Goddess Divination: What is Awakened? What is the Illusion? What is the Action? What is Learned?

	Vila Goddess of Transformation
	Vila comes into your life to teach you to nourish wholeness by embracing flexibility and change.
Have you been too long in one form? Are you feeling rigid and stale, losing flexibility in your ways of thinking and being?   It is time to expand your awareness, to enhance your flexibility by gaining the perspective of other forms. It is time to move beyond basic human issues to merge with elements of nature.   When was the last time you experienced the rocks, trees, animals and mother earth as equal forms. When did you last gaze into the beauty of a flower, or connect with the mood of an art form? What have you always wished to experience but dared not?   Vila says the way to wholeness lies in experiencing the whole of creation in finite detail.
Suggested Ritual
Go to a quiet, warm place where you will not be disturbed for between 15-30 minutes. Play soft music if available. Sitting with your spine erect take twenty deep calming breaths. Close your eyes and mentally scan your body from the toes to head. Ask yourself "What am I feeling?", "What am I thinking?" Breath into any tensions, tightness or pain until completely relaxed then choose an image, color or word as a Mantra to focus upon during this meditation. Keep your minds eye fixed upon your choice of Mantra and should any other thoughts appear, see them float as a bubble gently out of your mind. Stay with this meditation until you are totally relaxed and centered.
