I love chanting. From Hinduism, to Buddhism, to Christianity, to certain branches of Islam, to Hawaiian Kahunas, chanting has been an ancient practice that's been part of various religions and spiritual traditions.
The wisdom of letting go of the world never ceases to amaze me!! The first and most important exercise to remember at the start of a spiritual journey is to completely FORGET the stories of the world. Forget every single story no matter how much you want to savor and hold on to the memory of it. No exceptions. Release the attachment to your stories. Empty yourself completely. When we release the voice of the world, we will begin to hear the Still, Quiet Voice of Spirit in our hearts. We will hear the movement in the flow of Life in our Holy Breaths and the rhythms of the Universe dancing to the tune of our Sacred Hearts. Spirit is our Breath and our Heartbeat. Contemplate and Meditate on this. ♥
Meditation is my Cosmic Mother. She holds me close to Her bosom. I am not a disciplined meditator but I love to meditate. Some days nothing happens. Some days something happens. And on those especially blue days when I don't feel well body, mind and soul, my Cosmic Mother warms me up with Her Loving Light and brings to my mind a comic image of the problem I am obsessing about .... and in that flash of a moment, my whole body, mind and soul breaks into a grin melting away the pain and sadness I was experiencing just the previous moment. Meditation is my Mother! She enables me to See my life anew in so many brand new ways! She sure has a sense of humor!! ♥ Aum.
