Un fiore a otto petali - II
Journey into space energy of Milan Part two of two
Milan as a flower: the corolla of Piazza Duomo My research on the landscape of the Goddess of Milan has developed and deepened, making exploration geomantic together with Marko Pogacnik, traveling at a seminar in Milan . The result is a possible description of the multidimensional space of the town and a "holistic", where the focal points of the energies of its living organism are fused with the spiritual values \u200b\u200bof his time landscape.
Milan is a planetary chakra, whose essence can be described as a flower with eight petals, each of which expresses the special quality. The corolla is taking place around the area of \u200b\u200bPiazza Duomo, the energetic heart of the city and place of the Goddess of Creativity, fertile and generous, which dispenses food to the children. In Madunnina soaring to the top of the cathedral, dedicated to Santa Maria Nascente, we recognize the feminine soul of the city, which from time immemorial he officiates worship.
Set the corolla are the elliptical area, which is held around Piazza della Scala, which is both the place of the Goddess of Wholeness, and the place of connection to cosmic forces of the ancestors. To those evolutionary forces grant us the experience of all beings who inhabited this world before us. At one time this was the area where he was Nemeton the sacred, the sacred grove of the Celts, the paradise on earth.
Forces archetypal located in the depths of the earth, this flower gets its nourishment. One indication of this could be reflected in the Visconti coat of arms of the city (that we see on the wall of the Archbishop's Palace), a snake or dragon, animal associated with the deep Earth, swallows a child, but it really seems to "take him out," give birth ". In many cultures the snake / dragon does not have the negative connotation that was subsequently, but it is vital currents of the symbol of Mother Earth, which nourishes life on this planet.
I Petali
Le qualità della Dea della Trasformazione sono espresse dal complesso formato dalla chiesa di
Santo Stefano e la Cappella dell’Addolorata, in
San Bernardino alle Ossa . Per farne esperienza possiamo immergerci, dapprima, nel campo purificante della chiesa di Santo Stefano, che come una grossa macina ci aiuta a trasformare tutte quelle esperienze che non servono più alla nostra evoluzione personale. Poi possiamo fare esperienza della profonda benedizione che si emana dalla Cappella dell’Addolorata, suggestivamente decorata con le ossa di un antico cimitero cristiano.
Così come
Sant'Ambrogio , patrono della città, holds the identity and the key, the Basilica dedicated to him has grown as a place of self-knowledge of self, self-reflection.
Like a small scale model of the soul energy of Milan, we cross the portal into energy in the nave. The portal consists of two columns supporting a Snake - is said to be the same one that was forged in the biblical story of Moses in the desert, to which popular tradition attributed miraculous properties - land that connects us to the depths, and the other holding a cross with arms of equal, that brings us to the vastness of the cosmos. The meeting point of these forces is each of us. Other
petal of the flower is the Basilica of San Lorenzo
that - as in fairy tales are the issues of long life - is the seat of vital energy related to water, an element that gives youth and vigor. This site is connected intimately to the soul of the city, because this power of long life is an expression of his own archetype and its connection with the deep roots of the Earth.
further expression of connection with the Earth can be felt in the square opposite the Church of Santa Eufemia
: place dedicated to the contact with Mother Earth. Seems to suggest: a big tree to get a large crown, needs deep and conscious roots.
meeting place is the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dei Miracoli in San Celso , also known as the Church of the spouses. Today, this shrine to the vibrating frequency of the archetype of the Sacred Marriage, the Union, the meeting of the Feminine with the Masculine to make the miracle of the One.
The meeting between Heaven and Earth is reflected in the decorations in the church: what is below is what is up. The mandala maze floor under the cupola reflects the decorations above and seems to collect and channel all energies present in the Holy Place: at the center of its circular shape, placed on axis with the dome, creating a vortex energy, which allows you to experience the quality of Sacred Union between the Divine Principle. A strong upward current energy lifts us up to meet the sky while being fully rooted to Mother Earth. From this sacred meeting was born the Son, Humanity.
This path within the energy space in Milan can make a contribution to the development of quality creative able to awaken in us the sleeping goddess: drive as a new way - as "pilgrims sensitive to the Earth" - the ways of ' soul of places and ourselves, revisiting places that reveal the signs of his presence, waiting to be reborn.
Afterword:
Holy Places vital energy of the Earth
We recognize the quality of a landscape from his bio-geological conformation (rivers, underground rivers, springs, lakes , forests, hills, mountains ...) and energy through the "strengths" of the human body similar to the chakras, or energy lines and lines of the dragon, comparable to the acupuncture meridians where energy flows in the human body in the vision Chinese medicine.
These two levels are permeated and sustained by the soul-spiritual dimension, which bears the imprint of the Divine Feminine that represents the totality of the landscape, the level that gives dimension to the sacred lands, places environments.
The various expressions of a geographical area represent the body of the Goddess, which animates and permeates the whole landscape of his qualities, which are expressed in the principles of "all original" (virgin), the "creativity" (union male female) and the transformation and rebirth.
E 'was the culture of the Late Stone Age, who first recognized the soul of the landscape and to offer a form in which they occur. By developing the language of standing stones, stone circles, mounds of, assistance on the ground.
Collaboration between human spirituality (worship, rituals, pilgrimages made over time and the renewed focus on awareness, combined with the strength of the heart) and the vital energy of the place, create new spaces geomantic, which could be called "Temples of Landscape."
The sacred nature of places - where the consciousness of the Earth meets the man's conscience - was also manifested through those "therapeutic tools" that are asked, they were built so that the devotee may have had experiences in prayer for healing and soul both the body and were then designed and built according to precise coordinates and symbolic universe. Everything had to be in harmonious accord with Heaven, Earth, Nature, to convey to the faithful of the particular qualities that were specific to each building and the particular site where they were built. So every place of the sacred landscape of the city is the meeting point of dialogue between the consciousness of the visitor, lovingly attentive, and the soul of the place.
