Monday Mantra

I call upon the Creator. I call upon Divine wisdom.

This week's Monday Mantra is one of my favorites, the Adi Mantra:

Ong Namo, Guru Dev Namo (ong nah-mo, goo-roo deiv nah-mo)

This mantra is used at the beginning of Kundalini Yoga practice in order to tune a person to his/her higher self. The words call upon creative energy and wisdom to manifest; I call upon the Creator, I call upon Divine wisdom. 

There is a divine light within us all. This chant invites us to awaken it, to tune our spirits to our higher vibrations. There is a lot of power in that. 

I will be practicing this mantra along with the following recording, as I find it more relaxing to follow someone's voice. This recording is a great one by Snatam Kaur, but there are plenty of others out there. If you find chanting with a recording isn't for you, you can practice the mantra with 108 repetitions, or simply as many repetitions as you feel you desire. Find a quiet space and time where you have about 10-20 minutes to yourself. Make sure you have a comfortable seat and a tall spine. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let the meditation carry you.



Happy Monday, everyone! May your week be blessed, beautiful, and abundant.
