Karma Yoga Empowers Personal Creativity

In my travels, I have personally talked with many spiritual leaders who have emphasized the importance of karma yoga: that is, doing constructive work with maximal awareness. Whatever their individual belief systems or doctrinal alignments, virtually all were in agreement that humans were not machines and thus should not be content to accomplish goals as unconscious, unfeeling automatons. They also believed that being open, awake, and vibrantly involved in work influenced others to do the same, ultimately contributing to a better, more humane world. This yogic approach to work pays enormous subjective dividends, too, although no quantitative measure can be applied to such benefits. Specifically, it allows your intuition access to profound levels of understanding, both objective and subjective. In short, karma yoga enables the manifestation of hitherto undreamed-of creative abilities.

Karma Yoga Opens Channels Of Metaphysical Awareness

The other day I received a brief note from a putative correspondent who chided me for referring to the everyday reality of the metaphysical. Convinced that only what could be physically weighed or measured exists, he resented the fact that others might find much more to celebrate in life. To his dismay, I disagreed, although I could cite no algorithm or materialist dogma to support my position. Rather, I must rely on the solidity of personal work experience, of my first-hand observations of karma yoga. In particular, I am reminded of the keen observations of so many wise luminaries noted above whenever I see how Lucky Six Farms processes their White Sage Products. For example, those responsible for the distillation of our essential oils must exercise as much discretion and care in the practice of their art as any serious painter or writer. Ceaseless monitoring of every variable is required for the living, delicately aromatic core of the White Sage to be successfully concentrated and then preserved.

Karma Yoga Can Be Tested

Karma yoga produces tangible benefits. Those who use Lucky Six Farms White Sage essential oil become a natural extension of this focused, loving process. Indeed, I firmly believe the underlying mindfulness that generates our products powerfully influences all those touched by them to expand their senses, psyches, and understanding. Test my idea for yourself!

Walk on the Grounds

Confidence In The Earth

Each morning as I touch the soil, my confidence in our planet's holistic healing power increases. Every day I walk the grounds of Lucky Six Farms, marveling at its expansive, organic White Sage gardens. I especially enjoy working directly with White Sage and contemplating its venerable power. It is a privilege to maintain a personal relationship with its remarkably cleansing, energizing, and uplifting spirit. Such feelings reflect more than superficial sentiment. I believe our California White sage offers a truly unique array of useful gifts to those seeking paths of authentic betterment today. In particular, for those lacking confidence in themselves, their society, or their world, the White Sage provides a unique remedy.

White Sage Rewards Our Confidence

Virtually all societies acknowledge the vital role played by plants; this is especially true in communities where profound, earth-centered traditions have long been maintained. But no matter what our personal beliefs may be, plants proactively support our lives: our physical, intellectual, energetic, and even spiritual states are closely tied to the living plant life around us - so much so, in fact, that too many inadvertently take that wondrous bounty for granted. The confidence we place in the Earth as our home, our primordial support is most directly evinced through our trust in the plant life that serves us. Nowhere is this better illustrated then in the ancient respect indigenous peoples had for the plant we today call the California White Sage.

Confidence Is Rooted In The Plant Spirit

Native communities, in particular, viewed their daily relationship with White Sage as particularly vital. Through it, even stubborn negative energies could be cleared away in a relatively brief period. It was understood that White Sage was consistently allied with the community's highest and best goals, as the beneficial Sage Spirit worked to open each individual's heart energy to abundant flow. And abundant energy translates into self confidence. Nothing of this has changed over the centuries. Thus, White Sage can, even now, be an important adjunct to our heart's most authentic expression. No wonder this remarkable plant spirit has been sincerely venerated by so many for so long!
