![]() ![]() I feel each students relationship with this mantra can be so very different, as I have learned since my training. Over time I have heard this mantra again and again, and each time there is a new, yet familiar connection. In my personal experience, through the recognition of self I was able to begin to build a solid foundation of intention, laying this mantra at the very base of all of it. If ever you are to do a yoga teacher training you will learn the power, the gift, of transformation in the first few minutes. We repeated these words over and over through the entire training and I feel became embedded inside the foundation of my being. I can recall the experience of my teacher training and can feel the essence of this mantra. For me there is a mystery behind these words. I keep this, alongside my other prayers and mantras, posted on my desk so as to have it available to me whenever I need it. I feel strongly connected to the power and possibility of these words. This mantra is sacred in its own way and so very meaningful. Any of my fellow classmates from yoga teacher training know this mantra well. ![]() ![]() It is only when I listen am I able to really take in what is in front of me, in the now. Often my present moment is a reflection from a past experience, showing me or telling me what I need to know. Looking back over your LIFE, for me, has provided me with the wisdom that I need today in the present moment. I always say there are so many lessons and opportunities in the present moment but do not disregard the power of hindsight. I feel like its funny that I can look back over time and recall certain phrases, intentions, pieces of my memory that stand out enough to compile a weeks worth, if not more, of mantras that have showed up in my LIFE. The translation that speaks through me is ‘I honor all that sustains me.’ Literal translation for this mantra is ‘ Om, I bow to Lord Vasudeva or Lord Krishna‘ ……….and then there was this little mantra that changed my LIFE ![]()
