As this calendar year comes to an end, I have been in a slow unraveling. Healing comes in new cycles and waves, and with each new cycle is another layer to be peeled from a different perspective. Interestingly enough, last night I dreamt of my face peeling off, skin was shedding and that is what this last week has felt very much like - an internal shedding.
I have reflected a lot on disintegrating - we speak of integrating, coming together, but what about when we need to break things up and peel things apart? As I am currently connecting dots and creating inner child and past parts rituals, there is a lot to share on the process and I look forward to it when I feel ready to. Right now I am listening to my body and taking it hour by hour, following the innate wisdom and the guidance of each part of me that is needing to be acknowledged. I feel incredibly grateful that while I move through a heaviness I have such deep trust in the process and the practices that support it. This is a pillar of my practice that I strive to share with others, that even through the heaviness we can still anchor into a divine deep trust, an inner knowing of peace and utilizing our body’s innate healing systems.
Earlier this year I began to deepen my chanting practice. I first began chanting the Sanskrit names of each main energy center and have since deepened into esoteric chants for clearing and healing. Chanting names of guides like Mary Magdalene to invoke their essence and support on my journey has also been a powerful way to utilize the power of my voice.
As a person that grew up painfully shy to speak let alone sing, I have found chanting to be incredibly healing. It has created an opening to empower my voice, my truth. It has provided another pathway to move energy. The most beautiful part has been the confidence and peace that eludes when I hear my own voice, loud, anchored and with clarity. I can feel the vibrations move through and around my body. The presence of spirit magnified.
My voice is a power that shifts and heals me, yours is too.
As I continue to disintegrate this season in stillness and in practice, chanting has been an anchor that provides guidance and peace. In this guided chanting process, we will move through the sounds for each main energy center along with a couple ways you can utilize this specific chanting.
May you remember the healing power of your own voice and experience the divine vibrations that emit from you.
Below are the Sanskrit words for each chakra to follow along through the guided chant meditation.
