Agni Hotra Day 1

HAPPINESS!  GRATITUDE!  Received Agni Hotra kit, some books and other materials from Copperworks (http://www.agnihotrasupplies.com/) this afternoon.  Reviewing the process and remembered this video:

Looking forward to offering this practice to Kasama House and surrounding neighbors/area.

Am looking for online clocks with atomic timing.

Not much success.  Will I need to buy one?

Palms together in gratitude to Mama Makeda for sharing this praktis with me initially during Winter souls+us 2011.

Spoke with Shirley P. intuitive this weekend and certain things were shared about the upcoming job situation.  While I will take into account what she has said, am energizing for myself to stay on board safely through budget crisis, while at the same time actively moving to new foundations and areas of work — dharma work!  I don’t know what that will look like, and if this is the final year at work (at least in this form) then MAY IT BE SO for the NEW ADVENTURE TO ARISE.

A great deal in the midst. Much to digest and move through with my breath, praktis and knowing that ALL IS WELL.

Shirley suggested that I write more, journal, even if sporadic.  Here I am again on this, not even bothering to look at when the last post was, but returning again…honoring the 3 energy in me (numerology) and acknowledging a bit more the forms of expression/communication and how this may be of benefit.

Om sara siddhi hring hring soha!

REFLECTION

Day 1 Agni Hotra sunset.   I was a bit too fixed on getting all the elements right.  Can relax more :) but overall, either I inhaled too much smoke or I feel a sense of lightness in my mind which feels welcomed.  My mind is getting into all the details about storage and procedure and what not and maybe blocking actual physical/mental/spiritual effect since I’m preoccupying myself with the details rather than big picture.  All in all though, can’t wait to offer it up again tomorrow!

Agnaye Svaha!

Right Livelihood

Tonight we learn about another step on the Noble Eight Fold Path- Right Livelihood. The way we make a living has an impact on our world and society, but also on us.  As we make a living, we are also making ourselves.  Tonight’s class discusses the many ways the practice can nourish our work life and allows up to help ourselves, our co-workers and the people we serve all at once. Phap Ho is joined by two panelists from the Order of Interbeing who share about their path of practice and livelihood.  We are also reminded that whereever we work, we can aspire to bring kindness to our workplace.  As we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, may we all reflect on the work we are doing and how if is serving the Beloved Community and a more compassionate society.  The study materials can be found here  http://deerparkmonastery.org/teachings/moment-by-moment/course-material-week-7/view
