Day 15 – Chesed in Tiferet

As we begin to formulate who we are (our free selves)—we want to first and foremost remain open. Tiferet is associated with the gut in the body (our body’s intuition) and for the gut to work smoothly it needs motility. The energy then of this first day is to be open to more input into the formulation of the blueprint of your humaneness. This input can be direct or circumstantial. While empathy is at the essence of our general human blueprint, each of us needs to create the unique blueprint that reveals our essence.

Picture 541

Meditation: What are people (or circumstances) informing me today in how I should open up and expand my way of seeing myself? A closed vessel cannot take any new information in—visualize yourself as open. Today is openness.  Tomorrow is focus and defining.  Today is today—be open.
