Meditate for good - Day 7 (Smile )
SMILE JEWELS!
It’s Day 7, and you’re almost there. Have you felt a shift? We have! So many of you AROUND THE WORLD are meditating together, and it’s so powerful. Today you'll be doing the SMILE meditation with Michael McSwain.
Making offerings to an altar or Buddha statue, is sometimes seen as superstitious or esoteric, or even unimportant, so we thought we’d clear a few things up.
1. An altar practice can be a powerful way to “set the stage” and prime our minds for meditation. When we look at our meditation space, we are creating impressions on our mind of how much we value this practice, and how much we value what we hope to achieve with this practice. So we can use our creativity here to prepare ourselves to go inward.
2. The offerings placed on an altar are in symbolic relationship to the wisdom that we achieve through the introspective practice of meditation. Just like we’d offer a new lover flowers, we offer our own minds, and the potential of our mind flowers, incense, candles, etc.
3. Having a representation of the highest evolution of self (whatever that means to YOU) can be a super inspirational reference point to remind you where the finish line is, and what it might look like to get there. That’s why there’s a Buddha statue in many traditional Buddhist altars!
