Dear Lynda
Thank you for your visit.
Likhi...Hari OM<br />Dear Lynda<br />Thank you for your visit.<br />Likhiita jaapa (I double the letters in transliteration so that unfamiliar readers can pronounce more correctly) is a wonderfully stilling and centring practice to start or end a day. You can read a full discussion and see examples <a href="https://www.chinmayamissionmumbai.com/chinmaya/42chinmayasadhanas/sadhana_13_likhita_japa" rel="nofollow"><b>HERE</b></a>... additionally, there are some <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=likhita+japa&safe=active&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiK1qyKtrfaAhVLGsAKHcTpBPsQsAQIRA" rel="nofollow"><b>wonderful images</b></a> of advanced likhiita to be found. Of course, Devanagari script lends itself to such, but there is no reason why one cannot use a word in English and create it beautifully. You could 'knit' the letters (ahem &*> yes I've been reading you!)

I am intrigued by the practice of likhiita jaapa and am going to investigate it further. <br />My writing has taken a backseat to other things during the last year. I choose to do this challenge each year to reign me back into writing. I love to write for so many reasons and miss it when I am away from it. lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874342578431143001.post-10927844284194084952018-04-13T18:52:45.952+05:302018-04-13T18:52:45.952+05:30Likhita japa is very familiar - many family member...Likhita japa is very familiar - many family members used this practice.

Yes, we have experience and general guides as to what will work for the majority, but there will always be a variance in the receipt what is said or seen. I know that you discovered this for yourself... it is always regrettable, though, when it is someone close who 'takes the strunts' (one of my granny's favourite phrases for a foot-stamper!). What is at play is the role of karma, praarabdha as well as any immediate experience in direct relationship to the subject being reacted to. Sometimes those reactions can leave the writer/speaker baffled...

You are so right about verbal communication being easier than the written version at times - I wrote a post in May last year about how I felt about Mothers Day - my daughter completely misinterpreted it - took it as a judgement and read so much into it that hadn't crossed my mind. She cut off communication for months and it was a long, slow process back to relationship again - a very valuable lesson learned - you never know how other people will interpret what you write and whether they'll choose to be offended!<br /><br />Leanne | www.crestingthehill.com.au<br />L for Love Yourself<br />Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874342578431143001.post-48497545148168667072018-04-13T06:29:48.827+05:302018-04-13T06:29:48.827+05:30Hari OM

My skills are in writing what comes right out of my mind and not always with the best organization. Madi is my muse and we all know there is a party in my head.
