My message is...Belly Button???

Last week I did a guided meditation at a new moon goddess circle. It was a guided meditation to go through a variety of symbolic visualizations, and after we experienced the guided meditation, we were then informed what each visual symbolized. 

It started with a harbor, which represents my social life. I visualized three different kind of boats, which makes sense because I like a lot of types of social experiences. Then the boat we got on represents how we view ourselves... lucky for me, mine was a luxury yacht!!!! Hahaha!

So on and on it went, and I had a positive experience through the variety of visualizations, with no major surprises when what each visualization was supposed to represent was revealed. 

At the very end of the meditation, we are visualizing laying in a natural space - mine was under a real tree in my grandfather's (now my parents') backyard, and "One of God's creatures comes to visit."  Not surprising my totem animal came to visit: butterflies. 

They also had a message for me. And my message was... Belly button???

Yes. It was. My message was "Belly button." I always knew I was  quirky girl, but what the?

Ok, actually... it makes total sense because I've been thinking in terms of what the body might symbolize in our life, and so I knew that my message was not SIMPLY Belly Button, but rather a question of what Belly Button means!

So I've had the chance to contemplate this, which is of course the point of a guided meditation, to keep thinking about what insights I gained afterward. 

And a belly button is interesting. It is actually a scar. It's a scar from being disconnected from your source of life!!!!!

But it's also a symbol that I have a mother; that we all have a mother. It's an opportunity to remember where I came from.

It's a symbol of a truly amazing organ: the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord is a twisted rope that takes the blood vessels from a baby and winds them around with the blood vessels from the mother (via the placenta), and the blood vessels get so closely intertwined that the nourishment from the mother's blood is transferred to the growing baby's blood!!! 

It's truly amazing. 

And once disconnected, the veins that give a child life are simply absorbed into the body. Even that can be symbolic, that we take the source of life from OTHER and we begin to nourish ourselves. 

So I'll take that message! I love that message, in fact. I love what Belly Button says to me. What does it say to you?????
