The first om mani section plays in my head while I'm thinking the mantra, or what I chant it to. 🕉️🥰

A soothing, mesmerizing balm for the mind, body, heart, and soul. If you are new to chanting, I think this would be a wonderful introduction to just how transformative, nurturing, and magical it can be 💖 Thank you, Ajahn Achalo, for compiling & sharing this beautiful piece 😌
