“I invite you to think of your Japa practice as a ladder that connects you to your true self and the truth of your existence.

Every day, as you invoke the essence of your selected mantra into your body, mind, spirit, and being, picture yourself taking a step closer to merging with your truth and The Truth of your pure self with each intentional incantation of your selected invocation.

Know that one of the key elements to your successful engagement in Japa practice is to integrate your personalized mantra into a meaningful ritual that helps you to feel not only connected to the sound of your selected mantra itself, but also helps you to feel connected to the deep meaning that it expresses for maximum effect, as Patanjali advised in Sutra 28.”
