Zen in the Art of Archery

-
If one really wishes to master an art, technical knowledge of it is not enough. One has to transcend technique so that the art becomes an "artless art" growing out of the Unconscious. In the case of archery, the hitter and the hit are no longer two opposing objects, but are one reality.

Grounded Spirituality

------------------------------------------------------------ GROUNDED SPIRITUALITY There is difference between being spiritual and avoiding physical and social reality, and being truly spiritual as part of being here, right now, connected to the present moment. For  The Cardinal Method of Life Connection ℠,   Hematite is a great stone to ground us and keep us aware of both our spiritual wisdom and the present moment. It brings peace and awareness of our physical reality, our bodies, and the people and environments around us.  In the  CMLC ℠ perspective ,  Hematite is a related to the Earth Chakra and connects us to the peaceful ability to consent to reality as it is, clearing away our perfectionism. It belongs to the Trigonal Crystal System, and like all Trigonal stones, it also aligns our Crown Chakra.  For more information about the concept of grounded spirituality, there's a whole chapter about it in the book YOUR CARDINAL CONNECTI

Lapis Lazuli Consciousness

Lapis Lazuli is a strong stone that helps heal the ego in a  Cardinal Method of Life Connection ℠  ( CMLC℠ )   perspective.  It brings peace of mind and deep, grounded wisdom to the Soul. In a  CMLC ℠   perspective, Lapis Lazuli is connected to the Medicine Buddha & Dhanvantari in Ayurvedic wisdom. The basic principle in this connection is that all dis-ease starts in the ego and in distorted mind patterns, and when we heal the ego, we may eventually heal the physical body. Lapis Lazuli belongs to the cubic/isometric system, which balances the root chakra, and its color balances the third-eye, so Lapis connects and strengthens these two chakras.  Lapis Lazuli is a royal-blue crystal streaked with pyrite, and more intense the blue color is, the more it reveals the quality of the specimen.  I hope you've enjoyed this little piece of  CMLC ℠   crystal info! Let me know your thoughts in the comments area below, and for more  CMLC℠ , visit the YouTube Channel  PAOL
