Adi Shakti Mantra for Security, Creativity & Abundance

This mantra invokes the primary Creative Power which is manifest in the feminine. It will help you to be free of personal insecurities which block freedom of action. It is a mantra of devotion to the Kundalini, the Mother of all energies, which is the life force stored at the base of the spine. Call upon the strong, powerful shakti energy of this mantra to find security and create abundance in your life.

Adi Shakti, Adi Shakti, Adi Shakti, Namo, Namo
Sarab a Shakti, Sarab a Shakti, Sarab a Shakti, Namo, Namo
Prithum Bhagvatee, Prithum Bhagvatee, Prithum Bhagvatee, Namo Namo
Kundalini Mata Shakti, Mata Shakti, Namo, Namo

Translation:
Primal Power, I call upon you!
All-Encompassing Power and Energy, I call upon you!
That through which Divine Creates, I call upon you!
Creative Power of the Kundalini, Divine Mother Power, I call upon you!

Yoga Music Playlist - Week of 7/26/10

This week I am playing select songs from Mantra Girl's albums Truth and Trinity in all of my classes, including our 'mantra for the week,' her version of the Adi Shakti mantra.

Siri Gaitri Mantra for Healing

This week I shared the Mantra for Healing in my classes. It goes like this:
Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Say So Hung

When we hear, say, think or chant this mantra, we should visualize someone who needs some healing energy (including ourselves). This healing could be physical, mental or emotional. We visualize this person as totally radiant, strong and healthy.

Aad Guray Mantra

This week we are focusing on the Aad Guray mantra in my classes. It goes like this:

Aad Guray Nameh, Jugaad Guray Nameh, Sat Guray Nameh, Siri Guroo Dayvay Nameh

Its literal translation is:

I bow to the primal wisdom
I bow to the truth that has existed throughout the ages
I bow to True Wisdom
I bow to the Great Divine Wisdom

It is a mantra of protection and is recited to invoke the protective energy of the universe. It is often spoken before driving a car to create a protective energy around those in the car. (I thought this was fitting after my car accident this past weekend!) It also helps to bring clarity when there is doubt and opens to a sense of guidance from our highest Self.
