爪拉（二）

爪拉是需要有空間來讓它抵達進入的。爪拉被那種昂揚與清潔的環境—甚可說是優雅而一塵不染的環境所吸引。這樣的環境是和諧的，離於混亂，並已蒙受關注，其間具有一種新鮮感與空間感。如果我們提昇和培養一己的環境，就是在邀請爪拉的能量進入其中。你可以住在樹林中的單間小木屋、或是一幢豪宅—這都無所謂，但只要是你所居住之處，就可以盡心照顧它。你可以保持它的乾淨、整潔，也許還用鮮花來裝飾它，彷彿要歡迎貴客來臨。你可以在家中創造出特別的空間—或許是一個特殊的房間，或只是你公寓裡的一個小角落，你可以於其中擺設插花、書法、或繪畫，這可以是你修行的神聖之地。如果你關照那處所，僅是去那裡便可創造一種空隙感，第一念，並且為你的日常生活帶來新鮮氣息。

Dralas need space to arrive into. The dralas are attracted to an environment that is uplifted and clean—you could even say elegant—and spotless. Such an environment is harmonious, free from confusion, and has had care and attention put into it. There’s a feeling of freshness and space. If we refine and cultivate our environment, we invite drala energy into it. You can have a one-room cabin in the woods or a mansion—it doesn’t matter—but wherever you live, you can take care of it. You can keep it clean and uncluttered, maybe adorn it with fresh flowers, as if to welcome an honored guest. You could create a special space in your home—a special room or simply a small corner of your apartment. You could place a flower arrangement there and a calligraphy or picture. This can be your sacred place to practice in. If you take care of that place, simply going there can create a feeling of gap, first thought, and bring freshness into your daily life.
