COMMENTS
If you want to understand the power of this mantra, do the meditation for 31 minutes a day for forty days. Eat lightly during that period and drink plenty of water, fluids and yogi tea.
You are designed to function well with vast thoughts. Sometimes you lose the connection to great vistas, to intuition of the infinite and to the chain of being of all life. The mantra blends qualities that are like seed templates. Those seeds that are planted deep in the mind open the inner doorway to uplifting and healing thoughts.
