10-Minute Purnamadah Mantra Meditation
Come join me in singing this beautiful Vedic 'peace' mantra and evoke a sense of wholeness.
Dear Slow Friends,
Make a comfortable space for yourself where you can let your voice shine without judgement, perhaps light some incense, maybe a candle, and sing this ancient vedic mantra with me.
I filmed this earlier in the year when I was in the South of France on a self-made mini retreat. I spent a lot of time singing with my harmonium, which I find so comforting and relaxing … just imagine, people have been singing these words for thousands of years as a way to awaken a sense of completeness in oneself, and allow the mind and soul to transcend to a higher spiritual plane.
Om purnamadah purnamidam
purnat purnam udachyate |
purnasya purnamadaya
purnam eva vashisyate ||
ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदम् पूर्णात् पूर्णमुदच्यते |
पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ||
May you find comfort in that thought as you join in with me, knowing you don’t need to be a singer in the conventional sense (I’m certainly not!) but simply be willing to open your heart and lean into the song of your soul.
[always with gratitude to my harmonium teacher, Daisy Bowman.]
