dream
The week before last, I had an amazingly vivid dream: I was standing by a river, in India, with crystalline fast flowing water and green, green grass growing on its banks. There was a waterfall and behind it, a stone grotto. Looking through the little cave, I saw a repetition of the same tranquil, bucolic scene. I suddenly became aware that beneath my sweater, a huge snail was stuck fast to my upper left chest, right over my heart. A sense of revulsion swept over me, expecially when I realised that I had been carrying this beast around with me for AGES. I began to peel its slimy sides off my skin – it came away with a revolting sucking sound. As I pulled it off, I felt the slime on my skin. I gave the snail to my friend Elena, but as I awoke, I could still feel its presence on my skin…
This little gem comes at a time when my poor, downtrodden heart is blooming with a lovingness and openess such as I’ve never experienced before. It is truly a wonderful feeling to feel the heart chakra opening. Lovingkindness, compassion, such bliss. Anyway, that snail feast no more on my poor ol’ heart. My ruby necklace (bought on my last night in Goa) warms and feeds the energy of the heart centre. I am also convinced that the “medicine water” mix we bought back from Kerala holds the energy of the Keralan sun and fills the body with this light at every draught. Total: goodness, joy, lovingkindness, to others and also to mySELF. Om.
