Yeah right...the intent is what is important in the worship.
For me it builded up during the day. After the cleaning while listening to Lakshmi mantras, and offering the cleaning to her, I placed more flowers to her.
Then taking a walk to town to meet my youngest son and seeing a movie.
On the way I had my pocket full of money coins. So on the way beggars got coins in their begging cups....while thinking of Lakshmi and repeating her mantra '
Shrim'.
The fruit of practice whas felt quite noticeable in the evening, while sitting in front of the altar and doing a little meditation......
The tantric deity meditation was done. Visualising Ma Lakshmi in front of me.....saying mantras to her....then imagining her being blended into my energy into my heart...feeling her inside me....
A clearly felt blissful energy was felt within in a rather powerful way. Lots of love and bliss. Lakshmi's signum
Thanks for sharing about your practice.....
