In the US, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. While for many the holiday is a day of celebration and family time, for some, holidays can bring up emotions of sadness & depression.
If this is you, work with today's mantra as a supplement to your primary mental health care. Our mantra today is: oṃ sarva dukha hārāya namaḥ, which can be used as an antidote to sadness. If you feel a little sluggish, use this mantra to draw in more mental clarity and space. And from this state, we can start to see our next steps more clearly and begin to feel more supported from our surroundings and our current situations.
To continue meditating with this mantra, listen to the Lotus Seed album Removing Obstacles with Mantra Japa. You will also find a recording of the additional mantra mentioned in today's episode: śanta praśantyai sarva viṣāda upaśamāni svāhā (Invoking supreme peace I release & surrender the quality of sadness to its source in the higher and formless universal mind." Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Play, etc.
