Standing Stones: 106 and 109

Aura-Soma Products has a new standing stone. It appeared in August and is the first standing stone to be placed on its grounds. (The other standing stones are all on the chakra walk at Shire Farm – a few miles outside Tetford.) Yesterday I was out running and decided to end my session by running up to this stone. As I reached it I noticed a snake carved into the marble plinth on which it stands. The snake, which faces in towards the stone itself surely represents kundalini, and the fact that it faces the stone would indicate kundalini rising. Something from the earth (base chakra) looking to ascend.

And then an interesting thought came. This stone has more or less coincided with the birth of B109 – and it is the first stone on this piece of land. And I remember there is another bottle in the Equilibrium sequence whose birth coincided with the erecting of a standing stone. It was B106 and the stone was the 6th chakra stone – the first to be erected on Shire farm.

Two bottles and two first stones – but what makes it especially interesting is the numbers in conjunction with the stones purposes. The 6th chakra stone on Shire Farm is (I understand) to draw down cosmic energies, acting like some kind of spiritual antennae. The number is 106 – and shape of the figure 6 is one of descending – drawing down. This new stone coincides with 109 and 9 is a shape of energy ascending. Now I can’t say I know the purpose of the stone on the Tetford land – but the symbolism of the snake and the shape of the 9 offer a confirmation of the way I would see the role of the two pieces of land.

On Shire Farm with its 6 stone energies are drawn down from the cosmos to nourish the land and the crops that are grown there. In time these crops will be brought to the Aura-Soma land in Tetford with its energy of 9 and there they will be incorporated into the colour products which are then offered back out to the world as a gift to stimulate the recognition of spirit. So these two stones associated to these two bottles creates a wonderful energy cycle: 6 drawing down and 9 offering up.

It is another sign for me that 109 is about living our truth on the earth. With 101 we stepped out from Paradise and came to earth; with 109 we stand on the earth but it is time to rise in consciousness again.
