also a means to
train the body to sit in the meditative for long hours. It is easier to engage the mind

than internally, hence poojas are suggested for the beginners to start with and as they gain the
mastery over the mind, it becomes easier to sit in meditation without being distracted by the
mind.

Trishakthi Agni Upasana: Om Agnimeelae puro hitham yajnasya deva amrith dwijam hothaaram ratna dathamam. I pray to the omnipresent Agni, who fulfils the wishes of all societies, who carries the amritham to devas from the rituals of worship, who is ever willing to bless with uninterrupted abundance.
First and foremost of all vedas, The Rig Veda starts with praises to Agni, such is the importance attributed to Agni during the age of vedas. Agni is one of the boothas of pancha bootha. Unlike rest of the four elements, fire cannot be inflicted with impurities. Akasha (Space) can be spoilt with impurities, so is the Vayu (Air), Jalam (Water), Prithvi (Earth).
The outstanding quality of the Fire is that even if it consumes impurity it is not afflicted by impurity so is the impurity that is consumed by Agni. Both remain pure post consumption. Hence Rishis paid more importance to Agni and proclaimed so in the vedic verse. Kriyas performed on agni has the potency to clear away most stubborn negativities.
As I understand, Rituals based on the Agni was a part of the every aspect of the society during vedic days and since vedic days. Agni is described as the messenger and face of all devathas. Hence Invoking and propitiating Agni is considered as Auspicious and healing.
