November 25th
This is the last day of this process. The day is devoted to working with Quintessence. Gathering more of it and moving it into a quartz crystal. This is essentially how a quintessence battery is made. It is a LOT of work and I have myself a headache doing it. But... BUT!!! I DID IT! I power-packed a quartz!I actually feel cool today.
Day 7 is about the Crown Chakra and the Bushido Virtue of Chu, Duty & Loyalty. This chakra is all about spirituality and enlightenment. The virtue is about being true to the people/things I am responsible for. That will take some thot.
I spent a lot of time in the white gi training in the dojo or working with the Zen garden again. I am doing a lot of thinking today. The quartz stone goes everywhere with me as I jam all the Quintessence I can into it. My tea today is very simple. Two Dove Silver Needle is a very high quality light white tea. I wonder if I confused Levi when I brought over a small tea service. I put my finger to my lips to indicate this was to remain in silence. I did tea ceremony for him with this white tea. Then I bowed deeply to him for honoring me by accepting my tea. This gave me an idea for later. Part of the Oath of the Healer's Path was to Mourn the tragedy. I will set up an ancestral shrine for myself... maybe for everyone. Today is a day of fasting. I had only tea, water, rice and a little fish. I gathered some ginko leaves to decorate my ritual space as I had done with the momiji leaves before, and pressed a few as well.
This chakra is blocked by addictions and attachments. I will let these go; I will mourn them... but everything changes. That is the only constant.
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND.
I ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO LET GO.
That is also a spiritual act. I walked out to the stone cairn I built and set out a small offering dish with some sweet jasmine rice in it. With it I put a another little quartz that I had and lit a small candle in a little lantern. I knelt and bowed my head down till the candle was completely burned. This was for my ancestors, but also for the recent lives lost. It was also for the loss of the way of life we have all had to give up.
And so concludes my seven days of chakras and virtues.
