As many know, decades pour moi in the healing arts:
In Aryuvedic medicine, if one’s leading dosha is vata, the primary sensory receptor is the eyes. When one takes in an image through the eyes, it travels to the spinal cord and affects the entire nervous system instantaneously. This is the power of ancient knowing…to understand the soul’s experience through the body…and THUS if one is a vata, VISUAL BEAUTY is paramount to physical harmony…meaning health. This also means that as a tool, one’s leading dosha can lead us to places that are important. (Pitta—hearing….Kapha—smell and taste)
Last night I watched the last episodes of ‘The Crown’…Princess Margaret’s stroke was included…the relationship of the sisters….the death of both Margaret and the queen mother.
WATCHING this….simply and beautifully performed and shot….I froze in my own depths. I had no idea that there was still mourning/grieving to be felt and sobbed though around my mother’s strokes and my sister’s passing.
I had been at my mother’s side though-out her passage of lifting up and out, but the passing itself was prolonged and agony-filled for her as she fought and resisted. I had released all that impacted me, years ago.. I thought.
So too my relationship with my younger sister. For two years I held her body, joined in her emotions thorugh chemo and surgeries and change…and I thought that I had walked through it all with relief and peace and soul knowing that she could now be free and recover.
And then last night.
The layers and layers that live inside of us…not to be denied or ignored.
We all have them…those deep woundings that we learn to live with, dance around, forget about, but they are still there…wanting to teach us, wanting to be accepted and honored.
Ah, yes, in gratitude for ‘The Crown’ as an unexpected vehicle for yet another opportunity to expand.
