Booga Booga?

I woke up at 4 am to use the bath room and couldn't sleep, so I thought I would read the blog for a bit. The strangest thing happened. When I went to sign in on this blog site, I hit the key to enter my user name and my mother's email address entered itself.. and as I am writing this the "save now" link is flashing at me. Hmmmmm...... I would get the meaning more if it was Dad because he used to wake at this time to write. Any body know what she is saying?

The 12 or 13 Chakras

The second topic is chakras. Most people are familiar with the widely accepted seven major chakras of the human body. Please remember, these are only theories – it does not mean I am right, nor does it mean the others are right. You have to decide for yourself.

Many years ago, I ‘saw’ thirteen chakras – and was poo-pooed when I tried to bring up the topic.

My friend told me she heard about twelve chakras, so I excitedly Goolged “12 chakras”, and was sorely disappointed by what I found.

So I Googled thirteen chakras, and again, not quite what I was looking for. The closest I found was at the link below:

http://www.quantumretreat.com/chakra/pages/Eighth%20through%20Twelveth%20Chakras.aspx

The rest were very disappointing.
So, I will describe what most presented for the thirteen chakras followed by what I ‘see”. This, however, does NOT mean I am right!


Using a piano/keyboard as an example: the white keys (whole notes) represent the MAJOR chakras, while the black keys represent minor chakras.
What I saw in “google-land” was predominantly people identifying the twelve or thirteen chakras as: the seven major chakras (white keys) and then, using the half notes (black keys), filled in the other 5 or 6 chakras within the major (white keys) chakras.

Now to describe what I ‘see’.
The seven major accepted chakras, plus:
A peach colored chakra between the knees.

Another chakra at the base of the feet (no color here, but it does have the same vibration/feel as Mother Earth).

The other four chakras (as I see them when I am working on my chakras) progress, further and further, in distance beyond the crown chakra. Again, I have no colors associated with these other four chakras.

My friend believes she may have found the explanation of the other five chakras (based on a twelve chakra system). She found a description at “Bringers of the Dawn:
Teachings from the Pleiadians, Pt. 4”, YouTube link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-5NaezgFKo&feature=related

Here they describe the 8th chakra as “realm of activity” and approx. one foot above the head; 9th as a “connection to the grid work” and located approx. above the earth; 10th a connection to the “solar system”; 11th connection to “galactic system”; and the 12th “anchored in the universe”.

I cannot say that I agree with the Pleaiadian channeling – but, again, it does not mean I am right! I am however, offering it up to you.

Ophiuchus - 13th Zodiac Sign?

Had a chat yesterday with a dear friend, and she brought up two topics which piqued my interest, and that I would like to share here: ‘Ophiuchus’ (13th zodiac) and Chakras.
(I am going to split these two up and enter them as two separate entries.)

My friend recommended that I Google this word - Ophiuchus - and found it is the thirteenth zodiac sign (or sun sign). During my Google-ing, I ran across the “YouTube” entry, “Lost Books of Nostradamus 2012 and Ophiuchus”. It was an interesting video (three parts) of the History Channel’s presentation – which explained that Nostradamus’ lost book consisted of paintings depicting the “end of the world” scenario/prediction, and included Ophiuchus’ role in this.

I am not a big fan of “doom and gloom”, so my point is not the end of the world; rather, it is what role Ophiuchus plays in the alignments and how it affects the human population.

If you decide to look into this, please share your thoughts/ideas on it.
