April 30 - May 6

For many years, morning meditation in the library has been an element of nearly every work party and program at Indralaya. This year, inspired by our time at the Krotona School of Theosophy and the national headquarters in Wheaton, IL, we've been experimenting with a 9:00 meditation for those who are at camp between programs ~ residents, fellowship staff, wwoofers, and people on personal retreat, for example. The meditation is a work-in-progress that has evolved considerably over the few months that we've been working with it. It follows in its current form. Please feel welcome to adapt it to your own use and let us know of your experience with it. 

 

 

Please begin by bringing your awareness to your breath and through your breath, to the present moment... (2 minutes)

From deep within, let us feel our harmony with each other... (2 minutes)

Let us feel our harmony with nature and the presence of all that is here at Indralaya... (2)

Now turn your awareness to your heart center and align with the wisdom that is present there...  (2)

Let us be in alignment with that aspect of our being that is one with every other... (2)

Let us center ourselves in stillness...  (10)

May our minds be open to the inspiration of those who have dedicated themselves to the service of the world... (2)

Let us send peace, goodwill and healing out to the world around us...  (2)

Let us finish by saying OM together three times 

We begin and end the meditation by sounding a singing bowl.

Travel Time

Later today, Leonie and I will be leaving to attend a gathering of “Holistic Centre Administrator’s”. As you might guess by the spelling of centre, the conference is taking place outside of the country. The gathering is taking place at Findhorn, Scotland. It’s an exciting opportunity to spend time with others who do the same sort of work that we do.

We will be back to Indralaya on May 23, just in time for the Memorial Day weekend work party. I'm not sure when there will be an opportunity to post an entry here. If there’s good internet access at Findhorn, I’ll try to post next week - if not, we’ll see you when we return!
