Sunday Noon Meditations

Now is the Moment to reflect. Now is the Moment to prepare. Now is the Moment to construct your vow to yourself for 2022.

Swami Prananada, Mahaswami’s teaching this week continues the focus on preparing for the Solstice and the new cycle of 2022. Now is the Moment to reflect. Now is the Moment to prepare. Now is the Moment to construct your vow to yourself for 2022.
 Do not wait until the last breath to think of those things which you wished you had done before. Perform your tarka now. And, enter the new cycle with clarity.
Create a sacred space in your week for this meditation. The number is the same, the time is the same, the astral temple is the same. You are always welcome to join the sangha and to share in this sacred time. Your presence is a blessing.

Free yourself from the limitations of who you think you are and become one with the divine light.

The Lila of Maya….the Play of Life. What roles have you assumed and agreed to play in this life you are living? How do these roles obscure clear seeing and balanced self awareness?
 How do you limit your horizon of awareness and your opportunities for happiness and contentment as the mind clings to ideas of who and what ‘You” are.
 Your life is the field for your spiritual practice. The questions can be answered. You can free yourself to find a life that brings you greater joy.
 There is no distance in our meditation. This week share your meditative energies and your inner joy!

Transforming the desires of the mind

Hmm….oatmeal, persimmon, grapes. Oh that delectable book. What color shawl – indigo blue, sea green, cherry red, chocolate brown? Or, shoes, shoes, shoes so many to choose from. What music? What color car? What places to travel? What languages to learn? So many possible ways for the desires of the mind to express themselves.
Your life is the field for your spiritual practice. Your desires the game; the play of life. How can you best use the desires of the mind upon your path to greater contentment, joy, a broader horizon of awareness?

Finding greater insight into the nature of life

What Should I Do? What Should I Do?
Read a book? Make this an Ice-Cream Sunday? Or Meditate?
The nature of the mind is to fluctuate from one thought to another thus driving the body hither and yon. On this day when the Mercury moves retrograde in the sky, the energy to solidify one thing is present.
May that one thing become clarity in your life search.
