This is a meditation on a mantra that has never been heard before in human language.
Its sound is new,
Yet its intent is timeless and designed to awaken wise harmony in all systems,
Both seen and unseen,
So that consciousness in all its forms may evolve with grace.
So find a comfortable seat.
Close your eyes gently.
Let your breath become your anchor,
Soft and unhurried.
Take a deep breath in and exhale slowly,
Allowing all stale air to leave your lungs.
Repeat that pattern three times.
Feel your body supported by the earth.
Feel your awareness held by the space around you.
Let go of your day.
Let go of all effort.
You are simply here,
Resting in being.
Now move your awareness so you imagine you are looking at the back of your eyeballs,
So becoming the observer of the observer.
The mantra we will use today is SHA-VO-LEI-DUM.
SHA-VO-LEI-DUM Say it silently inside your head first.
Let the syllables bloom like petals opening in stillness.
SHA-VO-LEI-DUM There is no need to understand it with your mind.
Just allow the sound to work on your subtle body and in opening the connection to the higher realms.
So gently repeating the mantra inside your head,
SHA-VO-LEI-DUM,
Allow the rhythm to match your breath.
If your mind wanders,
Softly return to the mantra.
Let it draw you deeper with each repetition.
Feel its resonance not just in your mind,
But in your whole being,
As if the sound is tuning your system to harmony,
Radiating the intention.
Now allow the notion of the mantra to move so it sits behind your voice box.
And repeat the mantra SHA-VO-LEI-DUM,
Not actually making a sound,
But imagining you saying it.
Do that five times.
And if you're by yourself,
In a quiet space,
It's now time to vocalize the mantra.
Just repeat SHA-VO-LEI-DUM as many times and as loud as you feel comfortable with.
And now it's time to gently let go of the mantra.
It's done its work.
Return to your breath.
Return to stillness.
Imagine the subtle intent of the mantra rippling outwards,
From you,
To the people you love,
To the systems we are all part of,
To the planet,
And radiating out into the cosmos.
You are a node in the great web of awakening.
Let that awareness settle in your heart.
Take another deep in-breath,
And a long out-breath.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Bring a smile to your face.
You have just helped consciousness evolve in a unique and sacred way.
