This mantra is used daily in our practice as a blessing and invitation to reconnect to Spirit beyond conception, that which permeates all things. It is a powerful and sweet, sattvic (high vibrational) mantra that brings us into harmony with Goddess in all the worlds. It recalls the breath that moves through us, carrying the vital energies of prithvi (earth), apas ('jalam' or water), agni (fire), vayu (air), and akasha (ether). It invokes awareness of higher states of consciousness at the same time that it invites us to make the Divine real in the here and now through our speech, thought, action, and intentions. Because of its potency and invocation of all that creates the phenomenal world, we also use it regularly as a blessing before meals.

Use this mantra in your daily practice to invoke and honor the Divine on all levels, in all realms: as the Ultimate Reality, Great Goddess, and dearest personal, indwelling Spirit. May you be successful in your meditations!
