So I got up early, and spent some time with this book, hoping inspiration would strike...
... and this is what appeared...
It's not exactly, 'here comes the sun', but bear with me as I explain...
In the Peaceful Pause at the end of chapter 1 of Your Truest Self, Jan Lundy guides you through a meditation to welcome the Divine One in... the 'sun', if you like...
Experience your in-breath and your out-breath moving slowly, like a sweet vapor drifting through the sacred space. Blessing it. Sanctifying it. Making it holy ground for the Divine One to be housed within you...
And as I did the meditation, a really pictured this light growing in my solar plexus, it was turning and and glowing, radiating warmth and light...
The solar plexus chakra is often seen as yellow, like the sun... it's your centre, midway between your heart and your navel, your core...
On a physical level, for me, this is my weakest point after the stroke... my physiotherapist has been working for months to improve it, and my core stability... it's why I struggle to stand straight and to balance...
But, this morning, as I meditated and drew and painted, this is where I saw the sun move in... where I sensed the Divine taking up residence... where I know warmth, and light, and ultimately strength, do dwell in me, on the coldest and darkest of days...
I have made a temple, at my centre, and the sun has come... Amen...

and warmth

in your final prayer!

I have never meditated, but I like how you interpreted the sun in this IA challenge. It sounds like I also need to follow whatever lessons you are learning so I can stand straight and achieve better balance, too.
I totally understand and love this piece. Yellow is also chakra color for our gut and color of our intuition.xxx
Thank you Clare
