Hello everyone I just wanted to share what I have been hosting for the last week on Good of the Whole. It is held on Zoom but can also be joined in on Facebook.
There is more information below and if you feel called to join us any night please look at the links below. I will continue to post the replays on my YouTube Channel as well.
40 Day Japa Mala Meditation for Awakening. January 21st – March 1st Chanting – Nam Myoho Renge Kyo – to the Four Directions – finishing with AUM
1 Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo 2 Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo 3 Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo 4 Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo
AUM
Focusing on awakening to our highest Self by chanting, we can activate the power and wisdom that has forever been within us, as well as bringing forth great happiness and embodied fulfillment to others we encounter daily.
It also helps us to arise from suffering and delusion into our true nature which awakens the power, wisdom, compassion, and divine life force within us.
Japa Mala is Nightly @ 10:00 PM Eastern. Facebook Live and in The Connection Field with Good of the Whole. Sign in for zoom room ID at www.ConnectionFieldDigest.org
About the Chant: Devotion to the Mystic Law of the Lotus Sutra / Glory to the Dharma of the Lotus Sutra) are words chanted within all forms of Nichiren Buddhism
Namu to devotion or dedicate oneself
Myoho is Mystic Law
Renge means Lotus Blossom Kyo means Sutra
“Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is not only the core of the Buddha’s lifetime teachings, but also the heart, essence, and ultimate principle of the Lotus Sutra” The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 1, p. 860).
Let’s keep chanting together!
Our collective heart breaks as we stand at the edge of our world going through its current Dark Night of the Soul. We clearly know that everything feels out of balance and extremely unsettling. But the stars tell us that all is moving in the right direction! If we stay focused on love, joy, creativity, and peace, that is what our experiences will be now and in the future.
As we rest in tranquility, safety, and inner peace, our illusions of separation and societal upheaval will begin to dissolve. We will regain pure reverence for all of nature and each other, acknowledging our connection to everything in existence.
We will chant together 108 times as a spiritual practice to experience calm and sustainable peace. Our japa mala will give us clarity of mind and openness of heart. For 40 nights, this mantra meditation will help us steward the consciousness of what it means to truly live for the good of the whole… for our families, our community, our country, our land, all people, and for the world.
Fully surrender to that inner vortex of sublime radiance more often. ~Riverman
How beautiful it is to feel loved
in ways that dare you to express it with words.
Yes, and here they flow…
Safely held within a blissful energy field
of balance and harmony
Spiraling yet focused,
whole yet fractalized
Brilliantly shining and knowing
what can’t be seen nor spoken
It is here during a Full Moon
gathering at the Inner Well of Life Waters
that We embrace each other without
any sense of unworthiness
each of us a part of the other
There are times when we are not looking for any answers. Just taking time to enjoy the local scenery. The fresh air and sound of nature implore us to let go of our personalities.
Of course it is more interesting when it is the top of a mountain (even a small one).
The mountain I’m standing on in the cold winds of February is Mount Agamenticus here in York, Maine USA. Just a hill to many areas of our world (as it is only 692 ft ) yet the view of the Mountains of New Hampshire in the distance can be magical.
I drifted into an alignment with these amazingly powerful Beings who are a family that existed during the supercontinent Pangaea. And off I went flowing across space and time viewing the Amazing, distant snow covered Mountains that existed before humanity.
Sometimes it is the gentle cool breeze that touches our ear and hearkens us to listen more attentively. Because our minds want to communicate as they did when We were the first footrace with the ability to evolve.
It always amazes me how over the years, we each have been given distinct messages to present to the world.
Sometimes we do and many times we limit ourselves to only certain groups or individuals.
The anticipation that we may or may not be accepted or perhaps will be judged as a bit strange keeps us living at levels of limitation.
SO with the Solstice, Full Moon, Religious Celebrations of Light all leading us into a New Year and perhaps Human Era of Evolution…
May these words resonate within you…
As I re-viewed this beautiful co-creation of Peace, Light and Love today, it was asking to be presented once again as a mirror to remind us all of what we are to now more than ever express.
Let Us Radiate Our Highest Frequencies Let Our Unlimitedness Be Seen and Felt
Let Every Soul Fully Acknowledge and Activate the Divine Presence through which All Energy Forms gather in Harmony, Balance and Grace for Transmutation and Evolution
Leaves shudder and blow from the branches as they turn into the colors of fire
Reminding us of the cooler and darker season
in which we will reflect on our recently past days of Summer
Green and Bright they brought forth abundance
as we toiled and gathered in the warm breezes
holding sacred ceremonies for health and renewal
Now we join our hearts on the day of equal Light
to reflect on balancing both Day and Night,
as well as our Divine Feminine and Masculine energies.
Let us give our gratitude to all who assist us
from realms and dimensions both within and around us
in our planetary work of realigning all that is not in harmony
knowing that our family is much greater than what appears
Yes it is a time of both reflection and gratitude for all As we pass the Light to our family in the South with Love
May each of us honor within our hearts the sacredness
of all the cycles of Life and make an offering of water, cider or wine
to those special trees and stones we respect as Guardians
As they too, surrender to the seasons and cycles of balance
