I love "Eclectic Recovery". I feel that sums up my life journey. I have always been an explorer of spirituality, taking bits and pieces here and there, embracing what feels good, leaving what doesn't behind. I am thankful, Frank, that you have opened me up to all the possibilities life has to offer. It has been an adventure with you, never boring!!!!!<BR/>Bevbutterfly womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252796466842620135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2929591748071063635.post-28186714534232497532008-11-19T11:41:00.000-06:002008-11-19T11:41:00.000-06:00I was curious about how "Om Namah Shivaya" transla...I was curious about how "Om Namah Shivaya" translated, so I did what I usually do in such instances it: I googled it. The translation came up on a site called "Eclectic Recovery." "Interesting..." I thought to myself. The phrase is actually part of a longer prayer used at the beginning of a yoga class. I don't recall what type of yoga. The translation given at this site was "I offer myself to the Lord Shiva, the Auspicious One, who is the true teacher Within and Without." Isn't it interesting that they got this from that one small phrase. True, they included four words in the phrase, adding "Gurave" at the end, which I believe must be the word for "Lord."<BR/><BR/>Anyway, this Lord Shiva reminds me of the Holy Spirit in our Christian tradition--the source of wisdom and understanding. Sometimes Western spirituality leaves me cold, so maybe I should give meditation one more shot. I tried it once. When miracles didn't seem to occur, I gave up on it. But maybe I'm in a better frame of mind right now. I view miracles differently than I did then. It couldn't hurt and might actually be good for me, whatever that means?Soulsearcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594638230147775665noreply@blogger.com
