Red Overtone Earth
Red Overtone Earth
Red Earth is the Earth keeper, the keeper of the garden, the
shaman/healer who, through reverence for all life, heals and
sanctifies the Earth. Earth keepers preserve the harmonic
relationship with nature by connecting to the wisdom held in
matter. In Latin, mater means "mother". As you bring light into
yourself, you bring light into matter. You and the Earth both
contain the holographic seed of the new consciousness
emerging.
Take off your shoes. Touch the one Earth. Find a place to
dance with the sacred hoop of life. Contribute your vision as an
awakened member of the global rainbow family!
"I am the flint and tinder of the sacred fire," reads the
meditation for Red Serpent. In the Great Mystery, flint and
tinder represent the instinctive combustion that initiates
movement in the physical body toward union with Spirit. When
flint and tinder are brought together, the spark of divinity
awakens and ignites the fire of your essence. Red Serpent
invites the purifying spark of the sacred fire, the kundalini, to
align and integrate your body, mind and spirit. Red Serpent can
help you uncover apparent blockages in specific chakras to
clear an align them. If you are working on a process of
purification, invite Red Serpent to assist you.
Red Serpent's symbol is the serpent, representing healing and
wholeness.
With the energy of Red Serpent, you learn to use the innate
intelligence of the body. In this culture you may have become
separated from this wisdom. It works like this: when you
suppress and ignore your issues, your body receives and retains
the unconscious metaphors of that which is ignored. This may
be expressed through physical symptoms that bring your
unconscious issues to conscious awareness. When this happens,
work toward a more conscious relatonship with your body -
and work with the physical metaphors in order to heal yourself
on all levels.
Red Serpent is associated with the sacred tools of the drum and
the rattle. Drums and rattles can break down old patterns or
bring energy into alignment.
Getting in touch with your male and female aspects and how
you perceive them is an integral part of the alchemical process
that brings them harmony. You can begin the process of
integrating polarities through an increased understanding of the
awareness in both sides of your body. The right side generally
represents the male, the left side, the female. In meditation,
observe the qualities of each side. Bring out their issues, fears,
strengths, and potentials. Feel them. Move with them. Talk to
them. Create and draw images. Make sounds. Write about
them. Explore their relationships. Then, taking as much time as
you need, allow them to flow together, unified in solar
androgyny. Freeing past perceptions, claim harmony, healing,
and love, and bring that new sense of unity into the present
moment.
You are the center of your own universe! Remember that there
is great wisdom to be found within the human form. In genuine
acceptance of your humanness, you find your foundation in
individual self. Turn inward and bring more light into your
form. Discover the foundation of your sacred center. In
meditation, receive the serenity of the unis mundi, the place of
perfect centeredness. In letting go of who you think you are,
you become who you actually are. Be simple. You are always
sitting in the center. You are the Zen master, centered in
beginner's mind.
