Flourish

Friday 3/14 Mercury Retrograde is coinciding with Spring Equinox a time to clean or clear ourselves and our environment. 

March is about new beginnings and creativity. What do you want to refresh and or invigorate? What new interests do you have? 

Last month I mentioned I was working on something fun for this month.  We practiced the Love Mantra in February. Are you still practicing? 

Love, Love, I am Love - how do you feel when you say the Love Mantra?

I have a new mantra for you to practice. This mantra will require you to say the word 108 times. I am using my Mala for this mantra. 

Mala translates to ‘garland’ in English from Sanskrit. Rosary which is latin and it means ‘garland of roses’.

Bead comes from Anglo Saxon term ‘bede’ which means ‘prayer’ or ’to pray’.

The number 108 is considered sacred in Hinduism, Buddhism, and yoga, and is associated with spiritual completion. Malas, or prayer beads, traditionally have 108 beads to represent this significance. 

Why a mantra and prayer beads? Do you have a Mala?

The mantra itself helps to focus our mind, it helps with practicing presence, which leaves me to feel the words I am saying. Feeling the emotions of the words helps with what you are manifesting in your life. That is the magic of it!

When I want to make a big shift in my energy I will practice saying mantras. 

You can make a mala. You can string up 54 or 108 beads. With a 54 bead mala you will have to do two rounds. 

My Mala has 108 Beads made from Rudraksha beads. 

‘Rudraksha seeds are derived from tears shed by Lord Shiva and are symbolically associated with protection and vitality. They are grown on the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree in the Himalayan region.’

There are many kinds of beaded malas make sure to pick one or make one that resonates with you.  

You can use your mala to say the Love Mantra if that helps you with your schedule.

Do you have questions about what a Mala is? 

Our mantra for 15 days is ‘Flourish’. 

It’s the time of year to flourish. To step into the great beyond as the Fool does in the tarot to start our new adventures.

Before I share with you my experiment. I am always in process of some type of experiment. If it works I share or I tweak it until I feel I can share it. 

In the work I do I hear a lot of things. One worry after the election was lack.

I asked myself what was the opposite of lack, love, abundance, prosperity, growth, expansion, higher resonance,  which is the definition of ‘flourish’.

Say the word - Flourish - how do you feel? 

Now imagine saying 108 times - just think about how you will feel after doing that! 

What does Flourish mean to you? 

I find when using mantras daily it helps to raise and maintain my resonance. The mantras assists with transformation from within and shifting our perceptions about ourselves and our world. It helps us understand that everyone on the planet has a different path than our own.  That realization helps us with our love, empathy and compassion. 

We are all connected, remember as you shift and transform those who you are connected to will also shift and transform as they can as well. 

We are contributing the high vibe energy of flourishing  to those who we are connected too and if they ask us how we maintain a high vibe we can show them how to do it for themselves. 

After 15 days of saying Flourish as a mantra while drinking my coffee, I felt and feel great. I have better clarity about how I want to continue to flourish.   

During this busy month of shifting energy I felt this Mantra will help you as we enter spring the time of growth and expansion.  

Let’s Flourish!

Have a wonderful week! Remember to keep your heart open and aligned with the energy of LOVE!
