This was incredibly enlightening. I am so thankful for your care and respect with explaining the Sanskrit and the deeper meaning and support of the chant.
I woke up feeling such a heavy sense of dread, and the first time I heard the words “I am immortal I am blissful I am pure I am free” I couldn’t contain myself from sobbing. I had to pause the recording and journal out some thoughts and feelings before continuing.
One thing that occurred to me that I am hung up on is that my ego mind and body feel neglected or invalidated in some way with this mantra. And it dawned on me that similar mantras that seemingly discount the body/mind do leave me feeling partially neglected. But your talk about what we can do to care for the body did give me a little clarity.
I can care for my body and mind even though they are not immortal. I can hold space for the grief in my body and mind for their mortality while holding the bliss of eternity in my spirit.
Thank you for sharing this.

Informative about meditation philosophy and how to see yourself beyond the mind and thoughts.
