Spiritual practice

Have you ever been to an orchestral concert?
Before playing a note of the program, the whole orchestra pauses. The first violin plays a note . . . and everyone tunes their instrument to that note. They know that the beauty of the performance depends on getting in tune before they begin.
It’s the same for your meditation practice.

Taking time to tune your instrument – mind/body – deepens your practice.
There are many ways to tune your mind/body instrument before beginning the formal meditation practice: yoga, sacred reading, breath work, prayer . . . and most powerfully Invocation.

The Wisdom Heart Invocation tunes your consciousness to the sacred.
Devi has recorded a short video teaching and demonstrating the Wisdom Heart Invocation. Watch it. Learn it. Adapt it. Practice it.
And enjoy being in tune with the sacred.

They’ve told me that riding a big, glassy, perfectly curling wave is a blissful combination of total stillness and constant movement. Where stillness & movement meet . . . is bliss. [...]

Thank you for the emails and feedback from the first article in this series on Universal Tension. (It you haven’t read that one – you can find it here.)
