Hi! Recently I have been through a lot of trying times, a lot of change, in less than a year and a half I went through a painful breakup, mourning the loss of that relationship, that life and that future, 9 months later I found myself mourning that same person, experiencing a new type of grief, pain and loss creating more transition, challenge and change around and within myself. On top of these big life changes I also recently had most of my valuable possessions stolen from me, including my clothes, my computer, nice camera (that my ex had bought me), and camera bag with 2 years worth of precious irreplaceable photos of adventures that I will never get back. Then of course like most of us I lost my job due to a worldwide pandemic, panic started ensuing all around and within those early days of panic an earthquake shook an even deeper sense of unease and world ending vibes to those of us living in Salt Lake City. I then last minute packed up my things and drove through a snow storm for three days sleeping in my car to drive across country to hunker down in New Hampshire and be with my sister. So change, transition, heartbreak and grief have been an all consuming part of my life for the past year and a half. I’m telling you this just to say that I have been through a lot, but there are tools out there that I use to lesson the pain and to help keep me moving through all the emotions . This Kundalini Mantra Sa Ta Na Ma has been a powerful mantra for me and I thought I would share it here in case anyone could use some help dealing with any type of loss or transformation during these crazy uncertain times. Just a note, this mantra is very powerful in my opinion and can bring up a lot of different emotions while you are chanting, crying is normal and in fact it is helpful, anger and frustration can come up as well and that is all OK, you can use those emotions to keep the chanting/meditation going letting those emotions release through the chanting. I personally have been slacking on meditating though I know how important this time is to go inward and reflect and heal. If you are interested feel free to message me and I would love to lead more meditations, breath work exercises and yoga classes for anyone interested in learning more. If you have any questions please let me know!
