The wheel image I saw in Walking Meditation yesterday was horizontal meaning I was looking down onto it. Sensed it was a tubular wheel.
What Dharmachakra means?
The Wheel of the Law(dharmachakra) is the single most important symbol of Buddhism, denoting the Buddha’s First Sermon in the forest at Sarnath, where he set Buddhist Law (dharma) in motion.
What is the correct Dharmachakra?
A traditional Dharmachakra is a chariot wheel which can be depicted with varying numbers of spokes. A Dharma Wheel with eight spokes symbolizes the Eight Fold Noble Path. This is the most common form of Dharmachakra.
What are the colors of the Dharmachakra?
Golden Dharma Wheel symbol on a watercolor painted kaleidoscopic background, with red, orange and yellow hues. The Dharma Wheel, also called Dharmachakra, is one of the most important symbols in Indian Religions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism.
This image came through during Walking Meditation #1 today at Mt Si. It’s another piece of an evolving puzzle, story and consciousness.
What does a ship wheel represent?
The Ship’s wheel has greater meaning that many realize. It does mean the one who holds the wheel controls their destiny but fighting the currents and the wind to hold their course takes strength and resolve.
What religious symbol is a ships wheel?
Historically, the dharmachakra was often used as a decoration in East Asian statues and inscriptions, beginning with the earliest period of East Asian culture to the present. It remains a major symbol of the Buddhist religion today.
DHARMA WHEEL (BUDDHISM) – The dharma wheel, or dharma chakra in Sanskrit, is one of the oldest symbols of Buddhism. Around the globe it is used to represent Buddhism in the same way that a cross represents Christianity or a Star of David represents Judaism.
A helmsman relies upon visual references, a magnetic and gyrocompass, and a rudder angle indicator to steer a steady course. The mate or other officer on the bridge directs the helmsman aboard merchant or navy ships.
What is the spiritual meaning of the wheel?
As a symbol of the SUN, the wheel s spokes parallel the rays of the sun . It is the Wheel of Fortune in a deck of tarot cards, and in the Taoist tradition, the wheel is the Sage who has reached the point of motionless center, around which movement may occur without himself being moved.
There’s a new round “room” in my head or around my head that holds my Future—Now. Meaning, I can go there to move out of limited feeling, thinking, behaving. Meaning, I can be New. I have yet to put it into practice at this new degree. (What is “degree” ?) In this moment this feels like a wheel that I can steer. Maybe a dial letting me tune in and tune up new volume (degree).
This Light of Truth flooding is associated with degree. It’s a turning into. It’s new motion of e-motion. My intention is to watch for this newness today. New color for eyes, new sound for ears. It feels like a “reward” for work done. And it feels like a “promise” for work yet to appear around the corner. Definitely new response-ability.
Soon I’ll have a new job caretaking a four-month old boy and a household. I’ll start work at 7:30 am which means a new routine will be set into place so I can get out the door earlier. It’s another shift of focus.
Oh, just got a signal! This open space is meditative. It’s an open space that holds me in and with calm wisdom. Doubt creeps in (I have so many years of negative “by-passing”) so I go to my room! I turn to Truth letting go of old insecurities and limitations. Guess it’s all about wiring and beaming of Light. Diving into Truth rather than by-passing. As if it’s wrapped around me in new degrees.
Relationship is matter + energy charged to nth degrees depending on activated substances of water, air, earth and fire. These chemical components relate in and through balance. Relationships are teachers of balance. Relationships provide opportunity to get to know Truth about oneself, another and relationship as one whole. Oversoul. Charge can create burn out or can be sustained depending on Central focus. Is focus in Spirit? Is charge evolving as it revolves making all things new? Is matter adapting to the new? Is rotation, spin, axis ready for Revolution of Spirit?
Stillness and motion of boundaries (kaleidoscope images) Boundaries of dense matter give design to flow. Feel them along the edges that are swallowed up in flow. It’s All flow. Great visual for cellular healing.
“It’s the life force…”
I commit to Love of Self. Focused. Centered. Grounded.
This Pineal Breathing is healing elixir. I move it with healing intention through body of Soul.

Last night I asked friend David to put his hand on top of my head. An attunement effect that pulls outer edges inward. Head calls for this at times. Nice to trust David in spiritual intimacy. Thankful I Am for friendship.
