Mantras: Your Spiritual Wi-Fi
“Josie,” I hear you say, “I’m barely holding it together with work, kids, and trying to remember to drink enough water. Why should I care about Sanskrit?”
Here’s why: because it’s the key to tuning into a frequency that lifts you out of the daily grind and into something bigger.
Sanskrit isn’t just some ancient language. It’s a vibrational technology. The sages didn’t invent it to win spelling bees; they heard it. The sounds of the universe—the pulse of life itself—became the Sanskrit alphabet. When you chant these sounds, you’re tuning your inner world to universal love.
Take AUM for example. It’s not just a cool sound to close your yoga class with. AUM is the undulating wave of existence, lifting you beyond ego and into expanded awareness. And who doesn’t need a bit of that these days?
Why This Matters to You
Let’s be honest: Most of us live in object-referral. We define ourselves by our job titles, our possessions, our social media likes. It’s exhausting. Chanting Sanskrit mantras is a shortcut to self-referral. It shifts you from clinging to the outside world to resting in your expanded self.
Your Takeaway Practice
This week, try this mantra: Om Namah Shivaya (“I bow to my higher self”). Chant it 108 times (yes, that’s a lot, but trust me, it’s worth it). Let it ripple through you, releasing attachment and opening your heart. Want guided mantra meditations? You guessed it —yes come and join us in a traditional old school yoga class. Can’t get there? No problem it’s all inside the YL App too (FREE to Complete Studio Members), and did you know we also offer LIVE online streaming.
No excuses really huh! 😉
Love Josie. X
