Monday Mantra

Happy Monday, everyone! Back with another Monday mantra. This week's mantra is all about the beauty of life's ebbs and flows, so we'll be calling on the glorious Yoruba orisha, Yemaya.

Yemaya is the goddess of the ocean. This mantra to her celebrates the moment the river meets the ocean and praises Yemaya. Every life has its ebbs and flows. But the river continues to flow and the ocean is endless. This chant is a reminder that no matter how high or low the tide or how stormy the see, we still persist. 

This week's mantra:

Yemaya Assessu  (yem-ah-yah ah-say-soo)
Assessu yemaya   (ah-say-soo yem-ah-ya)
Yemaya olodo      (yem-ah-ya oh-lo-doh)
Olodo yemaya      (oh-lo-doh yem-ah-ya)


Below is a recording of this chant by Deva Premal. Feel free to follow along or to just listen in meditative silence.



Here's to a beautiful week, riding the waves of whatever comes our way.
