A delightful line drawing of Green Tara by the master of Tibetan arts Sherab Palden Beru.
Green Tara
As I sat in the lotus position
I settled in meditation
I noticed the rainbow in front of my eyes
Nature reminding me of the beauty
In the world all around me,
No need for because’s, no need for why’s.
Then this message came to me:
“I know no fear”
I felt that familiar comforting presence
Of Green Tara, I can feel her near
“I know no fear”
“I know no fear”
I can feel her pouring strength,
into my whole being.
And the little rainbow has turned green and is flickering.
As I start chanting Tara’s mantra in my head
My lips followed
I can feel my soul, my heart, my physical body
Filling up with courage, strength and feeling invincible
I keep chanting and the energy inside me
Keeps filling up, up, up, like a bottle.
The rainbow is now completely green
Green. Emerald green.
The colour of my heart chakra
Emerald green.
The colour of Green Tara.
Now I force myself to stay still
to NOT reach for a pen and paper
to write down how I feel.
Sit still, observe, take it all in
As the blessing is taking place
Stay here, stay now, plugged in
As the healing is taking place
“Please Green Tara can you help me
Please can you heal my back
So I can be a better karma yogi,
A warrior staying on her track”
Then I felt the warmth
Enveloping my body, going down my spine
I felt that loving healing light bath
Coming from the power of this feminine divine
Green Goddess who appears
By the side of those who need to be reminded
That THEY, too know no fear.
May I be still enough to appreciate the beauty around me,
May Green tara always bless my life and the life of all sentient beings
May I make room for my yoga practice everyday
To remember who I am:
A humble Karma Yogi on her path to help others.
Just a comet.
Noemie.
