A
green orb
fills my head
leaking indigo
through my hair,
down my shoulders.
I struggle to breath
as I always do.
body
too wrapped
up in relaxing
to know how
to just be.
Red sparks
pulse to pink blankets
gently resting on my chest
warming that stitched together
semblance of a
heart that
no longer beats.
Begin.
The sun rises
golden yellow filling mine eyes,
chest and radiating out thine arms
to fill the room.
It breathes for me.
Melting
melting the tight knots
of yesterday's cares & dreams
Until orange remains
that tender power
wisping its way in to fill
what remains of my
subconscious
hurts
allowing them
to kindle and fire
a belly not known to
resist
as icy hands
smooth wrinkles
in swollen knee joints
and my eyes open
to a day changed
by the breath
and love
of
Friends

ReplyDelete@Mama Zen: Thank you. You should see my eyes. They are still stunned. Reiki is a blessed thing MZ. It helps to release the ills that you don't always even know are there.
ReplyDeleteyou wrapped me with your words like with a rainbow katherine...i feel blessed...thank you..
ReplyDeletenice...love the colors you drizzled throughout the piece k...and glad it ends on a happy note...thank goodness for friends eh?
ReplyDelete@Claudia: I am glad you were touched by a little of the warmth that filled me this aft Claudia.
ReplyDelete@Brian: I was the lucky recipient of a reiki treatment this aft. The practitioners have done this for many years, and this was not the first time that I have benefited from their ministrations. They are both lovely and perceptive people that offered me all they could. I got to breath in love. Sweet.
A wonderful introspective palette of color expressed poetically. Reiki treatment, eh? Sounds quite therapeutic from your descriptions.
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely!
ReplyDelete@Dustus: If you have never had a reiki treatment Dustus, you should give it a try. It is a non-invasive form of energy work that helps to allow your body to relax, and in turn heal itself. It has increasingly been used in hospitals and in palliative care, but can really be enjoyed by anyone. You get to lie back (or sit if you are more comfortable), and essentially just relax and breathe. Treatments last anywhere from 30 min to an hour, and I always walk out in a daze, as does anyone else I have seen after a treatment. It is a wonderful gift to give to yourself, just to allow yourself some time for yourself. Try it!
ReplyDeleteThere's my preaching moment for the day!
@ayala: thank you ayala!
ReplyDeletebewildering and mesmerizing... so humane and so alive...
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
ReplyDeleteReading this felt like a full body massage...
and then I find it refers to your reiki treatment.
*smile*
@wanderer: Letting go of the day, I was more alive than at any point before. I release and can breathe again.
ReplyDelete@Possum: Are you familiar with reiki Possum? While the physical contact is minimal, it is like a full body massage. With the simple laying on of hands, your whole body is treated to a full realignment that is oh so nice.
Good to see you today.
Faaaaaaaaabulous poem, Katherine!
ReplyDeleteYou use of the chakra colors blew my away!
Isn't Reiki amazing?
"offer loving kindness to you
and the world as well.
Peace my friends"
And to you too, my friend!
Peace and x
@Ron: I realize that the colours do not necessarily match with their exact appropriate location, but that was the particular colour bath I got that day. I figured that I needed those vibrations in those spots, so did not question it. I haven't had a treatment in a while, and I was super-stoned/zoned when I was walking out. Lasted all day, which I really needed.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs to you Ron- Reiki Master
fine poem and I love how it looks centre-aligned
ReplyDeletecheers, Luke
@Luke Prater: Thanks Luke. Enjoyed the fiddling to get the look, but the words poured out of me that day.
