my humble and deep feelings of thanks to you for your presence in my life. I am aware of your role as my teacher, and always remember to submit to that which you teach, as I am here to learn, accept, and surrender all that I am.

Mystress, I will close by expressing how wonderful I feel right now, as I am grounded and focused on what I need to do at this time to continue my journey.  With you as my teacher, I feel certain that I am in Goddess%rsquo capable and loving hands.

devotedly,

James

That is interesting.. usually only my slaves and Priestesses feel my presence. I wonder, do my other students feel this, as well?

Yes - there are times when it seems i %lsquotalk %lsquo to you...when you post to the group about
something i%rsquove been thinking about, i get the impression that you've heard.  Also, those times
when you%rsquove been the big shadow meanie to get me to surrender and release.  I have felt your Presence here - at least twice - once when i was having a huge crisis, and once after i emailed a thanx to you.  Just for a moment each time.

Peace,
carla

   Kewl. I get around.. People have spoken to me of feeling my presence at different times.. my higher self responds to the call. I get a lot of conversations in my head, I figgered out a few years ago, that they are real.. Funny, eh?
 You are welcome to call on my higher self, anytime.. she is outside of time, so she can be many places at once.

  Nice to hear from you, Carla. The tea room has been quiet, lately.

  Blessings!
