Meditation is when you listen to God.

For Our Daily Challenge topic - ' My Routine.' Before my silent meditation I chant my mala beads. I softly say five chants, 108 times each (once for each bead) The chants are in ancient Pali . 1. for Compassion 2. for purification & protection 3. for grace, removal of fear and anxiety and obstacles 4. for strong, balanced healthy body 5. added for this time of covid virus, a very strong protection and healing. All of these prayers are for all beings everywhere, for the end of suffering. Wiki kitty is usually right beside me or in my lap during this part of the morning - but today she did not like the tripod at went outside.

As a part of the 2010 redevelopment of the Museum of the Order of St John, the Cloister Garden was re-landscaped and planted with medicinal plants and herbs to reflect the work of the Knights Hospitaller and to call to mind the former gardens of the medieval Clerkenwell Priory.
A contemplative green space, an oasis of calm in central London, this garden is full of interest – both horticultural and historical. Highlights of the garden include towering cardoons, beautiful scents, architecture ancient and modern, and fascinating connections to the past.

A Young Man Prepares For Prayer While Wearing Tefillin

The Meaning of Tefillin
Mitzvahs are commandments, but the word mitzvah also comes from the root tzavta, which means “connection.” A mitzvah creates a bond between G‑d who commands and man who performs. In a sense, that makes tefillin the ultimate mitzvah. We’re commanded to literally bind ourselves to the one and only G‑d.
At the Sergievo Posad Trinity Lavra monastery.
The monastery saw its 700th anniversary in mid-July 2014. While many fair-weather visitors flocked to do the obligatory bow and bottle several gallons of holy water, some attendees appeared to be more regular.
Established by St. Sergius of Radonezh, the monastery forms the core of Sergiev Posad and is most often a Russian tourist's only destination in the town. Of the 8-13 cities and towns in Russia's Golden Circle - the cultural and political capitals of medieval Russia that emerge today as church-laden industrial suburbs - Sergiev Posad is the closest to Moscow.
My mom treated me to an amazing prayer flag making workshop up at Idyllwild Arts campus, taught by visiting artist Karen Michele. It was a beautiful July day of creating under the pines...a deer even stopped by for a visit (too bad I missed her)!
The theme was Tibetan inspired with the thought being that the wind will carry the intentions of the writings or imagery on the flags out into the world to benefit all living beings. In Tibetan culture, there are 5 flags, each with its own color/element. The parenthesis are my own wishes/intentions inspired by the element:
BLUE = SPACE (happiness)
WHITE = AIR (silliness)
RED = FIRE (transformation)
GREEN = WATER (compassion/peace)
YELLOW = EARTH (grounded/our roots)
I will be hanging these outside to fulfill their true purpose!
