Wealth is an inside job
This ceremony is about knowing your wealth. What is wealth for you? How do you feel it and see it and acknowledge its presence in any given moment?
Written into the back-story of our relationship to wealth are unquestioned core beliefs that circumnavigate our core sense of 'enough'. The neuro wiring of will I have enough? has a tap root into the nervous system of 'am I enough?' (and so we play small) or conversely, 'am I too much?' (and therefore need to diminish myself).
Wealth is a flow or currency of gratitude and enough-ness. One of my favourite Sanskrit words is Santosha - a kind of divine contentment - where the pulling and longing of 'more' is quietened and the bodymind is unconditionally satiated.
Wealth is the knowing that there is nothing that can be added or subtracted in order to bring us happiness, or ease, or aliveness... whatever quality that seeks expression through us comes from an abundant ever-present field. This is the divine emanation of Lakshmi, in whose presence, good fortune and prosperity is bestowed. Imagine that. Living effortlessly in this field of generosity!
The sages tell us we do already live in this field. So what is getting in our way of feeling and knowing this for our Self?
The Hungry Ghost of More. The restless spirits. The consumptive culture. Our personal and collective Hungry Ghosts have an insatiable hunger, a constant yearning for something beyond reach, and when we don't have it (whatever it is) we feel poor.
Put it in the fire!
That's the code of this ceremony. We burn our sense of lack and scarcity and we turn towards the field of fortune and prosperity. Celebrating what's here, now, and growing that from the inside. Lakshmi is pointing to wealth as an inside job.

The Power of Ritual: Amplifying Intentions with Cacao, Fire, Mantra, and Meditation
Using the heart opening technologies of Cacao, Mantra, Fire Havan & Kirtan to clarify our intention and bring it forth into the world
In these power-filled ceremonies, we create space to get clear on our personal and collective intention; and then we amplify this by opening our heart with the aid of the cacao elixir, purifying our mind with the fire havan and sacred mantra, and shifting into heart-mind coherence using the practice of kirtan and meditation. It's quite the formula!
We offer invocations to welcome, or call upon that particular aspect of divinity within our Self and within the cosmos. As above, so below; what is within the whole is within us also.
