After the meditation was over I ate a few crackers and some
orange slices and then set the remainder of it on a small plate outside. According to Buddhist beliefs, the food is
for the deities that you call to your meditation. In Native American terms it
would be for the spirit guides, and while I know the birds will eat it, the
birds are also messengers to the spirits, so in a sense I am feeding the
spirits, including my own.
Today I will try and find a couple of small storage boxes to
keep some of my meditation supplies, so they are not stuffed into the small
drawer of the desk. It will also keep them protected in case there are mice in
the house – cannot have them chewing on my meditation and prayer items! I need more candles as well, in different
colors for the seasons, and a black candle for a purification ritual.
