The sacral chakra supposedly represents new experiences, acceptance of others and 'emotional issues'.
Duh.

It's quite distracting when your nether regions start throbbing during a meditation.

Quote:
I dreamed that I was at an aunt's house with a cousin, both of whom I had never met before and don't seem to exist in waking life--so they were basically complete strangers. The house had a similar layout to my old house, oddly enough. I made pancakes for supper, all by myself, and served the other two first, but when I made an extra big one for myself because I was so hungry, bits of Lego and plastic were suddenly in the batter, melting, so dream aunt tossed it out. I had nothing for supper. Then suddenly it was Christmas or something, and there were beautiful sparkly presents, but i couldn't have any because I had stayed up til midnight [there was a huge vision of a clock with the hands directly at 12:00 at that point]. Then I was down in the basement trying to entertain a horde of little kids, while their parents, a dream uncle and his wife, simply looked on. At first it was alright, and they were all well-behaved and quiet, and I showed them the little kitten stuffies that I had brought with me. But when I picked up the actual black and white kitten that was there, it bit me on the neck [with very large fangs!] and wouldn't let go. It really hurt, but I couldn't get it off for awhile, and the kids were suddenly screaming and running around the way kids do when they are being wild. Once I had detached the kitten, I asked the dream uncle for help, but all he did was give me a purple plastic triangle [according to him it nullified poison...] and showed me a picture of him and his family on an expensive trip, all riding an elephant. I exclaimed that 'this isn't a video game!', and went upstairs to hide somewhere, hopefully quiet, and then woke up.

I guess I'll wait and see if Rachey shows up.

I've been reading OSHO books. They are quite inspiring.

I've also been thinking about Pokemon, specifically, Mew and Arceus. There is no explanation given to where Mew came from, it just sort is. Arceus, meanwhile, has a whole creation myth, wherein it created everything and then went to sleep for thousands of years. Arceus is the Pokemon representing 'God', and it doesn't seem to be a very happy god [especially since its signature move is called Judgement]. Mew, meanwhile, has the innocence and playfulness of a child, and that is one reason why I chose it as my avatar. If the two of them ever encountered each other, it would be the equivalent of the Hindu god Shiva as a child, dancing and playing, while the Biblical version of God is ranting uselessly at him. Mew's signature move is Transform, which means it can become any Pokemon--including Arceus. If Mew could speak, it would probably say something like 'Why sleep when there's so much fun to have? No wonder you're so grumpy.' Mew's other signature move is Metronome, which allows it to use any move...but it's random.
Oh, and Mew was a literal last minute edition to the first Pokemon games; one of the game designers noticed that there was a bit of room left and added it in without telling anyone. It's original sprite looks a lot like a fetus. It's a bit creepy.

My top favourites are [not in any particular order] Mew, Skitty, Lucario, Gardevoir, Gallade, Eevee, Umbreon, Espeon, Sylveon, Milotic, Ninetales, Misdreavus and Mienshao.
Feel free to look up any of those names to see what they look like.

^ you're emotionally depleted.
Too much stuff going on for you.
The pancake part suggests neglect of self.
(No surprises there)
Hungry for love, but it's passing you by.
Interesting analogy with the batter being contaminated.
Do you see what that represents?
I don't like to speculate.

I have to say my mind seems extroadinarily clear.
A result of the healing hypnosis, perhaps?
I'd like to think so.

Have you ever considered that each cell in your body has its own consciousness?

^^Thank you.
No kidding, I'm emotionally depleted. I used it all up last year at university residence, buried under negativity.
Well, we are planning on moving sooner than later.
I'm trying not to be so neglectful; I'm even trying to think of things that I actually want to do.
Hungry for love, but not speaking up for myself when the opportunity appears...
Um...contaminated batter = I need to eat better? Or that I'm hurting myself?

Something similar occurs in A Wind in the Door, which also involves a dragon angel and mitochondria.

Yes Froya, Caffeine gives me anxiety that can last for several hours, has a very adverse effect on me can also make hands shake and if more than a couple of coffees it will make y entire body shake... Have cut back now but still have a cup now and again and body kinda regrets it 15 minutes afterwards...

Nice to see you Raleigh figuratively and literally :)

Hey... Also seems that whole thread was pulled which is a bit of a rarity, must have really peeved off Alex! What was said, do you know?

I once accidentally had caffeinated tea, and even though I only took a couple sips, I moved more rapidly and had more difficulty falling asleep than usual.

Very understandable why you would avoid coffee, with those side effects. I'm very awake right now. I still feel less restless then usual, and my thoughts seem more gathered, more concentrated maybe. Definitely trying this again, but earlier on the day and not in combination with alcohol.

What do you mean by pulled? I haven't noticed anything.

Oh.. it was on another thread. Some NT chap was pretty much saying everything wrong about the spectrum you could imagine. I dont think it was intentional but definitely very ignorant. was just trying to explain things to him as were others but then he went on the defensive thinking everyone was ganging up on him which is quit ironic when you see the posts he was making about his views of those on the spectrum... So seems Alex ( i presume Alex is the only one that can pull entire threads?) may have had enough and pulled the thread.

Oh ok. I'm guessing pulled means deleted it. I don't know if all the moderators can do that either. I like drama though (as long as I'm not part of it) Sorry I missed it 8)

I think I may have had the last word on that thread.
I called him an idiot after he said he didn't blame us for 'being drunk'.

I don't know where he got off saying things like that but I wish he would have gotten off sooner.

^Sounds like a strange thing. Maybe he was autistic too. Or at least he doesn't sound like the sharpest knife in the drawer.
