Of a collective World Wide (Web) Sacred space -


A Praying Place


A place to bring the reverent offerings of our hearts and dreams


A place of singing hope


A place where we can all join in chat -

where we cherish the sacred in one another


A place not formed or bound by religious institutions or business -


but grown through the shared yearning of (Human) Spirit

a place to speak openly of harsh reality - and to brainstorm pragmatically of creative resolutions.


Where we can celebrate preciousness and approaches that are working - and spread the solutions far and wide.


I know various places where folks are speaking *about* spirituality - even on this community.  Where are folks sharing spiritually with each other?  Through song, prayer, silence, candlelighting?

A little over a month ago, this gaia.com community began a practice of observing a daily Gaia minute or "moment" of sending love to our planet - the living system of Gaia, our mother.  Since the initiation of this practice was strongly connected to September 9th - 9/9/09 - folks are encouraged to observe it at 9:09 am (or pm) - and I add for a duration of 9 minutes and 9 seconds.

During that time one night, I began to get the image of connecting to the chakras of the planet, like healers connect to the chakra energy centers of the body.



For a fuller description of the various chakras, check the chart about halfway down this page.


The basic idea is that the red or root chakra is associated with stability and creation,
the orange or sacral chakra is connected with procreation and change, the yellow  with confidence and willpower, the green with love and balance, the light blue with communication and truth, the dark blue (indigo) with intuition and wisdom, and the purple chakra with connection with Divine and inspiration.  Check the chart above to see which color is associated with which part of the body.


So the then came the image of connecting with the energy centers of the earth, like connecting with the energy centers of the body:


Red - the molten center from which comes life, and the change of volcanic eruptions.
Orange - the slightly cooler layers out to the fertile crust that germinates and sustains the food and resources off of which we live. 
Yellow - the bountiful harvest of grains, the beauty of flowers. 
Green - the colors of vegetation and the leafy canopy that sustains the air we breath
Light blue - the sky - home for birds, clouds, precipitation, conveyer of light and radio waves
Indigo - the edges of space
Purple - the greater universe and multiverse.

Each of these images is fluid - please adapt them in ways that work for your style.

With special thanks to KES, here is a graphic representation of these images:

As I've been working on this blog - I've had a sense of connecting with the different areas and sharing love like caressing a beloved's face, hugging a loved one, touching someone on the shoulder compassionately and supportively, or stroking a well-loved animal.

I've also had a sense of the interconnectedness of my own chakras, and those of the earth.  And I feel like connecting with and loving ourselves more deeply is a fundamental and crucial part of doing what we need to heal our planet and deal with the multitude of environmental and social challenges currently facing all of us.


Thank you for being part of this Blog Action Day