I end here to get ready for work. Connected still—in this bubble of Love. Thank you 💗
Did that turbulence really happen? It seems so so far away but it did happen and I’m documenting it.
Somewhere in deep dark space a part of me was obliterated to pieces. In an orbit of nothingness I’m told that “music will put me back together again.” Reminds me of Humpty Dumpty—with a new ending.
Yesterday 1 year old twins sat next to me putting flat discs into a container through a slot. Raina was just learning and each time she succeeded she’d look at me as I gave her sparkling eyes of positive reinforcement. Then when her disc went in and made the clunking sound her eyes would sparkle as she looked at me eye to eye through the Language of Light beams! This teaching moment continued as Raina and Wiley (he had already learned this) learned to take turns. It was my expectation that they take turns and they fell in line with a little guidance. These moments of teaching and learning are bonding. What a gift of giving and receiving.
Turbulence in deep space. The craft bouncing off edges of 3D reality. Tumbling. Turning. Lost in space. Feeling the effects in 3D body as meridian in left hand (at thumb area) feels pressure, activates pressure. Tumbling. Turning. 3D body has convulsions (“merging meridians”) riding the intense currents. No orientation. No center point of stability. Spacecraft lost in deep space. Nothing making sense. A signal? Is there a signal in deep, dark space? Can I detect it? Receive it? Yes, I grab an arm to hold onto (like otters).
“Otters frequently hold hands to keep themselves from drifting apart while they sleep, which is one of the main reasons they do so. Otters frequently rest while floating on their backs in the water, and they can stay together by gripping hands and preventing separation.
Furthermore, otters may hold hands to create a raft, which aids in their flotation and energy conservation while they sleep.”
Had a dream about friends and meeting a local guru. When I stand in front of this giant of a man he hands me something. My brain lights up and I fall to the left going unconscious layer by layer. It was a sign of relationship connection. He gave me “salts” for healing and could see inside of me.
At 4:03 am I feel less lost in dark space. I need sleep lately so I sleep when I can.
I have a new relationship—with my stomach. I’m learning to listen and feed it in ways that keep it happy, in health. It’s an emotional, mental and physical relationship that teaches me about being centered within.
“Giving it life with your attention”

“Drawing it to you” A horse ranch has been drawing to me via physical senses. Why am I immersed in a horse ranch?
This morning I observed myself in action as I helped implement an art activity. I confidently covered every angle as if I was a pro orchestrating from center. It was as natural as it was unnatural. I don’t have words for it other than I was a different person. One with new seeing, knowing, expressing—new intelligence in and from left brain.
A couple days ago my lower right teeth and gums were very sensitive when biting down. This morning all my lower teeth were sensitive. For a moment I wondered if infection was spreading but I cut that short. Knowing more now about the stomach meridian I’m concluding there’s some rearranging going on behind the scenes. Healing is a fascinating process.
I “met” Paramahansa Yogananda years ago at Seattle’s East West Bookshop, after teaching a “circle of life—mapping one’s story” class. Upon leaving the bookshop I noticed a poster on the wall that said “YOGI.” When I focused my attention on it, a blast of energy swooped in and “lifted” my head by the neck like a gust of wind. I walked over to the poster and energetically “met” Yogananda. I realized, then and there, that he is one powerful yogi!
I experienced the same energetic connection at Narayan and Janet’s home in Seattle (musicians who met each other at the local Ananda Meditation Temple). An energy in the room kept singing to me. I looked around wondering where this song was coming from and there he was, looking out at me from a portrait on the wall.
When I became unemployed in 2009 I vacationed at my sister’s home in California and stayed on the beach in Encinitas (where I met mystical Sea Dragons as told in my book S/He Dragon, page 138). Walking the streets I was surprised to see the Self-Realization Fellowship Temple that was founded by Yogananda in 1920. There he was, again!
I consider Yogananda to be a cosmic friend and is why, last weekend, I was drawn to see the film Awake: The Life of Yogananda. I was so moved by his story of human drama and enlightenment that I ordered three of his books. This student now has a teacher, although my primary teachers will always be within. And this is exactly what Yogananda teaches: be still, go within and find inner bliss.
I am excited to explore this spiritual friendship.
