as a means of seeking “higher” guidance on their journey. Many people, myself included, have found it helpful to consult tarot cards, astrology, psychics, etc. However, in my own experience, what I have come to believe is that channeling is, quite simply, a much clearer and more personally relevant way of gaining deep wisdom and finding answers to my most challenging questions. However, I was in such an open and receptive place and it felt so natural to go and get my notebook and let Horatio speak through me.įor those of you who don’t know what channeling is, you can read more about it here. This was a bit of a surprise to me because I have not thought much about my guides lately and have not channeled in years. So, here I was, in deep meditation when I felt Horatio’s presence and “heard” his name in my mind. I’ll explain more about what that is in a moment. I came to know their presence in my life about 11 years ago and there was a time, early on, when I began to experiment with channeling.
I don’t think I’ve written much, if anything, about my spirit guides so I’ll have to save that story for another post but, for now, let’s just say that, yes… I do have three spirit guides who have introduced themselves to me as Horatio, Seth & Ka-Rachel.
I was there for quite some time when I began to feel the presence of one of my spirit guides, Horatio. It felt like there was nowhere to go but within, and I simply let myself sink into the deliciousness of it. My body was literally vibrating and, at the same time, I was incredibly relaxed… almost paralyzed with relaxation. Once again, when I was finished the chant, I fell into another deep, spontaneous meditation. When I was done researching him and downloading, I decided to finish my chanting with the same Deva Premal version I had used the day before.
#HEIN BRAAT MAHA MRITYUNJAYA MANTRA DOWNLOAD#
I found a site where I could download some free versions of his chants including the Gayatri Mantra, Om Mane Padme Hum, the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, Om Nama Shivaya and more. I followed along with him for a while and was so moved by the tone and energy of his version that I had to stop and learn more about him. What I found was a BEAUTIFUL YouTube video featuring a famous Dutch chant master named Hein Braat. “I guess this is the mantra I’m supposed to be chanting right now.” So, I decided to look for other recordings that included all 108 repetitions of the Gayatri Mantra. I was amazed when the first search results showed… you guessed it… The Gayatri Mantra, once again. Because I was about to write my blog, I googled “mantras for creativity”. This time, though, I felt like I wanted to find a “theme” for my chanting. I had planned to write my blog that morning but before I did, I had an urge to chant, once again. It did not even feel like I made a decision about it…it just “happened”.Īnd it was the same thing yesterday. However, when I got to StudioBe, everything on my “to do” list got shoved to the side. The interesting thing is that I had not planned to chant or to meditate that day… I had “stuff” I needed to do.
To my recollection, it was the deepest I have gone into meditation since the Puerto Vallarta retreat in February. When the chant was over, I fell into a deep, spontaneous meditation for almost an hour. I selected a version of the mantra by Deva Premal from my music library and proceeded to chant along with her.
#HEIN BRAAT MAHA MRITYUNJAYA MANTRA SERIES#
The day before (the final full, super moon of a series this summer), I arrived at StudioBe and felt compelled to chant the Gayatri Mantra. This was the second day in a row that this had happened. When I opened my iPhone to select the tracks that I wanted to listen to, I suddenly had an urge to chant a mantra before starting to write. When I arrived at StudioBe I set up my computer, lit the candles and incense and went to turn on some inspiring background music (chants, of course). This Tuesday I had planned to go to StudioBe and write my blog in the morning and then attend my first painting class of the season in the afternoon.
