This Symbala came through between two powerful eclipses in August of 2008. It felt like a wonderful way to bring back a sense of calm and balance which disappeared for many with the intense electrical/magnetic energies being felt in this period. No matter when or what's going on in the outer world, if you feel drawn to it, perhaps you feel a need to be gentle with yourself. From the eternal eye in the center to the balancing swirls interlaced throughout, it gave me a sense of peaceful love like being held in a gentle embrace. A message also came that the path of personal growth and conscious spiritual expansion is the path of the warrior. But sometimes in our warrior zeal we forget that great changes can occur without pain. And the one on whom we inflict the most pain is ourselves. Using Symbalas for change is a ‘Gentle’ process. Here are some observations from a friend who's working on such a process with this Symbala. "Gently, Gently" is more than a picture — it is a Cosmic Assignment, challenging me to balance every area of my high-paced life with peace, comfort and ease. It quietly invites me to slow down and give myself extra time to breathe (or smile) when I am speeding around, rushing from one moment to the next. In Loving Resonance, Lahrinda |
