What is a mantra?

What are the benefits of chanting it?

A mantra is a repetition of sacred words that creates a particular reverberation within our body and mind.

Think of it as "taking an internal shower", an inner cleansing.

Some of the benefits of repeating a mantra (and you don't even have to be a "good singer" because it is not about singing, you just have to chant from the heart) include,

>creating a deeper sense of peace and calm

>balancing the chakras (energy centers that connect body/spirit)

>increasing concentration

>releasing stress

>decreasing depression.

Your new life is going to cost you your old one

Maybe the fact that i saw my first dead body floating in the Ganga today prompted me to write this. He was all curled up, face down, left leg missing from the knee down. Sadhu's orange clothes bundled up, back showing. His floating had come to a stop, the river's current being slow and we helped him going his way moving the water with our cupped hands to create waves. My first thought was to take a picture, and the second 'how insensitive of me to even think that'. i mean, it's not like i need a photo to remember the feelings, emotions, and thoughts this event brought up. It's an image i will never forget. Also possibly the fact that i was attacked by two stray cats in two days, in two separate occasions made me think about death and the brevity of human life. It is quite frightening, let me tell you! Without notice the cat shape-shifts into this crazy fast ball that you think is going to attack your hair or something. In both instances the mother cat was

The power of letting go

Non-Attachment. A term the world is becoming more and more familiar with if. Have you ever found yourself saying “I want peace”, “I want to feel more connected” or “I want to be able to live in present moment”? Letting go of things, situations that no longer serve you, projections, desire to control the future, and expectations are the best practices to live a mindful and healthy lifestyle; the recipe to a fulfilled and stress-free life.

What if you could come from a place of enough—how much stuff do you actually need? Have you ever asked yourself that? Let go of the story. What stories about yourse

Time ~ by Naomi of Gratitude Vietnam

A year ago, I had six months left of a two year contract. I had signed the contract to save for a new life, start a business and leave the safety of the institution of education I had been happily ensconced in since starting school at the age of five. Six months felt like a life-sentence, yet when they had passed, it felt as though the time had run away in a flash! The impact of this perplexingly contextual perception of time during this period has stayed with me, and got me thinking… For as long as beings have been conscious on this planet, there has been witness to the passing of time. Whether through observation of changing seasons, passing of day and night, tidal movement, interplanetary movement or stars, each and every civilisation has found a way to measure, record, navigate and ‘manage’ time. We divide days into hours, lives into years, history into eras, evolution into periods. Our own lives we ‘chapter’ and bookmark by pivotal moments, decisions made (for better or s
