Much cooler today! Wonderful! Some respite from the persistent heat.

Read a moving story in Myss's book (Anatomy of the Spirit). It concerned an American Indian who was captured by the German's in WW II, was tortured, and who ended up in a coma in a camp when he was liberated. He survived and was given braces and crutches that allowed him to hobble about. He returned to his reservation to say goodbye to his people before checking himself into a VA hospital. His tribe were shocked when they saw him. They counseled together and went to him, took off his braces, tied a rope around his waist, and threw him in a deep stream. They told him that he had lost his spirit and that he needed to call it back to him. Or else, they would just let him drown since no one could live without their spirit. He managed to relive his torture and pains, experience his anger and outrage, and emerged from the water. He went on to heal and to walk, and became a great shaman for his people.

I too need to call my spirit back to me. I have lost my spirit and need to call it back. I have spent the day in that manner--and will continue to call out to it and bring it home.

I noticed yesterday in reading her book that my lack of energy was related to the loss of energy in my 3rd chakra (perhaps all of them, but that one in particular). I've begun the process of recovering my energy in that domain. Now, I'm adding to that process the specific calling back of spirit as well.

May I walk again as well! May that be my reality!
