S(t)even Years
Chakra Year One

Year One

Security

Located at the base of the spine, this chakra forms our foundation. It represents the element earth, and is therefore related to our survival instincts, and to our sense of grounding and connection to our bodies and the physical plane. Ideally this chakra brings us health, prosperity, security, and dynamic presence.

What's New

The Beginning of S(t)even Years

Ringing in the new year was especially significant for me since it marked the beginning of S(t)even Years. Shortly after midnight, I put on a red leather bracelet. My intent is to wear one item of red clothing everyday for the next year. This external part of S(t)even Years is to serve as a reminder of the year's focus on Security. As with anything, once we put our attention on something, it grows. An immediate manifestation of this was my awareness of red. Before leaving the New Years Party at my good friend Eddie Hibb's house I realized: the punk rock guy I kissed to ring in the new year had flaming red hair, Eddie's favorite color is red and his walls are red, I drank deep red cranberry juice all night, and the song on my drive home was "Red & White" from the soundtrack "Before the Rain."

Slightly after Christmas I started to feel anxious about the project. I likened it to a marriage; the commitment, the love, the nervousness and excitement, the foreseeable life(style) changes. Any feelings of retreating from the project were about cold feet and acknowledging the immense commitment of a 7-year project.
