Chakras & Symbolism: Rose Thymus
It will come as no surprise to you that every person has their own idea of what chakras look like, both inside themselves, and in others. And, for all we know, each one of us might be right, or, maybe better said, each one of us is right for ourselves.
That’s how it goes when dealing with things that are invisible to the five external senses, and that’s why I only take students who understand that my goal is not for them to adopt my system, but to learn mine so as to be able to develop their own.
What that usually means is that we instinctually look for symbols to represent whatever it is that’s invisible.
Take medicine by way of example. We have the caduceus to represent all that medical personnel and treatment encompass.
The same is true of the chakras.
For the next few days, we’re going to touch on symbols for the chakras that have been used in the past.
A quick reminder the Eighth Rose Thymus Chakra is the template for impersonal love, compassion, and immunity from emotional, intellectual, and spiritual stress. Images of the Divine, any images of the Divine.
The color associated with it is, of course, rose — the connecting color between the first and seventh rays of the rainbow spectrum.
Generally, all imagery indicative of the Divine that works for you asa well as things that have spiritual significance to your own experience.
When you’re working on Seventh Rose Thymus Chakra issues, make sure you either wear or can see rose wherever you spend most of your time. Small pieces of origami paper work well for this. This covers sight.
Music trilling bells, celestial harmonies, often lyrical, without words cover hearing.
Rose foods of all kinds cover taste. Also, since this is such a rare food color, foods that remind you of places where you’ve been struck by rich rose pink.
Find a pink fidget, or put a small tumbled piece of rhodochrosite on your desk or get a small square of rose fabric and tuck it into your clothing somewhere to cover touch.
As for scent, the most primal of our senses, what smells like rose to you? There are plenty of rose-scented oils, to be literal about it. For some reason, I have a memory of a scent from a just-in-bloom rose garden in Lee’s Summit, Missouri that speaks a sea of rose to me. Imagine it, and there’s coverage for smell.
Soak up these symbolic rose reminders to fill up your eighth chakra.
A reminder: here is where chakras come from: When a being incarnates, there is a burst of brilliant light. I’d call that The Divine Spark. It animates all your systems. If you’ll view that burst of light, that Divine Spark, through a prism, you will see the eight major chakras.
