San Martin Caballero - Meditation

If you live in part of the country that has a Hispanic section of your supermarket - go there are select The San Martin Caballero Candle. San Martin Caballero is the patron sait of health, work and money.

Burn this candle in the morning or evening on your altar for these things or as a way to augment your work towards your goals. While the candle is burning imagine you have the job and/or income you want.

[NOTE - You must be apply and/or looking for work in the world as well as the meditation above. Staing the obvious perhaps...]

Removing Obstacles - The Calming Heart Sutra

"Sutra" is a Sanskrit word meaning a principle teaching of the Vedic knowledge. In other words, a sutra = a prayer

First, sit calmly and intend that your heart and mind grow calm and peaceful and that you fully connect with your own intrinsic unity with the Divine Mind (The Universe, God, your Higher Power...). It is also appropriate to express out loud this intention as well as adding any other intention that matches your situation. For example:

  • I have loving kindness towards others. (In response to feeling hurt and anger.)
  • I feel well. (In response to having the flu.)
  • I have plenty of money to buy gas for my car. (In response to feeling lack about rising gas prices.)
Next, place your left hand on top of your right hand, palms up, thumbs touching in front of your chest as if you are cradling your heart center. This is called a mudra, which means "hand gesture" and is important for reinforcing the intention.

Chant the following mantra 9 times:
"Gate Gate Para-gate Para Sam Gate Bodhi Svaha"


Phonetic pronunciation: Gah-tay Gah-tay, Pah-rah-Gah-tay, Pah-rah Sahm Gah-tay, Bo-Dee Svah Hah


Translation from Sanskrit: Gate means "gone". Paragate means "gone across". Para sam gate means "completely gone across". Bodhi means "the enlightened state". Svah means "it is accomplished".


The Meaning of the Meditation is: Gone, gone, gone across, completely gone across the enlightened state. It is accomplished, I recognize this truth in myself.

It is important to sing the Calming Heart Sutra nine times. If you wish to continue, be sure to repeat it in sets of nine for maximum effect.

Gratefulness and Tithing etc.

Part of prosperity is being thankful to what we already have. I heard Guru Mai speak about gratefulness once and she spoke about being thankful for the good things the blessings as well as the irritations.

"They've paved paradise and put up a parking-lot."
Joni Mitchell "Big Yellow Taxi"

It seems that we really don't know what we have until its gone. Remember a planet is a terrible thing to waste.

Let's take stock in our breath for instance. It moves in and out of my body without me having to think and/or direct it.

We often take for granted what exists. We may not be grateful for our good health until we have a crisis in health. The reason is the desire of ego to keep the illusion of sameness in a world gone wild with change.
Look at the experiences and the forces that you and your significant others have built and maintained in your life. Design a gratefulness ritual for this.

Consider tithing to a cause you feel passionate about--social justice, reducing greenhouse gases (off-setting your carbon footprint), or something closer such as services you receive without charge, or a special savings account for a young person you know, or...

Remember we are all in "it" together.

The Planet is worth saving - ride a bike, telecommute, salute a political candidate that inspires you, tithe.

A Tithe is commonly one-tenth or a small token in service to what calls or supports you. Tithe or donate - you'll feel part of a bigger community.

A New Way to Increase Funds (Checkbook...)

The following is through a check register or other bank account that you're withdrawing money on. Every time you write a check or pay a bill or use your atm/debit card:

This amount "_______" is returning to me a thousand-fold in 30 days...

Editor's Note

Hello,

If you have a prosperity ritual to pass on I'd be happy to re-print it here with or without credit.

I have more rituals for here that I will post as time allows.

A Money Flow Incantation

A woman - speech pathologist from Boliva told me this charm for creating money flow.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

  1. A glass jar with a cork stopper big enough to fit a quarter. (I found a good source for glass jars is Pier One Imports)
  2. You'll need corn - as in unpopped pop-corn - yellow more of this than the other spices.
  3. Ground and cinnamon sticks - much of this for sweetness
  4. Sprinkles of oregano, sage & thyme
  5. a penny, a nickel, a dime and a quarter
  6. A small piece of paper that you can put under the jar after you write on it.

ON THE PAPER WRITE:
Spice and Silver
Copper and Grain
Work to Increase
My Money's Gain

When you feel you wish to increase your money's flow shake the bottle with the above 2-5 ingredients in the bottle and say the poem as a chant on paper. Store this bottle with the paper underneath on your altar.

A Full Moon Ritual

Alverto Taxo, an indigenous teacher and healer from Ecuador,suggested this full moon ritual:

At 9 pm go out and look up at the Moon. If it is cloudy look at the brightest spot in the clouds. Give the full moon anger, fears and any emotions positive or negative that stand in the way of gratitude and your dreams coming true.

"Then to give to it (the full moon) all of our anger, fears, concerns - anything that stands in the way of this gratitude... anything that stands in the way of imagining your dreams coming true. He said the moon feeds on this energy and in doing so transforms it to something positive. And he said that if we were to give all of our negativity to the moon we would discover something new within us."

NOTE: The full moon may look full for two nights.
If the time of the Full Moon occurs between midnight and sunrise the ritual may be done the night before or the night after.
If the time of the Full Moon occurs between sunrise and sunset the ritual may be done the night after the daytime time of the Full Moon.

The Next Full Moon is
12/12 at 8:37 am PST

The Checkbook Balance Intention

Write in your checkbook a balance you would like to manifest.

Let's say you want a balance of $500,000.

Write that out as a balance in the bottom below the last window of your checkbook balance register.

This is more of a wish to set your aim on and could also be a goal.

I put $99,999.99 because nine is a number of completion

Of course you don't use this balance as sometime you deduct from, its target that you're holding open a space for greater sums to come to you.
