Dedicated to the little girl who was scared of everything on the horizon, feared what she did not know, judged what she did not understand and never gave up on remembering the Light...
Nothing in Life is Permanent
I walked into the small meditation room
not really knowing what to expect. Immediately I felt a presence of something
huge and loving. It was thick and if it was a color it would be a golden fog. I sat down and started crying. Tears flowed out of my
eyes in a manner that I had only experienced once before except this time the
emotion behind it was not of sadness or despair. I was sobbing for no logical reason and there was an intense amount of love and bliss surrounding my body. There was something pure and limitless about it. In hindsight I
realize that I had experienced this feeling a few times in church when I was a
small girl and I had experienced it again in my adult life when visiting the
Golden City in Southern India.
This room was special; I came here with a specific
list of intentions. The feeling of floating and no mind was strong but I told
myself I'd try to stay grounded and I’d remember my list no matter what, saying every item out loud. So I
started talking, “My intention here is to heal any sadness and hurt I’ve caused
to others or others have caused to me, to remove any blocks stopping me from
increasing the financial abundance in my life, to liberate my ancestors to the
highest light of heaven and to clear any negative karma I have acquired through
all of my lifetimes (male and female) connecting all of these lessons into this
body, now, so that I may be a pure vessel for the Divine to flow through and
make use of.” Looking back it seems like quite an extensive and heavy list of
requests, but at the time it was all that was there. It was all that I could
focus on and it was flowing straight from my heart.
In the moment of saying my intentions out
loud I felt like I had floated to a very special temple. This temple is a real
life location in Southern India. The first time I visited this temple I was on
a journey of self-discovery, it was my 1st time traveling outside of
the United States by myself and of all places to test my travel skills, I
picked an isolated place in the middle of nowhere in Southern India. It
turns out there was no better place to find myself than in the middle of
nowhere, completely lost.
During my 1st soIo trip abroad I had randomly met a group of amazing
people from Norway and they became my travel companions. They happened to be
traveling to the same temple as me (2 hour away from Chennai) and we decided
to share a cab. After some horrible communication barriers and getting lost for
an extra 3 hours I suddenly started laughing. The laughter was uncontrollable
and there were tears running down my eyes, it felt like the top of my head had
something pouring into it and my body felt light and full of energy. The
laughter was pure bliss, and then Lise one of my new friends started laughing as well.
We were looking at each other just laughing ourselves to pieces. Still riding in the cab I
looked up and in the distance I could see the most majestic white temple I had
ever laid my eyes on. I instantly had an understanding that the energy field of the temple was having an effect on my kudalini
(causing the bliss to run through my body). Little did I know that THIS was
when my adventure and my life began.

Back in the little mediation room in Iowa,
USA the tears, and the laughter and the bliss were rushing through my body. I
had received a clear answer that, “YES, everything that you wish for you will
receive.” I also saw a vision of a specific piece of sacred geometry. This
vision was one of the designs on the top floor of that very special temple in
Southern India. I saw it emerge from my back and lay directly on the opposite
side of my heart chakra. It looked like a tattoo. It felt like it had been there
before and it felt like it was ready to be there again.
Many more
mystical things happened in that meditation room and perhaps I will post about that in the future. Regarding the vision I saw and felt on my back, after I
had some time to integrate the energy more insights came to my awareness.
1. Nothing in life is permanent.
2. This isn’t your 1st time
having this tattoo.
3. This symbol comes to you when you are on the
path to your purpose (the reason I came to Earth).
4. You are always completely taken care
of.
Three days after this experience I decided
to get a better understanding of what this symbol meant. I knew nothing about it. This is what I found:
It is called a Sri Yantra (Sri
Chakra) and it is super awesome.

Sri Yantra
Sri yantra, also known as Sri Chakra, is
called the King of all yantras because all other yantras derive from it. In its
three dimensional forms Sri Yantra is said to represent Mount Meru, the cosmic
mountain at the center of the universe.
The Sri Yantra is conceived as a place of
spiritual pilgrimage. It is a representation of the cosmos at the macrocosmic
level and of the human body at the microcosmic level (each of the circuits
correspond to a chakra of the body).Sri Yantra is first referred to in an Indonesian inscription dating to the seventh century C.E. It may have existed in India, its country of origin, long before the time of its introduction to Indonesia.
The Sri Yantra is a configuration of nine interlocking triangles, surrounded by two circles of lotus petals with the whole encased within a gated frame, called the "earth citadel". The nine interlocking triangles centered around the bindu (the central point of the yantra) are drawn by the superimposition of five downward pointing triangles, representing Shakti ; the female principle and four upright triangles, representing Shiva ; the male principle. The nine interlocking triangles form forty three small triangles each housing a presiding deity associated with particular aspects of existence.
Man's spiritual journey from the stage of material existence to ultimate enlightenment is mapped on the Sri Yantra. The spiritual journey is taken as a pilgrimage in which every step is an ascent to the center, a movement beyond one's limited existence, and every level is nearer to the goal. Such a journey is mapped in stages, and each of these stages corresponds with one of the circuits of which the Sri Yantra is composed from the outer plane to the bindu in the center.
The Tattoo Process
After a stop to pick up some healthy healing foods we were in Oakland meeting Dillon Forte of Sri Yantra Tattoo. In my opinion Dillon is someone who is blessed to have found his calling and I feel grateful to have found him.

And the process began....
During the process I was in a very meditative state, chanting the Moola Mantra and visualizing the Sri Yantra located underneath the center spire of my special temple in India. I had some extra help by using hypnotherapy to help center and calm me. Of course being well hydrated and having light nutritious food circulating through the cells of my body helped the whole process go smoothly.

Everyone asks, "Did it hurt?" The truth is that I was calm and there was a sense of peace. There were moments that were intense but there was always a level of relaxation. Relaxing into the intensity was all I needed to do and before I knew it the moment had passed. I was not aware of how long the tattoo would take or where we were in the process, but during the last 10 shots of ink tears started running down my cheeks and there was a feeling of coming home. Then just as the tattoo had started, it was complete.
What is the end of this little tale? I don't feel there is one, this is a story of an amazing life that is just beginning...
