Embroidering Chakra Images - Energy for Heart ... - Wiehler Gobelin

Sensitive people whose “vase” is also already in the stage of light
penetration, can therefore very easily pick up the thoughts and
feelings of other people. But the opposite direction is also possible.
Thoughts and feelings can contribute towards the points at the
beginning of the rays of light being blocked at the lid of the vase.
The connection to the energetic structure of the environment is thus
made difficult or is interrupted so that at this point congealment sets
in again.
This energetic environment that connects all vases or bodies with
one another, has been given different names in the doctrines of wisdom
throughout the world: Breath of Life, Chi, Ki, Ether, Prana...
They all mean the same thing. They describe the never-ending
source of original energy of life, with which we are connected via our
energetic organs, the chakras.
The more intensive we devote ourselves to the care of these organs,
the more harmonious they will rotate in the frequency of their lifegiving
environment. The further this harmony devel-ops, the more
penetrable and enlightened will be the formerly rigid coating of the
vase – to abide by this image.
The energetic anatomy of our body with fully functioning energetic
organs in harmony with the rotational pattern of the “ether” is the
exact copy of the wholesomeness to which we can return by our own
power.
You will probably ask yourself “How”, “How does
that work?” “What could the care of the light organs,
the chakras, look like?”

Energy for Heart and Hand
As the existence of our energetic organs and the quality of their
wellbeing is often or even usually beyond our conscious perception,
recommendations such as the loud tones of an open “O” to relieve
chronic stomach ache, are strange to us. We would certainly feel a
lot happier with the familiar recommendation of a diet. Even if the
diet still remains an important contribution to healing on a physical
level, it is also important to undertake an energetic treatment of the
affected organ. This can be achieved by activating and harmonising
the relevant energetic organs, in the case of the stomach, the third
chakra.
In order to achieve an activation of this kind, there are many possibilities.
One would be e.g. the above-mentioned acoustic method,
but prayers and meditation with the colours of the chakras have also
proved to be effective.
However, a further possibility would be to unite
oneself with the quality of the chakras on a symbolic
level.
As already explained in the article “What is a symbol?”, the symbol
is a bridge to an original entity that has a reminding function and to
which contact should be made.
By seeking the encounter with symbols of the chakra, the light organs
are reminded of their function of uniting to form a whole of the
field of the original energy of life.
This approach has been practised since time immemorial so that an
abundance of colours, shapes, sounds and elements have always been
associated with the quality of each individual chakra.
Embroidery of symbols - our inner experience
We at Wiehler Gobelin would like to invite you to devote yourself to
the care of your energetic organs in the art of embroidery.
From the rich symbolic language for the chakras we have, in our own
creativity and attentiveness, developed an artistic, overall composition
for each chakra that will not make the choice so easy for you!
So what happens when you are embroidering – what makes it so special
to embroider a symbol such as the image of a chakra?
On this topic we had an interesting conversation with the anthroposophically
trained artist and art therapist, Philemon-Sophia Hoepfner-Jordan.
She reported to us that within the framework of childhood
education at a Waldorf School (pedagogy according to Rudolf Steiner)
cross-stitch is taught most consciously at the pre-adolescent age of approx.
10 years. The sewing of the crossing stitches creates a picture on
the material that is regarded as being connected with the likewise crossing
movement in eurhythmics. The aim is to bring to the minds of the
children the act of centring themselves both via movement and via the
encounter with the image on the fabric and to make it possible to experience
this in a physically sensuous way. This training helps to form
the self-energies that – in the opinion of the Waldorf teachers – should
be developed particularly at that age so that the following detachment
processes can be easily mastered during puberty.
So you can now embroider from a quite different perspective!
