The sight and the wonderful smell of a Homa fire is now increasingly familiar to many across the globe, as people search for natural ways to relieve stress and to diminish pollution. Homa is a Vedic science of purifying and nourishing the atmosphere through the agency of fire, prepared specifically in a small inverted copper pyramid. The most basic of all Homa fires is called Agnihotra which is performed daily at sunrise and sunset. This small fire injects nutrients into the atmosphere. It eases the mind and makes it full of love. Adults, young people and the children especially, can all feel its peaceful vibration. Homa is a scientific practice that is performed indoors or outside, by anyone, regardless of religious or cultural beliefs. It is a simple practice that benefits everyone in proximity, as well as the air, the water, soil and nearby animals.
Maria Broom begins her workshops and classes with Homa. Its sweet fragrance and calming vibration has been a 30 year trademark that makes her sessions unique and therapeutic. She is a longtime member of the Baltimore Homa Community and of the worldwide network of Homa therapists who practice and teach Agnihotra. She performs Homa fire every day in her home or wherever she is when she travels.
