The Wisdom in our Spines!

Years ago, I was experiencing some discomfort in my spine and decided to learn about the spine.  I created this painting back in 2016 and as odd as I feel the painting is, I feel gratitude for the wisdom that it has continued to bring me.  I've been practicing a release and receive meditation that was inspired by this painting.  I will share it with you here.  I hope you try it and if you do, please leave in the comments your experience.  Much gratitude!


A Release and Receive Meditation
This meditation may take 20 minutes and more.  A couple days after this meditation, you may or may not experience emotional or physical releases that may or may not manifest in a variety of ways.  Just recognize any experiences as part of the healing process.  No need to worry or assume something is wrong unless your highest guidance leads you otherwise.  I have experienced odd aches and pains which have no explanation, intestinal clearings, emotional mood swings that are not my usual way of feeling, sleepless nights, as well as wonderful sense of joy and bliss, lovely synchronicities, and spontaneous wisdom or clarity in thoughts.  Try not to over think them. Just allow awareness, full feeling, and release to do what they have come forth to do.  
For any biblical folks participating, you might find these parallels interesting.  There are 33 vertebrae in the body.  Jesus lived 33 years.  We have 12 ribs on each side of the 12 Thoracic vertebrae.  Jesus had 12 disciples and there are 12 tribes of Israel. 
The Vagus Nerve length runs from the brain to the heart and gut and calms the body just like Jesus calmed the storm.  Laminin, the protein that holds cells together is in the shape of a cross when seen under a microscope.  
Jesus rose on the 3rd day.  Scientific data reveals after fasting 3 days, the body begins to regenerate. The process is called autophagy where old cells die.  New ones are born, and the body begins to heal.  
One more thought; Tears change chemistry whether depending on the emotion. The hormones present help the body release stress and manage pain. Crying supports the healing process.
The Chakra System corresponds with the spinal column.
The Crown Chakra is located at the crown of the head, at the top of the skull.
The Third Eye Chakra is located on the forehead between and slightly above the eyebrows.
Cervical vertebrae C1-C7, with C4 about the center of The Throat Chakra.
Thoracic vertebrae T8-T19 - the Heart Chakra. 
Lumbar vertebrae L20-L24- the Solar Plexus
Sacral vertebrae S25-S29 fuse together to form the Sacrum which then connect to the hip bones. Here is the Sacral Chakra 
At the Coccyx, vertebrae 30-33 are fused and are known as the tailbone.  This is the Ground Chakra
As more parallels are discovered, I will add them to this list!  For now, let’s move on…
Prepare.   
Sit or lie down upon the ground.
Relax, Breathe deeply.  Calm your mind.
Invite your higher self, guides, angels, and ancestors to surround you with loving energy and assistance as you do this exercise.
If you are willing, allow the energies of your wounds and trauma, unforgiveness, and/or any energy you feel no longer serves you to migrate toward the spine and to enter the spinal fluid to be transported down and out at the ground chakra at the base of the spine.  
In preparation, thank the earth for her love and wisdom.  Ask her to receive any of these energies you have been holding to be transmuted and transformed into energies that can serve the greatest and highest good.  
It is not necessary you remember or acknowledge specific memories for these energies.  They may or may not come to mind.  Our bodies often hold these energies, and this may or may not manifest as aches and pains, or dis-ease.  The body’s wisdom is incredible, and it knows how to release when given permission and allowed.  You may experience any emotion during this process.  Just feel it and then, allow it to release.  Remain centered upon the earth and feel her holding you.
With gratitude, thank these energies for the lessons and experiences they have offered.  Even as they have been interpreted as energies that feel like wounds, really, they have been gifts of opportunity for your soul’s growth.  Feel gratitude for each, if they are revealed to you.  Thank them and release them in love for their journey of transformation.  Mother earth will do the work.  Trust her wisdom. This process is somewhat like denial.  You are denying these energies have any more control over your experience and your healing.  
Begin Part 1.
Begin with a deep, belly breath in through the nose and through the mouth exhale slowly.  Count “One”
Take another deep, belly breath in through the nose and exhale slowly through the mouth. Count “Two”
Again, deep, belly breath in through the nose and exhale slowly through the mouth. “Three”
Repeat these breaths until you reach 33 breaths.
Rest.  Imagine wounded and traumatic energies migrating toward the spinal column, entering the spinal fluid, and beginning their descent toward your ground chakra.
If you were lying down, sit up and continue resting.
Part 2 After the process of release, we receive.  We want to invite into the spaces of our body, mind, and spirit higher love. 
Place your attention at your crown chakra.  Imagine it opening like a lotus flower.  Ask and invite your higher self, angels, guides, and Creator Source energy to flow into you high frequencies of love.  Invite this love energy into the spaces where your wounds and traumas use to be.  It is not necessary you know the details of where these were held.  This process is somewhat like affirmation.  You are affirming health and wholeness in every part of you trusting Divine Guidance knows exactly what, where, and when healing will be complete.
Begin the breath process again.  33 deep, belly breaths in through the nose, 33 long and slow exhales through the mouth counting down after each breath.
Know that higher frequencies of love energy enter your body, mind, and spirit as the wounds and traumas exit through your ground chakra.
Rest
Express gratitude for this healing.  Thank yourself, Source Creator, Angels, Guides, and Ancestors for their guidance and protection during this healing meditation.  And so it is.
