New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Black
Incense of the day: Sandalwood Yama, the Hindu god of death, is honored today. Cover your altar with a black cloth. In the south quadrant of your altar, make an offering to Yama of a dish of cooked rice and a pot of rainwater. Sit before the altar and think about those who have gone before you. Remember that your thoughts send vibrations throughout our interconnected universe, so wish your relatives well. Now focus on your breath. Inhale for five counts, holding the word "peace" in your mind as you inhale. Exhale for five counts, seeing yourself breathing peace out into the world. Meditate in this fashion for twenty minutes. At the end of your meditation, bow to Yama and say: "May the good of this practice benefit my ancestors, and all of us living in the world today." |
