A Blue Dragon Emerges
I saw a blue dragon looking me square in the eyes. Seriously, I did. Funny Delightful Son laughed at me when I told him this. But I really did. At meditation. We were being guided through Kapalabhati Breath, and when I reached the point of exhaling every last bit of breath from my body, sitting and observing the swirls inside me, a blue dragon appeared amidst the swirls. I left the class wondering why of all things that could have formed in my mind it was a blue dragon. I'm not complaining. In fact, I love it was a blue dragon that emerged. I love the symbolism associated with the color blue--confidence, intelligence, calm--as well as the symbolism connected to the dragon--powerful, wisdom, regeneration. I thought, too, about how I was born in the year of the dragon on the Chinese zodiac, so perhaps there is a reason the blue dragon showed itself to me. I'm finding that I really don't care if others laugh about my experiences with yoga and meditation....
