Get Ready for  a Transformation Practice

 

Are you ready for a transformation

It was in August or September 27 years ago when I
was sent to Caracas, Venezuela by my Master to
teach at the Ashram called Grace Essence
Fellowship (Gracia Esencia). At that time, I was
one of the senior instructors, and this assignment
was a real honor and a privilege that changed my
life forever.

There were around 50 people in the
meditation group. The teachings were based on a
few different traditions of the Tibetan Buddhist,
Taoist, and some Hinduism teachings from Shaivism.
Swami Rudrananda (Rudi) was a great influence, and
a majority of the practices came from his
teachings. Rudy taught an eclectic blend of
techniques he called “kundaliniyoga” (no formal
relation to the Indian tradition by that name). If
you aren’t familiar with Rudy’s teachings, pick up
a copy of his book, “Spiritual Cannibalism”. The
other school was based on the teachings of His
Holiness, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. He was a
Vajrayana master, scholar, poet, teacher, and head
of the Nyingma school. I was fortunate enough to
get his personal blessing in person on two
different occasions. The Dalai Lama regarded
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche as his principal teacher
in the Nyingma tradition and of Dzogchen.

Our community observed a six-day celebration
that started three days before?the Fall
Equinox and lasted for three days after. This
year, the Autumn Equinox starts on September 23rd.
Start your practice on the 20th and end it on the
26th. The six-day ritual is used to acknowledge
the six perfections: Generosity, Observance of the
Precepts, Perseverance, Effort, Meditation, and
Wisdom. There is a saying in the Orient: “A
person?needs all six before he goes from
this shore of

Samsara (the endless cycle of
suffering caused by birth, death, and
re-birth) to the further shore or Nirvana.” If you
haven’t heard of Nirvana, it is the place free
from suffering and of individual incredible
existence. The ritual includes repentance of past
sins and prayers for enlightenment in the next
life. It’s a time for the performance of positive
deeds, which are greater than those practiced at
any other time of the year, as well as for
making offerings to ancestors. These good
deeds become a great blessing enabling one
to reach the other shore.”The Autumnal
Equinoxes are the ideal times for reflecting on
the meaning of life. Ancestral practices aren’t
part of Western culture, but, when trying to shift
directions in my life and when things seem
impossible to accomplish, I focus my meditation on
my ancestors and call on them for help and
guidance to stay on the right path.

Autumn is here. The day and night are equal
in length right now, but soon, we will have
more darkness than light as winter arrives. In the
Chinese Five-Element system, it’s the
metal?element that’s most active, ruling the
lungs and?large intestine. You may notice
more colds, coughs, and skin disorders for a
few months. Emotionally speaking, this phase is
about letting go of grief, sadness, old
attachments, and emotional baggage. On the
positive side, the metal element brings
in?valor, courage, and a time to move
forward in life. That’s exactly what I am focusing
on, moving forward and getting things done.
I have increased my workout time, and I
am practicing both morning and evening for
the 6-day practice. The best times to train
are at sunrise and sunset.
