“Do not worry about anything. There is a divine arc in motion. All will make sense in hindsight.”
— The Guides speaking as one
Our spiritual practice is always an internal one, no matter how many people we are accustomed to practicing with. Your relationship with your Higher Soul, with your Ancestors, with your Guides, and with God is your innermost dialogue that you always have with you.
Like so many of you, aspects of my spiritual practice have needed to evolve with the current global health parameters. Usually, I go to the Self Realization Fellowship Temples, founded by Paramahansa Yogananda, 1 - 2 times per week to be in divine communion with the saints in such a beautifully supportive environment, and to worship with fellow devotees. With the Temple locations temporarily closed, my daily practice at home continues with prayer, meditation, and my mantra from Amma, the Hugging Saint.
While taking care of my family, I was blessed to be able to share in a meditation and prayer session in my stepmom’s Buddha Temple that she created at home. Through her daily chanting practice, she has memorized books and books of Buddhist sutras. During the 40 minutes while she was chanting them in a cadence of beautiful melodic devotion, I had my own Akashic Records open and was in communion with my Guides.
It was there while I was surrounded by a dozen portraits of multiple generations of ancestors from both the maternal and paternal branches of our family, that I felt their love and Qi flowing through me as it does when I am in Temple at Self Realization Fellowship and asking for Yogananda’s blessings, or when I am at home reading his direct writings.
The love and devotion from our ancestors is always flowing harmoniously with the love and protection of the saints. Our ancestors are sharing their love, wisdom, and compassion with us every moment of every day. Ask for their help. Receive it into your heart and entire being. Know you are supported at all times, no matter the external circumstances.
I send love, light, and healing to you all with everything that is in me, and all of the love and support of my ancestors.
Love,
Leah
