awaken your inner fire
A medical appointment this morning threw my schedule out of whack and inspired me to change up my Domagick routine. Since I was stuck in an imaging machine so a technician could take pictures of my heart, I decided to make use of the bizarre posture she’d put me in and start with a body […]
After meditation and a body scan, I continued work on my sacral chakra today. It’s still spinning well, but I’m glad I’m keeping a better watch on them. It might be a hold over from surgery, or simply having a desk job, but I’ve noticed some tend to slow and wobble more as the week […]
I shifted focus today to my sacral or svadhisthana chakra. It is located in the pelvic area and helps us experience our lives through sensation, pleasure, and enjoyment. It is the center of sensuality, intimacy, and connection. Some keywords associated with this chakra are spontaneity, trust, and passion. Its color is orange and its sound […]
I’ve struggled with my Loving Kindness meditations over the last couple days. Today, I took previous card readings to heart and concentrated on staying in the present moment.

It’s not yet February 1st and all the department stores around here are already stocked up for Valentine’s Day. Bright pink and red hearts full of chocolate crowd the aisles, and a rainbow menagerie of stuffed animal fights to be taken home. Oh yeah! Romance is in the air! But you know the old saying: […]
You may have noticed I didn’t blog yesterday. Unlike previous Domagick challenges, this time around my record hasn’t been very good. I’ve missed four out of thirteen days. It isn’t that I haven’t been meditating. Even outside of my conversations with Amducius, I’ve been putting in time on the meditation pillow. Life has been stressful […]
