I chant this mantra to deepen my self-trust and to ask for help when I find circumstances hard to swallow. In Sanskrit the words are: “Asato ma sat gamaya; Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya; Mrtyor ma amrtam gamaya. English Translation: “Lead me from the unreal to the real; Lead me from darkness (ignorance) to light (wisdom); Lead me from death (limitation) to life everlasting (freedom).” In this recording, you can listen to the chant, repeat it with me, and let the vibrations resonate within you.

Namaste.

This practice is revolved around a mantra from the Sanskrit language.

This mantra has a lot of meaning to me personally.

It's taken me through times where I've felt a little lost and a little disconnected from really what is important to me.

The mantra is Om Asatoma Sat Gamaya,

Tamasoma Jyotir Gamaya,

Mrtirma Amritam Gamaya.

The first phrase Asatoma Sat Gamaya means lead me from what is not true to what is true.

The second phrase Tamasoma Jyotir Gamaya means lead me from what is darkness,

Ignorance,

To light,

Wisdom.

And the third phrase Mrtirma Amritam Gamaya means lead me from what is limited to what is limitless and unchanging.

In total,

The chant is a way to reconnect with what is most important,

Most true,

Most full of wisdom,

And most full of a wisdom that is unchanging.

So to learn the mantra is traditional to listen and repeat.

I'll sing the first phrase and I'll sing it twice,

The first time for you to listen,

The second time for you to repeat it.

I'll do the same with the second and the third verse.

And then I'll sing the whole mantra all the way through.

I'll repeat it so that you can sing it with me.

And then we'll continue to sing until you're able to feel the mantra in your mouth,

Know the melody in your mind,

And hear it.
