Liberation – Deck Talk and Meditation
Liberation comes in many shapes and sizes.
It could be letting go of clothes you’ve had for twenty
years.
It could be friends or jobs that no longer serve
the needs you were put on earth to accomplish.
It could be recognizing the patterns or addictions
and actions or thoughts that are harmful
to ourselves and others, that are being highlighted for deletion.
In all of these cases, settling down your inner self
is THE BEST way to begin that Liberation
process.
It’s Mental Hygiene! We sit for twenty minutes
twice a day, clear our slate of accumulated
daily stresses and rid ourselves of deep-
rooted stresses that are hiding inside, ready to be released.
Our body does not want to hold onto
unnecessary stress.
My personal liberation in developing the Torah weavings
is to get a better understanding of the roots
I was born into.
So, I bought a Torah in Williamsburg that was going
to be buried or sold for teaching purposes and
began some study.
My form of liberation from ignorance.
On this particular parsha (portion), Exodus 12:2, is the story of the bloodstained lintels of the doorways
of the firstborn sons, to be protected from
a decree passed down by Pharaoh, the ancient
Egyptian ruler.
This piece comes from my series of allegorical weavings and is about
liberation from ourselves, from our neighbors, from our captors,
from our bodies.
Upon completing the knots — I counted 164, that make up this piece —
I found this # coincides with the belief
that the higher spirits are
sending a message that you are on the right path.
Always lovely to get these signs!
If you have a desire to liberate yourself
from the stress that binds you each day. Keeps you up at night.
Bombards you with self criticism and inner chatter.
And keeps you from your Creative Intelligence…
