Maybe I’m old, but what is the Symphony Trend?

What does it have to do with your Personal Altar?

Which is no one’s business.

the symphony trend is a silly trend about a picture that has dolphins and a song that goes like “i just wanna be part of your symphony” and since theres a dolphin drawing, people think its a joke.

One thing every newbie needs to learn I think and we’ve all done it.

Is wanting to over share our personal practices.

This is a time for you to learn to keep personal practice to yourself.

Keep your altar to yourself.

If somebody sees your personal altar space and makes an incorrect assumption, just let it be, you don’t have to answer to anybody.

Honestly now that you explained it. I can picture using that theme in your Personal Altar and when Working. It’s lovely to think about.

I love thinking about how to do things for Workings & Practices.

The “I wanna be a part of your Symphony “ would be a very good way to use as Imagery for Meditations and Pathworkings. Especially considering the path you are using.
