Sadhana Day 5
Been practicing meditation this week. Each day after I put Maybelle down for a nap, I’ve practiced the Gayatri Manta. Here’s Gayatri Devi.
She loved the sun so much she became a mantra dedicated to invoking the spirit of divine light. You can learn more here and here.
Here’s what I do: I light a candle and sit at my altar (which is a pack and play folded up with a baby blanket over it) and chant while listening to it with my iPod on repeat. I’ve only made it halfway through my mala (prayer beads), which is about 50 times, about 20 minutes. I should say right now that my mala is actually a rainbow beaded necklace I got for free at the gay pride parade. I tied a red ribbon on it to mark where you begin and end. You’ve got to start somewhere.
