Friday Meditation :: Healing the planet, soothing the soul

About this Friday Meditation

Rekindle your flame and share it with others - free of charge, open to everyone, for everyone.

The intention of this meditation is to keep our own inner flame lit in order that we may light a flame in others and send this positive energy out into the community and the world at large to wherever or whoever needs it most.

It will take place on the second Friday of the month, 7.30-8.30pm with tea and biscuits afterwards for those who want to stay.

Shanti Path (Peace Chant)

CD Cover

If you believe that peace starts with the individual then here is an opportunity to learn a chant which can contribute to peace in your life and the world.

Find a quiet space to sit, light a candle, then listen to Swami Pragyamurti (Director of the London Centre) talk about Shanti Path in this podcast, and chant one round of Shanti Path with her.

It's taken from tracks 3 & 4 of Hridayakasha Dharana (Meditations on the Heartspace), the fifth volume of a set of six Yoga Nidra & Meditation CDs, available to buy from our yoga shop.

Shanti Path

Asato ma sad gamaya
Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya
Mrityor ma amritam gamaya

Saravesham svastir bhavatu
Saravesham shantir bhavatu
Saravesham purnam bhavatu
Saravesham mangalam bhavatu

Lokah samastah sukhino bhavatu

Om trayambakam yajamahe
Sugandhim pushtivardhanam
Urvarukamiva bandhanat
Mrityor mukshiya mamritat

Aum shanti shanti shanti

Peace Chant

From the unreal lead me to the real
From the darkness lead me to light
From death lead me to immortality

May all beings dwell in happiness
May all beings dwell in peace
May all beings attain oneness
May all beings attain auspiciousness

May all happiness be unto the whole world

We worship the three eyed one (Shiva) who is fragrant and who nourishes all beings. May he liberate us from death (ignorance, belief in our transient nature) for the sake of immortality (knowledge of our immortal nature) even as the cucumber is severed from the vine (that its seeds may be kept).

OM peace peace peace
