Offering of Extended Self

Offering of Extended Self

“The rite CAN be done with just energy, but I grew this rite out of my Tarpanam practice that I do for my ancestors, and so I continue to use white rice, black sesame seeds, a coin, and water. Some use Durba Grass, Sandalwood, and other materials as well, but I keep it simple. Simply take the offering items in your right hand, and pour water over them with your left hand. Pour more water for each of the classes that we list below. I do this in the bathroom each morning over the sink. If you want to do it at your altar you can, but it is not necessary.”

~Jason Miller

At the end of the ritual you can take the coin and place it somewhere that it can be re-used, and clean the rice and seed from your hands. If you are doing only energy work, then you can simply end with an appropriate mudra.


CONDENSING THE RITE

If you wish to make the rite even shorter, you can do one offering for all the categories and simply list them in the prayer all together:

I INVITE YOU TAKE THIS OFFERING OF ENERGY, SUSTENANCE, AND WEALTH
ANCESTORS ON MY MOTHERS SIDE
ANCESTORS ON MY FATHERS SIDE
SELVES OF PAST INCARNATIONS
SELVES OF FUTURE INCARNATIONS
SELVES OF ALTERNATE CHOICES A
ND THE NOBLE AND PERFECTED SELF
YOU FORM, GUIDE, AND IMPACT MY BEING
THROUGHOUT ETERNITY
BE ENERGIZED, SUSTAINED, HEALED, AND AT PEACE
REMEMBER ME AND BLESS ME IN THIS TIME AND PLACE.


If you don’t want to even do that you can simply call to mind all these at once and make the offerings with a simple statement like

I INVITE YOU TAKE THIS OFFERING OF ENERGY, SUSTENANCE, AND WEALTH BE ENERGIZED, SUSTAINED, HEALED, AND AT PEACE REMEMBER ME AND BLESS ME IN THIS TIME AND PLACE.

I would recommend only using these shorter versions after you have mastered the longer version, which is really not that long all things considered.
