WEEK 6 YESOD
Day 42, Malkhut within Yesod
Malkhut (kingdom, the reflection of everything) Malkhut represents the power that ultimately unifies all the diverse powers of the Sefirot and holds everything together. Without Malkhut, creation would remain incomplete.
While reading a presentation BB will be giving, a spark of revelation shocked me -- it was just like being zapped. What I was reading was using some quite beautiful writing about "claiming yourself but not owning yourself." She wrote that you do not own yourself -- not even your sense of I . . . of being a self . . . don't reduce yourself to a thing [a good thing nor a bad thing]. I realized (recognized) something about myself in that moment . . . something that had changed and I'd almost missed . . . that I no longer was trying to become something or someone else (an improved version?) . . . I somehow had given that struggle up. I realized in that moment that I truly only want to be who/what I already am. Not what/who I think I am . . . but who/what I truly am!

WEEK 6 YESOD
Day 37, Gevurah within Yesod
Gevurah (strength, judgement, justice, boundaries, restraint)
Yesod (foundation, connection)
Sitting here within the 37th Gate, I'm wondering how this day will unfold. There's an urge within me to get my website back up -- it's been down (disconnected) for probably a week now. My website has been sort of like a foundation for my business for 15 years or more, and, for some reason, I've been able to be in the space of letting it be down.
Here's something interesting . . . my websites went down during the week of Hod -- the last 5 days of Hod. And during that time, I did NOT do this practice, Counting the Omer. It was not in my consciousness to do the practice. I totally forgot about doing it for 5 days. It reminds me a little of being in exile in the desert like the Israelites . . . and this Omer practice is about that.

WEEK 6 YESOD
Day 36, Hesed within Yesod
Hesed (lovingkindness, ever-flow, no boundaries, no restraint, unconditional giving)
Yesod (foundation, connection)
Entering this 36th Gate of Consciousness, the beginning of my week-long exploration within Yesod I've connected with two very close friends from my past. BB lives in Montana now; we knew each other when we both lived in Northern Virginia. She was my first Kabbalistic Healer and my Kabbalah teacher. She is now the Director of the healing school that I went to for four years. MB lives in Florida; we knew each other while we were both attending the healing school just mentioned. Oddly, we did not get close to each other until after we left the school.
In our conversation, BB mentioned that she was needing to let go of a huge number of clients because the school was taking up so much of her time. We discussed the potential of my taking on a good number of those clients. If this increase in number of clients manifest for me, I may very well have the monetary resources necessary for me to participate in the DH Teacher Training/Seminary Program. I see the Hesed within Yesod throughout this whole phone conversation!
MB and I talked for more than an hour catching up. We used to connect by phone every few months but haven't talked for probably a year. She's been going through a LOT of change in her life that somehow precluded our phone contacts. And, for some reason, her email account would not "get through" to my Comcast email account. There was a block or something between the two email accounts. I also see the Hesed within Yesod throughout this phone conversation as well.
One more thing that I noticed in both phone conversations (connections) was how there had been "disconnects." And, another thing I noticed is how Foundations for both my friends, as well as myself, have been being shifted.

WEEK 4 NETZACH
Day 27, Yesod within Netzach
Yesod (foundation, connection)
Netzach (victory, conquering, eternity, security, dominance -- also, determination, perserverence)
Through a profoundly deep inquiry I realized that my wanting to become a DH teacher had previously been tied-up with wanting the identity -- to become that. Today I realized that I do NOT want another identity. I'm tired of identities -- structures that control my life unconsciously.
Now . . . do I still want to do the work to be a DH teacher? Do I want to expend the required energy and resources (time, money, effort, relationship-strains) for the next ten years (at least)? My birthday was yesterday -- ten years from now I'd be 70 years old. They are specifically looking for 30-40 year old people. I obviously do not meet that piece of criteria.

WEEK 3 TIFERET
Day 20, Yesod within Tiferet
Yesod (foundation, connection)
Tiferet (beauty, mercy, compassion, the harmonization of Gevurah & Hesed)
This 20th gate of consciousness feels like another easy-to-be place for me. I feel totally connected to all of my surrounding -- the beauty of nature that surrounds me in this setting, this place where I live. This morning I feel very embodied, present, firmly seated with all of me here now.
What better way to enjoy this Gate . . . I left early this morning, after sitting, for a Raindrop Technique and massage. Lynne uses therapeutic-grade essential oils -- seven single oils and then two or three blends. This particular technique touches every organ, every system in my physical body; AND, it also works in the subtle energy fields. She began with my feet, working the various oils into each foot and focusing on my spine-area of the foot. And, then she dropped the oils like rain (dropping through my auric field) up and down my spine. It felt so refreshing and relaxing. I felt energized and yet calm. This was a beautiful gift to myself. And, I see doing things like this for myself as a way to maintain a healthy foundation for my body-mind-soul.
On my way home, I stopped and connected with a friend who's returned to working someplace she used to work . . . left and returned. She's surrounded herself with beauty -- natural beauty, i.e., plants, trees, running water, ponds, fresh aroma and peacefulness.
In late afternoon, my grandson called . . . well, he's 14 months old and his mom said he wanted to call me. I don't know how he told her that he wanted to call me . . . it didn't matter how. I loved hearing his little voice making his 14 month old sounds. He loves talking on the phone . . . and when he's done, he folds up the phone and hangs up. All done! ha, ha, ha

WEEK 2 GEVURAH
Day 13, Yesod within Gevurah
Yesod (foundation, connection)
Gevurah (strength, judgement, justice, boundaries, restraint)
I read somewhere that Yesod is "the 'small' and 'narrow' bridge between the infinite potential of procreation that flows into it and its actual manifestation in the world. We procreate on the spiritual plane as well as the physical.
My day was "bookended" with people I know from a business network and Free U. It's actually rather nice to feel comfortable being with these groups. Even though I've never "liked" networking, it seems that with this group of people it's just connecting -- real to real. Nothing put on -- no fluff. Just real people meeting together for a common purpose.
This evening's purpose was to envision how Robyn's shop would look in a new place. I didn't think I'd like the space but as I listened to the others' ideas, I began to change my mind. Robyn gathered together friends and business associates to help her envision possibilities. She's located a new physical place (new foundation on one level) and yet it's close enough to her old shop to maintain her connection with her current customers.
This was an interesting perspective of this 13th gate of consciousness.

WEEK 1 HESED
Day 6, Yesod within Hesed
Hesed (lovingkindness, ever-flow, no boundaries, no restraint, unconditional giving)
Yesod (foundation, connection)
Dropping into Hesed-consciousness today, I feel such expansiveness, plenty of space, uncluttered. Within this state of being, this experience, I touch and move into Yesod. What is Yesod within Hesed like for me today? What's it like to sense my foundation -- where I stand? How is connection revealed to me today? Connection to others? to the Universe? to myself? In what forms does connection unfold for me to experience? Communication? Presence? Aliveness?
Today I found myself connecting with people in other countries (no geographical boundaries), experiencing their presence close to me, as if we were in the same room. With each person, the communication felt so open and easy-flowing. Also, a young woman from a local spiritual organization (one that I'd not heard of before) contacted me and asked me to present a talk to their group. We enjoyed our connection -- communicating with her was easy, energetic, and free. So, I'll be presenting a talk on using therapeutic essential oils on July 12th. This is a topic that I dearly love to share with others. I feel like I have a good foundational knowledge and plenty of experience to share with others.
