It is said that if you listen closely you can hear your breath whispering SO on the inhale and HUM on the exhale.
SO means “I am” and HUM means “that”. It translates to the philosophical meaning of “I am that”. The “that” refers to the universe. You can use the mantra in meditation if you like that is, by contemplating the fact that we are all connected to creation, to nature and that we are all one with the divine.
I AM DIVINE LOVE.
I AM DIVINE LOVE.
I AM DIVINE LOVE.
It is my favorite mantra. Sing it out loud and let it play in the back of your head all day, every day. Just let it sink in. Remind yourself of this daily. You are divine love. You are divine love. You are divine love.
Sat Nam is a commonly used mantra in the kundalini practice and it is a nice mantra to use when you need to get deep into your own self-identity.
The word “Sat” means truth and “Nam” means name. When they are put together they translate into “I am truth” or “Truth is my essence.”
You can use it in your meditation practice by saying the word Sat as you inhale and Nam as you exhale. It is a nice way to get into the truth of yourself and reconnect to your essence.
Stay true to yourself!
AUM or OM is said to be the first sound of the universe, the sound of creation.
Just like last year, I have decided to make the most of this month by nurturing my mind, body, and soul before the new year arrives. Each day for three weeks, up to December 21, I will focus on one MANTRA either by chanting, meditating or just reflecting on the meaning of it.
The Sanskrit translation of the word mantra is broken down into two words; ”man” which means mind and ”tra” which means vehicle or instrument. So a mantra is basically an instrument for the mind or a vehicle to transport your mind into stillness.
For the first week of the month, I have chosen some of my favorite Sanskrit mantras that make me feel calm.
Chant it out loud or silently to yourself and feel into the transformational power of the mantra.
The word of last week was; surrender. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to surrender.
This is a prayer from A Course In Miracles that teaches us how to let go and surrender to Gods plan;
Where would You have me go?
What would You have me do?
What would You have me say, and to whom?
Are you willing to surrender your life in the hands of your highest self? Let me know in the comment section below.

The word of last week was; respect. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose respect.
Sometimes we lose the sense of who we are and where we are going in life. Sometimes we find new meaning in all the chaos. Sometimes there is no meaning. That’s just life. Somehow though, I still believe there is always a lesson to be learned from all the things we go through.
The lesson that I sit with today is to be more trusting. To have more patience. To respect life. Instead of trying to find the answers in my mind I should try to live with a little bit of curiosity to all the things I can’t seem to find the answers to.
We are not meant to know what the next step in life is for a reason. Life, God, the universe is always in control of everything. I wonder what would happen if I could start to respect the creative force and trust that it can give me what I want. Maybe I would see all the magic from another perspective.

The word of last week was; open. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to open.
Perhaps it is immature to blame the season that we are in for everything that has been going on lately but I feel like I haven’t been able to control my emotions this month. I guess it was time for a change and time to grow.
Before that could happen life wanted me to get honest about all the shit that I have been carrying around with me and that has created my reality. For as long as I can remember I have felt like I am not worthy, left out and forgotten. I started to believe that I was stuck in those emotions and I decided I
My inner teenager acted out and I let her run the show last week because I couldn’t take it anymore. She sees all the bullshit my adult self is keeping up with and she is not having it. I have been swallowing my own truth, biting my tongue, and ignoring my needs to please everybody else. I
That teenager she knows I am worthy, important and special. She wants to be seen and heard. That is why she tried to protect me from holding back my feelings last week. She just erupted and couldn’t take any more of the bullshit that life was feeding her. She burned down everything that was not real so that I could see what is really true.
She wants me to open up my heart again and trust life. She wants me to feel loved. She wants me to be alive. So for her, I am willing to be open to this new belief;
I am willing to be open to the possibility that all my wildest dreams can come true. Are you open for a change? Let me know in the comment section below.

The word of last week was; secure. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to be secure.
I have been feeling so insecure about life for as long as I can remember. The last couple of years I have been longing for a real change. I am grateful for my life but I know that I deserve more. I deserve to feel more deeply, to laugh more uncontrolled, to love more unconditionally. For some reason, I have been waiting for someone to give me the things I desire, even though I know I am the only one who can give that to myself. Only I can make that change and be truly alive. It starts with loving myself more. Giving myself the love that I want to feel from others. I am the only one who can give myself the security I am searching for. I am the only one who knows what I want so why am I waiting for someone else to give me that?
The answer is rooted down in my body and it has been whispering a message to me for a long time now. It tells me that I am not feeling secure in my own beliefs about myself. It tells me to trust and feel secure in where I am right now before any change can happen. It tells me that I need to change the direction of my life and feel really secure that I am being taken care of.
I have had such a lack of trust in myself and that has been influencing how I view this world and everything around me in my life. But right now I am

The word of last week was; strength. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to be strong.
God, Guru, Universe,
Help me to find my strength and be rock-steady down to my core.
Amen.

The word of last week was; relax. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to relax.
This past week I have been really relaxing trying to do nothing. It is a challenge to not take any actions, to not react. Not having any goals or mission. Just letting life unfold. It was much needed and made me feel so complete again because I could start feeling safe in myself again.
I am really thankful I have this time to just be and not figure out what the next step is. I am so done with trying to figure it all out, I have been doing that all my life and it never works out the way I plan for it. It makes me feel so free and happy. This is the way I want to live. Now I know not everyone has the privilege to live like this but everyone can decide whether or not they want to be relaxed in life or uptight. I choose to be relaxed. How about you?
Are you willing to relax this summer and just be? Let me know in the comment section below.
