The
Tibetians of the Shambala tradition believe in a concept called Drala by which
any space can be made sacred. Drala is created by the reverence, purity and
faith within a space. When a person treats his office space with reverence and
keeps it clean and sparkling, he attracts Drala into that space. Drala makes
that space powerful and attractive. When he dresses carefully, speaks and acts
mindfully, he attracts personal Drala.
Many
are able to do this in their homes. Indian homes have beautiful white flower
patterns drawn at the entrance to attract Lakshmi, the Goddess of Good Fortune.
The atmosphere is further enhanced by the fragrance of incense and joss sticks.
Certain
sounds like that of mantras or the sound of bells, or wind chimes in a Chinese
home, are said to purify the field.
Steps
you can take to welcome Drala into your life
* Keep
your surroundings and living spaces clean.
*
Create beauty in your surroundings with flowers and crystals
* Let
music fill the space.
* Be
mindful of what passes your lips – food and words. Let both be fine and
healthy.
* Wash
away the dust and dirt, and wear fresh clothes.
* Enjoy
the present moment
