MessageGood to hear from you Patrick!
The tonal aspect is very helpful. I drove my kidneys too hard over the past few years of residency and as I have been tuning in lately, I have noticed that my weakened kidney energy has resulted in some tinnitus. I am on a home practice retreat this week, and am doing some rebuilding/nourishing. Deep listening will become easier as my kidneys relax a bit and feel supported by the rest of the system.
I have not done much of the sun gazing because I have been working most daylight hours. My schedule is shifting now that I am finishing residency in 4 months, so I look forward to more real-time communion with the natural world!
In regards to your advice above, you seem to be connecting with Earth as the past and the sun as the future. I can see how that would work. If you have the time, try it with the moon instead of the Earth below. It has a slightly different flavor and may be just a way of cooking the Saturian issues differently.
One way that has opened it for me has been to feel the watery softening with realizing the compassion at the core of the solar being balanced by the radiant transformative love of the Great Goddess as the higher aspect of the Lunar being (the High Priestess.) Perhaps due to my Tibetan and Kabalistic training, my psyche keeps wanting to arrange it this way. It will be interesting to see if Michael has anything to chime in about why he changed the formula, and what the effects were with the previous arrangement.
When will we see you again?
Brian
