Please Help Us, Ganesha!

Sometimes it seems like we hit a ton of obstacles at every turn and need that little bit of help when we are stuck. Today’s talk/meditation/chant offers that clearing with a chant that raises our vibration and invites in and asks for help at removing the complications keeping us from living our best life!

My intro music is by my dear friend, Pierre Bensusan. The track is called ‘Sentimentales Pyromaniaques’ from the album 'Altiplanos'.

Hey there,

Welcome in.

So yeah,

The energy today,

Off the charts.

I'm feeling so good.

And like I've said a gazillion times,

I don't wake up feeling like Little Miss Happy.

I mean,

I really am pretty of a happy person,

Right?

But I gotta say,

I don't normally wake up happy today woke up with a smile on my face.

Because today,

I just feel like things are shifting today.

I don't know why.

I hope that you guys feel the same way.

So today,

I've been feeling lately that there have been sort of obstacles in my way,

Right?

There have been sort of things happening and obstacles that are just stopping me from doing things,

Right?

Whether or not it's like in my own mind,

You know,

That's another thing,

Right?

But there's been like these obstacles in my brain or whatever it is,

Right?

And I thought,

Oh my gosh,

What a great day to do to ask Ganesh for help.

Ganesh is the remover of obstacles.

So today,

We are going to chant the special chant Om Gom Ganapataye Namaha.

And basically what it does is it asks Ganesh to help us remove the obstacles going on in our lives.

It's like,

So amazing,

Right?

Okay,

So let me just tell you about this because I don't want to just throw it out there and make us do it,

Right?

So Om,

You know,

It's the divine sound of the universe,

Right?

It represents the connection between the universe and us and everything,

Right?

It's grand connection,

Right?

Gom,

This is like a cool part,

Okay?

When you say the word Gom,

It's so excellent.

It's G-A-M,

Okay?

And it sort of activates the root chakra,

Okay?

So saying Gom out loud continually really helps ground us and get our root chakra rolling there,

Right?

Your root chakra is the grounding chakra,

Connects us to the earth,

All of that,

Right?

Then Ganapataye is just a really fancy name,

A different name for Ganesh,

Okay?

And then when you say Namaha,

Namaha is like a salutation.

So it's like thanking Ganesh for coming in,

Okay?

So when you put it all together,

You're asking for Ganesh to come in and remove those obstacles in your life,

Right?

And then you're thanking him.

And I love it.

I've been learning so much lately about Ganesh and all of the different gods.

It's all so fascinating to me,

All of it,

All about all religions is so fascinating to me.

And I don't mean to sort of pick and choose which ones I want to talk about or whatever.

It's just whenever I'm meditating,

I look at myself as spiritual,

So I embrace it all.

So whenever I'm meditating and spirit says,

Are you having a problem?

Like you feel like there are obstacles in your way,

Use this,

Talk about this,

You know,

Kind of thing.

So let's get ourselves comfortable,

Okay?

And we are going to chant.

I'm going to say this with you,

Okay?

So we can all do this together.

Om Gom Ganapataye Namaha.

And it's sort of what's great about this chant is that it's sort of sing songy.

It like flows really easily.

So it goes Om Gom Ganapataye Namaha.

Om Gom Ganapataye Namaha.

Okay,

I know I said that fast,

But let's try it together.

Om Gom Ganapataye Namaha.

Okay?

Having a music background,

It makes it easier for me whenever it's sort of a sing songy when it goes there,

Right?

So you can listen to me chant it.

I'm going to do it 108 times,

Which is the sacred number.

I'm going to do it 108 times and you can listen,

You can chant with,

You can hum,

You can not say it,

Whatever feels right for you.

Okay?

All right.

Now let's get ourselves comfortable.

Get yourself situated,

Seated in a perfect place.

Okay.

Close your eyes.

Very good.

Let's take a deep breath in and release.

Perfect.

Taking in that beautiful energy.

Yeah.

Okay.

We areama.

Goodbye.

Whenever you feel comfortable you can open your eyes.

So do you feel the energy?

I can't help it but feel like I'm tingling.

That's so amazing.

So we say thank you to Ganesh.

Om Gom Ganapataye Namaha Thank you to Ganesh.

Perfect.

So I invite you to take this energy with you the rest of the day.

And whenever you feel like something is blocking your path or blocking a thought pattern or like you know sometimes we try to go down a road and it seems like we can't get there.

We can use Om Gom Ganapataye Namaha and one of the great things about this particular mantra is that you can because it is so sing songy you can say it with you or keep it with you and say it like the whole day.

Anytime that it feels like you need that just for those few seconds it's really amazing.

So I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.

And thank you so much for joining me as always from my heart to yours everyone.

Thank you.
