Grapes and Kundalini...

When I was here in CA 5 years ago from Feb- May I saw the grapevines trusseled up like men hanging over fences.  Looked rather uncomfortable to me.  The branches were empty of all leaves and were dry brown in color.  When I returned in Nov of last year I thought to myself that it will be fun to see the grapes growing thru a season.  So as the months passed the dry branches turned to leaves of various hues of green and began looking healthy and lush.  Had been wondering when the grapes would arrive and even though I have driven the roads by some wine land I never noticed the fruit until today.  The grapes all hang below the leaves.  There are different colors of grapes.  For there are many varieties of wines from this area.  I thought today that it would be fun to see the grapes harvested and to see how they make the wine.  

Am not sure I will be able to do this since I will be having surgery but will see.

Kundalini comes in all forms to different people.  There are some events that everyone shares and others that are unique to an individual.  Just as the grapes go thru stages - one in the midst of Kundalini goes thru stages.  There are dark times and lush joyful times- there are times when one feels like he/she is staked to a fence not knowing what is walking along the path.  Open and vulnerable - staid and exposed.  Then there are the joyful blissful times when everything is colored bright and beautiful.  One is given the confidence to walk strongly and service those in need.

As the grapes grow beneath the greenery the energy of Kundalini begins its flow becoming stronger and stronger as one surrenders and trusts in the process. 

So the grapes will be ready for harvest- they will be used to make wines of all flavors just as the Kundalini eventually brings the Shakti to the Shiva in a marriage of glorious grace.

Finding Kundalini in all things is what Living with the Kundalini is all about.  We learn to embrace that gift of love and walk with it thru the world as we know it.  We surrender to the process and flow with the energy in every increasing waves of love and grace.  Like the wine that flows with the harvest - reaching around the world to all cultures - all countries - all peoples.
