Morning Pujas and Prayers.

Namaste my chelas all over the world.
External appearances are the basis of forming first impressions about any person.
While most people judge others on the basis of their first impressions about any person there are those who are thoughtful and wait and watch to understand a person more profoundly before they make up their mind about them.
When all of our senses are open with out judgment this is when every thing shines.
The sense of timelessness, the sense of open heart and open mind goes through an infinite state that we call Meditation.
Start to build up your mental muscles of awareness.
This is a place of non judgment.
When you feel your mind wandering during meditation just say to yourself THINKING THINKING THINKING.
Each one is different.
Focus on your in and out breath and expanding.
Then pay no attention to the breath.
Keep your spine straight.
There is a subtle energy that rides up and down your spine.
Place your palms on your thighs or palms together in your lap.
Try to keep the eyes closed.
Just take notice of your breathing. It flows in and it flows back out into space.
Little by little you hook on to that rhythm .
The breath comes out into the clear blue sky infinite spaciousness.
Say over and over when you catch your self wandering THINKING THINKING THINKING.
JUST HANG OUT WITH THE RHYTHM OF THE BREATH.
The breath is like a swing.
It comes like a swing touching all things.
All life all space all being is in you.
Listen to the silence.
Listen to the joy of the breath.
Listen deeply inside of you.
If you are caught on a thought just let go on an out breath out into space.
Keep breathing in and out so very gentle.
Now do you have a heart prayer you can say simply to yourself.
How about a prayer of Gratitude as you return to the center where there is no division between heaven and earth.
Ask to be forgiven your mistakes and they will be taken.
Let go of what you have done or not done.
Become present and awake.
You are the mystery you are song of songs.
May your hearts be full all this day.
This is my Prayer and my Puja.
I love you all so very much.
Love Ma
