________________________________________________
Ganesha
is one of the most well known and beloved Hindu Deities.
He is often described as the
God of Beginnings & Remover of Obstacles
When I think of Ganesha,
I also think of playfulness, wisdom, balance, and steadiness.
When you are setting goals or seeking wisdom as you pursue them
—you can call upon Ganesha as your guide.

How to prepare for Metta Practice at home…
- Set aside uninterrupted time to focus on this metta practice and your self-healing.
- Allow enough time to settle in before practice begins.
- Have water or tea available for yourself.
- Choose an environment that is pleasant and comfortable to be in and has an area to sit and lie down—with blanket, eye pillow/cloth, yoga mat, floor cushions, a chair that reclines, or couch…whatever works for you.
- Set up a small table/alter or specific area where you can focus on spiritual object(s) meaningful to you.
- Include a statue or picture of Ganesha, if you have one.
- If you like, light a candle.
You can also use a small amount of incense, or diffuse some essential oil prior to our practice. - Don’t take notes—allow yourself to receive information through all your senses.
(There will be a recording to refer to, if you want to review anything later.)
