Raylene Reporting From Paris

Our friend Keiko in Tokyo asked Raylene to write a monthly report from Paris to maintain the connection alive. After reading it I thought it fit perfectly into this blog.

So, the report below is a hello from Raylene to our friends and all the people we have grown to love ... in Tokyo and wherever we have met.



Reporting from Paris

By Raylene Abbott

The Goddess is alive and well and living in Paris. You can see her image gracing the Parisian gardens all the way to the latest fashion show where she is walking down the runway.

Andreas and I have been very busy leading not only weekend workshops, but we have now started teaching two weekly classes: The Thursday class is about healing and creating inner transformation in your life. The Monday class is a Goddess Group which is a healing circle only for women. These classes take place in a big apartment on the 4th floor of a beautiful building with a great view of the Park of Luxembourg (Jardin de Luxembourg). The salon we do our classes in is an old-style Parisian apartment. It has soft rose pink walls and flowers on the ceiling.

Since we have been here for one month now we are witnessing the transformation that is taking place in people’s lives. Several of the people who have been attending our workshops regularly are now becoming healers themselves and are working alongside us in the hands-on-healing sessions.

One of the high points we have had in our groups was working with the Lakshmi Mantra “Om Gum Shreem Maha Lakshmiyei Svaha.” We realized that many people in our workshops wanted to manifest more abundance in their lives. So we created a circle of about 25 people and everyone placed their wallet in the center of the circle. I placed my new golden slippers next to a flower vase in the center. We all started to chant the mantra together. As we chanted the mantra faster and faster, I was moved by spirit to get up and dance around the altar. I then took the hands of two other women in the circle and we began to dance faster and faster around the altar as the chant became more powerful by the second. It was so immensely spirited that the whole group truly felt the Presence of Goddess Lakshmi. Right there as we danced at the altar I had a vision of Lakshmi, showering abundance upon everyone in the circle.

Create an altar in your home in the abundance corner. When you come in the front door, this would be the left back corner of the room. On the altar place objects that are symbols of abundance: a golden altar cloth, a basket of fresh fruits, gold or yellow color candles, and coins, jewels or sparkle stones. Be sure to keep the flowers and fruits fresh on your altar at all times. Then repeat the Lakshmi mantra for 3 months, at the very least 108 times per day. Usually I practice it about 300 times per day.

Keep your altar tended daily and watch the Goddess come into your life with unexpected blessings.
