Four Elements Baby Blessing Ceremony from Tree of Life
inspirational motivational journey into alchemy_of_love consciousness and divine wisdom
It all started as a baby blessing ceremony of my two kindred spirits soul-friends. In the middle of the forest, where our camp-site hid, we were greeted by two chameleons mating and we were not dreaming!
We arrived at the campsite overlooking the gorgeous Mediterranean sea surrounded by the endless blue and they were immersed within their mating game. Swaying back and fourth they were dancing. The male extended his neck, lifted his front legs balancing skillfully and swayed on the branch in all possible direction. The male also changed colors making his body a living displays for his female. He was showing his strength, his beauty, his power and we were gathered silently observing the ritual. They did not mind us being there and they left after we finished our fascinated around the tree gathering.

Differences between Prayer and Meditation

Meditation and Christianity
meditation is more-or-less defined as a mental exercise of concentration and contemplation, by either focusing on a single thought (e.g. meditation repeating a mantra), or by following an intuitive imaginative flow that involves relaxing the body, and calming the river of thoughts, with an aim to enter deeper levels of consciousness.
For Mystical Christians meditation is a type of contemplative practice often known as prayer, induced by inspirational readings, and practiced with a form of visualization.
In both Eastern traditions and the Christian tradition the goal of contemplative practices is a closer intimacy with God, Christ, Buddha, Shiva consciousness, or a Guru.
The Mystical Christians would completely agree with the Yoga gurus of our present and past about the benefits of meditation.
St. Teresa of Avila and Meditation
St. Teresa of Avila a Christian Saint living during the 16th Century wrote about 4 stages towards God and her inspiring words of contemplation very much resemble the description of a Yogi that talks about meditation. She names the four stages to God as:
1. Contemplation and concentration
2. Prayer of quiet or SILENCE
3. Devotion of UNION or "ecstatic state of blissful peace"
4. Devotion of ECSTASY, where "the body Consciousness disappears".

Spiritual Meaning of Gold

Symbolism of Gold
"The golden rule of true occult science: For every one step that you take in the pursuit of higher knowledge, take three steps in the perfection of your own character."
Rudolf Steiner, Knowledge of the Higher Worlds
We constantly seek to materially, mentally and emotionally 'better' our-selves, our-family dynamics, and our society and within this journey we learn about the interconnections of all things, about short-lived happiness and long-term fulfillment, about the ways to treat our Mother Gaia and all the ones that share our little and wonderful planet with us: animals, plants, stones. We constantly learn how to live in harmony with ourselves and the world around us.
An Alchemist would tell you that all the beings contain in their inmost centre a precious grain of the elementary gold. The nature of man reflects the entire universe in miniature.
