I am posting my photo album so that when I talk in today's entry about IDA's mandala you can go in and take a look. When I did Ida's mandala last spring, I put the cauduceus in it. It is the medical staff-or Wand of Hermes. She told me that all of her life she has felt as though she was going to save someone else's life. She is interested in becoming an EMT. Her father is a doctor. I gave her one of my favorite meditations using this as your visualization. She loved it. I was going through a book on chakras last weekend and came upon some information that was not only pertinent to her mandala, but is fun info for you as well! The Staff of Hermes is representative of several things. One of which is the three major psychic meridians in the body. Each begins at the base of the spine. The middle one is called Shushumna. It is the staff. It goes straight up the spine. The other two intertwine around the chakras and are the solar and lunar meridians. They are the snakes. They are known as the Ganges and Yamuna rivers. They are called PINGALA (solar) and IDA (lunar). Do you see what I see? LEARNING IS FUN!!!
