Meditation Plate Share

This is a very personal share that perhaps can be understood by many without even mentioning.  In any case I felt inspired as I am taking a Tantra Course and one of the first lectures elaborates on the need to have a meditation space and 5 items as an offering for the deities that one is guiding their thoughts to!  
The suggested practice includes, water, candles, flowers, sandal paste, incense & fruit. 
I believe it is acceptable practice to amplify the focus by including additional items that augement a strong emotional centering.  Therefore on my plate I have added 2 Buddha's with the corresponding coins which are customary, plus the cup with the water has a faded but raised lettering of the number "13" which has always been a positive numeration for me.  Then there is the very first shoe my son wore, a photo of skateboarding and a photo of Yoginanda a person whom I highly respect and is author of  "Autobiography of a Yogi".   This blog entry is just here to plant the idea to whomever reads it that maybe you wish to include other items that can stimulate and focus your meditational journeys.
Namaste,
Michael Sands

Why I Love YouTube :-) A few Positive Ideas About Social Media

See LiveStream or On-Demand on YouTube of course !  @michaelsandsyoga7809 Recently someone made a comment to me that becoming famous or monetizing a YouTube channel is like winning the lottery!! I concur with this opinion BUT all the same see I the REAL REWARD is available NOW to everyone with an internet connection and way better than any Financial Gain!!  What are the 2 HUGE Gifts Social Media has given us for FREE? Digital Legacy - Memories, Photos, Events can be passed down by family generations to share the progress and the evolutions of our daily life before we become titled as "ancestors" ;-) Knowledge Transfer - We can leave informative takes on life, wisdom and even specific work or recreation "how to guides" to our descendants and future fellow humans on this planet!  Maybe we even share experiences that can give the next generation an evolutionary jump forwards whilst avoiding a repetition of any missteps!

Music and mantras are an integrated part of Yogic Practices as they can assist in activating and enegizing the Prana in one's body!  I have been experimenting with a specific playlist of EDM music and applying a specific song for each Chakra!  The internal journey and experience has been very positive!!
