Live your days spiritually
A spiritual day begins with conscious morning practices. Upon waking, affirm your humanity, recognizing this identity prevents harm. Honor both your biological mother and the Earth Mother. Touch water to connect with prāṇa, the life force. Then approach your altar for worship. Respect all beings in your home, including animals. Before leaving, bid farewell to your parents, maintaining that connection. Proceed through your day with awareness and helpfulness, returning home happy. This daily sādhanā cultivates a blossoming life.
"Upon waking, our eyes open, and we say, 'I am human.'"
"First is our mother, who gave us birth. And first, we have touched our mother, and that mother is the earth."
