Padma Dakini is reigning high in the skies as today is the longest day of the year! Today is the first official day of summer, though Padma Dakini has been showing us her force in the warmth that brings about Vajra Dakini in the humidity, the green leaves and new life blossoming of Ratna Dakini, the much needed cooling winds of Karma Dakini, and in all that Padma Dakini creates vast space for Buddha Dakini that surrounds us all!
In the meditation PADMA-FIRE DAKINI: Fierce Lady who Transforms Desire, "Now, begin radiating heat out into the world by closing the lower gate and radiating radiating the heat of your love and compassion like a sunbeam. Notice the bliss that arises in the body. A pleasant sensation may arise. Allow it to spread all over the body and out to the world. Feel that with your entire body and world are suffused with your love and wisdom fire. Then, gather the heat back to your body, to your navel center and to your heart center. Eventually, let it dissolve into the clear light of emptiness and great bliss. Then rest without any reverence point." (pages 339-340, Volume II of the Heart of Cho: DAKINI JOURNEY in the Contemporary World)
