THE SEVENTH REALM: AMETHYST — The seven realms within

Then she saw the seven wheels of light in her body. Each kept its own color; all moved to the same rhythm.

The red wheel turned at the base of her spine, where her tail began. In it she recognized the flame of the Red Realm and the joy of service. She remembered Yaseee and felt the earth supporting her again.

Low in her belly, the orange wheel shone. There was Eolin’s alchemical cauldron, turning all she received through food and her bonds with others into nourishment.

The yellow wheel lit her solar plexus. Skyblue knew the danger of taking the fire of others for herself; now she felt the sun within, renewing its light by sharing it.

At the center of her chest, the green wheel opened beside the lotus and the violet and pink flames. The first transmuted suffering; the second was a balm of love that accompanied her encounter with her inner self. Skyblue sensed the fragrance of the flower that had taken so long to open.

The turquoise wheel shone in her throat. With her voice she could reach other creatures, awaken questions, and encourage them to seek their own paths. She had seen how far a word traveled after leaving her mouth.

The indigo wheel glowed between her brows. Her third eye let her see beyond appearances and recognize the intention that gave shape to her creations.

At the crown of her head, the amethyst wheel completed the union. Skyblue felt Helio throughout her being, in every one of those lights.

Skyblue remembered the times Helio had spoken of ascending and she had insisted they were flying forward.

Now she could feel it: she had traveled upward and inward.

The seven realms lived within her. Within other beings too, though some didn’t yet know it. Each experience had awakened and brought into harmony a part of that inner world.
