There are many Laksmi (Lakshmi) chants for abundance.  This one includes "Maha" - which translates as "great".  So it translates as asking for, petitioning for great abundance!  Chant this in multiples of 3 - 3, 6, 9...or 21, 27, or 54.  A full mala (the prayer beads used to keep count of your mantra in Japa chanting) has 108 beads.  So 54 is a half mala, 27, a quarter.  108 is a wonderful full practice!  When you have finished chanting, sit in silence for a few minutes to allow the resonance to settle within and around you.  

Always chant respectfully.  These are ancient, sacred sounds and not be to be 'grasped' in a western way of wanting more.  

I offer this unreservedly for the benefit of all those that feel called to chant, and all who are in need of abundance in one form or another. 

World Sound Healing Day takes place on the 14th February each year.  I offered a free yoga and chant session this year (2025) and this chant was loved by all. 

A Sanskrit mantra that often chanted at the conclusion of a yoga practice. Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu means "may everyone, in the whole world, be happy". It can be chanted, sung or meditated upon to offer as a prayer, or shloka for the whole world

Not being a fan of "New Year New You" - I still think we can begin to plant the seeds of our intentions for positve change for the months or year to come.  We plant the seeds now (or indeed any time of the year) and, just like in Nature, we wait for them to germinate and flourish. 

We visit a winter garden, but one where the snowdrops are just beginning to push up through the soil...new growth is already happening and yours can too.

I hope you enjoy this episode.

Sometimes it is the simplest of meditations that can guide us back to our heart-centred-self.  Nothing fancy, but the breath (our anchor in the present moment), and a simple visualisation.  

I hope this offers you a few moments of peace and a sense of coming home to yourself. 

A simple guided meditation on the breath to calm your mind and body, followed by a visualisation of your vibrant, healthy cells.  Enjoy!
