Tortoise in Shiva Mandir/ To Badal

[Guest guest]

Namaste Badal,

 

This...... feeels..... Grrrrreat!! Its getting better and better as

I chug along reading all the responses from respected friends here.

You've made a good point and actually beginning to stir my memory,

bless you!

 

Really can't yet put my finger on it yet though.. Its frustrating

when something is at the back of the mind but is difficult to

remember (which is happening to me a lot these days).

 

Speaking of chakras, you've reminded me there are actually 14

Chakras, not just the main or usual "Applicable 7 Chakras" that are

mentioned in most books and publications. The 7 top or "upper"

Chakras are mostly utilized in Yogic practices, etc., etc.. It is

Lord Ganapati Who prevents the "7 Lower Chakras" from cropping up

upon most humans and overtaking one's good nature to influence one

towards atrocious actions of "low natures". Back with more another

time, again when the memory gets back to normal.. Again, please be

patient with me )))

 

Many Blessings to You,

Om Namah Shivaya

Simone
