As a little girl, I was always thrilled by the prince who would slay the dragon and saving the lives of innocents. (yes, innocents - plural. not innocence, even though that could work too).
Disasters strike. They have become our modern day Dragons. We all band together to "slay the evil thing that did such and such to us."
This morning I heard on the radio, from some government person responding to tornado related destruction "We will prevail over the tornados!" I burst out laughing. Really??? We will prevail over tornados? We can rise up from the destruction caused by tornados, but tornados, and other "natural disasters" will happen. Probably more than once.
Back to the dragons.
Dragons are all about root chakra - fear. The 4 biggies: survival, food, sex, sleep. Mostly survival. In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, he talks about "Abhinivesha" or fear of death. It pretty much boils down to that.
So what is at the root of our survival issues? What governs our feelings around whether or not we will survive? Money. Money. Money. So money may very well be the "root" of all "evil" - root being the root cause of fear, and evil being the dragon we need to slay in order to feel safe.
So, how do we slay this dragon? Do we even want to actually slay the dragon? What happens if we do/don't? What if we want a dragon as a pet?
Stay tuned for more on modern day dragon slaying, and you may end up becoming your own knight (or day) in shining armor! (shining being the luminosity that knows no sorrow, often said to reside in the heart chakra, and armor being the will to live from that place)
