| Resources on Spiritual Practices | | |  |  |  | Homa - The Ancient fire ritual Homas are powerful ancient fire rituals that have been performed in India by the Vedic sages for over 5000 years. Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita quotes, "This creation is a yagna". Yagna also means sacrifice and by this he meant that creation is an eternal flow of birth and death; it is a sacrifice where one’s death gives way for the birth of another, continuously, something gets sacrificed for something to arise. This is how the Vedas interpret the creation and in the purview of the Vedas, the homa is but a miniature model of this Universal Sacrifice.
A homa can help you to get well, have good relationships, find a partner, have children and it may even remove bad karma or negative aspects in a horoscope or with Vastu. Read more About different Homas and their purpose.
Fire constitutes the basis of the homa, but apart from that the procedure and ingredients are quite different, all depending on the purpose. During a homa, various rituals are performed successively in order to activate various energies and to also develop the right emotion to perform the homa. Some of these rituals are common and must be observed before every homa. Read more about The different steps in a Homa and their significance.
At The Oneness Festival you are invited to participate in several different homas during the festival which is included in the festival fee.

Interpretation - Wind
Wind - To dream of the wind blowing softly and sadly upon you, signifies that great fortune will come to you through bereavement.
- If you hear the wind soughing, denotes that you will wander in estrangement from one whose life is empty without you.
- To walk briskly against a brisk wind, foretells that you will courageously resist temptation and pursue fortune with a determination not easily put aside. For the wind to blow you along against your wishes, portends failure in business undertakings and disappointments in love. If the wind blows you in the direction you wish to go you will find unexpected and helpful allies, or that you have natural advantages over a rival or competitor.

OTHER RELEVANT RESOURCES | |  |  |  | | Ayurveda
The science of Ayurveda, like the science of Yoga, was inspired and developed by the great masters and seers of ancient India. The origin of Ayurveda and Yoga are common to play a highly complimentary role in spiritual evolution and the maintenance of physical well-being and vitality.
Ayurveda is, perhaps, the oldest science of life, a system of diet, healing and health maintenance that is deeply spiritual in origin. Unlike traditional Western medicine, Ayurveda is not confined to healing of disease in a superficial treatment of symptoms. Instead, it evaluates the complete body mind of the individual.

Through us, the Earth opens her portals, her points of power, to give of her own energies, to receive of the Light. The Cosmos itself receives and is blessed and gives more.

| | | |  |  |  | | Spiritual Dance Spiritual dancing is a cross cultural phenomenon, a testament to its power and authenticity. Cultures from every continent on this planet simultaneously embraced unique dance forms. Purpose in dancing is to `enter the consciousness' or `become the spirit'.

Trance dance, an ancient shamanic practice, is a healing vehicle through which people can commune with their Spirit.
Dance could be seen as a moving prayer and a doorway to the soul or `spirit within' and if you dance into the state of ecstatic trance you will connect completely to the healing powers of Holy Spirit.
"To the universe belongs the dancer, who ever does not dance does not know what happens."

For when we are sick, our attention is seldom free enough to contemplate the larger reality, or to muster the energy for practice.
The masters of yoga also teach us that personal growth is possible only when we fully accept our embodiment and when we truly understand that the body is not merely skin and bones but a finely balanced system of energies. Read more here: » Yoga |
