I chant this Mantra for my highest benefit, and for the highest benefit of all who are now, or will ever be, contained within the quantum, spiritual pages of this Universal Life Force Energy Exchange. But my focus is on Loving myself transcendentally, unconditionally - while knowing that this internal act will automatically reach the Divine, and automatically impact all beings on earth on the subtle, quantum levels of reality. It's automatic because quantumly and energetically - we are all one. Each of us are a holographic microcasm of the whole. In each of our minds and hearts - we carry the rest of the world. The world doesn't carry us, we carry the world in our consciousness. Reality is created from the inside out.
So... with that said, with that intention, I begin this journey of chanting this Mantra 46,656 times in 108 days. Now, I know that this is going to be extremely challenging, especially in the beginning. I know that this will likely bring up strong emotions, feelings, and old gunk that needs to heal. I vow to take care of myself in this process. I WILL chant this Mantra in a melodic, harmonic, hypnotic, spiritual way in 4 rounds of 108 repetitions each day, for 108 days in a row.
I will continue the journey, as well, of transmitting Universal Love into this Exchange (it is day 22), but my focus will be on sending this Love through my own being first.
My intention is not to repeat the words of this Mantra like a mindless robot, but to feel, vibrate, and allow the Mantra to shake, reverberate, and penetrate every level of my mind, body, and soul. My goal is to saturate every level of my mind (conscious, subconscious, and superconscious) with this Mantra to such a degree that my soul hums with unconditional self-love, and to the degree that my life totally transforms.
Breath of Universal Love Meditation
This meditation is in my book, but here is a summary of it: Focusing on the center of my heart, I breathe in deeply while using my creative intent and imagination to expand and pull the center of my heart into the Divine. And on each exhaling breath, I completely relax my whole body while flooding Transcendent, Universal Love into my mind, body, cells, and atoms - ultimately revealing the body to be transparent vibrations of light. I immediately breathe in again and keep the Universal Love circulating in the same way. I breathe in this way continuously, with no pause between my in and out breaths. I will do this meditation every day.
I will then incorporate the Mantra into the movement of my breath. I will chant aloud, whisper, and mentally broadcast this Mantra in a powerful, passionate way - so that every cell of my body feels the reverberations - so that all life everywhere feels it. I will relax as deeply as possible during each round of powerful, vibrating repetitions.
I will surround all moments of pain, trauma, ugliness - from my past - in this Mantra. I will allow all feelings and thoughts contrary to this Mantra to effortlessly and joyously transmute into Love. Even when it hurts, I WILL CONTINUE this process. I WILL DO 4 ROUNDS OF 108 REPETITIONS FOR 108 CONTINUOUS DAYS, BEGINNING TODAY. I WILL! I call upon the forces of body, mind, energy, breath, Love, and Spirit - to aid me in this process of total self-healing and transformation - and I dedicate this to the greatest benefit of my wife, children, extended family, friends, relatives, community, country, and planet.
The Benefits
Spiritual: I believe that the key to experiencing union with the Divine, is to first Love myself without condition or compromise. If I can Love myself no matter what, and do it deeply and passionately, then I am contacting God/dess/Divine. This is because I am created by the Divine, and what is created can never be separate from the Creator. There is only oneness. Is this a trip down ego lane? I don't think so. I believe that the ego thrives on self-hatred and not on self-love. Egotistical vanity and narcissism, I believe, has at its root a deep and abiding self-hatred. Only by Loving myself unconditionally can I transcend the traps of the ego. So... I hope that the benefits will be a deeper feeling of unity, oneness, joy, peace, calmness. As I Love myself in this way, may I feel this Love reaching the Ecstatic Heart of God/dess.
Emotional: As I Love myself in this deep, profound, and consistent ways, I believe that all emotions, feelings, thoughts, memories, traumas, beliefs that are contrary to Love - will rise to the surface and wash to the shores of my consciousness - to ultimately be bathed in the sunlight of Love and be transmuted into Love. Ultimately, leaving me free of all the bondage and pain of my childhood, which I still carry around with me in this rather heavy knapsack on my back.
My marriage: This one is huge. Jill and I have traveled to three foreign countries together and brought back three amazing souls. It all started in late November, early December of 1999 when she sent me a blind email on AOL. From the moment I saw her eyes, I felt a total shift in my soul, a melting, a softening - and I knew I was hooked for life. Almost 7 months later, we married at a beautiful retreat center in Baldwin Kansas. Over the last 10 years there have been many challenges, issues, problems, arguments - and many, MANY more moments of goofiness, laughter, love, playfulness, and travel. WE ARE STILL TOGETHER 10 YEARS LATER. From a person who never really sustained any type of long term relationship before I met her, this is huge. So... the act of Loving myself, I believe, takes any relationship to a higher level. My prayer is that these next 108 days will lift our union to higher levels of joy, peace, calmness, and love.
My kids: Boy, what a biggie. I believe, just as I stated in an earlier post, that the biggest act of service parents can do for their kids is to LOVE THEMSELVES deeply, passionately, and unconditionally. This will help heal and transmute the closet full of ghosts and skeletons - which our kids will find and begin to reflect back to us in the daily trenches of life with them. I know this is the case. Parenting drives me friggin' nuts most of the time. Both my middle boys, ages 9 and 8, are showing me so many problems and issues with self-esteem, bad attitudes, self-injurious behaviors, dramas, manipulations, bawling - and YES - a lot of laughs and a lot of Love. They are beautiful, and they are beautifully demanding and they drive me absolutely out of my mind in such a beautiful way! Sometimes, no, most of the time, I scratch my head in utter exhaustion and confusion and wonder if anything I say to them, AT ALL, gets through. SO, to Sorin, Liam, Prasad, Sky, and Amelie - these 108 days are for you!!
My body: Geesh, I almost don't even want to talk about it. I have been on a roller coaster of gaining and losing about 10 pounds for the whole ten years I have been married to Christine. I consider myself healthy, generally. I am vegetarian. I mostly overeat out of a sense of exhaustion, stress, and boredom. This year, I have had a few problems manifest in my body. Back going out several times. Sciatica pain shooting down my right leg. Thats about it. Plus being heavier than I wish to be. My prediction, is that these 46,656 Mantras over the next 108 days will have a positive impact on my health, vibrancy, energy, weight, and well-being. Right now, I weigh 170 pounds. Would like to weigh 150 pounds. Let's see what happens.
Prosperity: I believe that Self-Love creates a magnetic attraction that pulls prosperity of all kinds into my life. We shall see.
Ultimately, my intention is that this act of Self-Love, these thousands of Mantras, will have a subtle, energetic, quantum impact on other human beings. MY GOAL is to attract 10,000 people into this Exchange who each make a commitment to powerfully vibrate this Mantra at least 10,000 times. 10,000 times 10,000 is 100,000,000 (one hundred million). One hundred million Transcendent Self-Love Mantras being felt, vibrated, and resonated within 10,000 bodies and minds, I HOPE, will help impact human consciousness in a small way.
Why 108 days?
I am chanting the Mantra 46,656 times because I want to practice what I write about in my book. If I can't do this for the next 108 days, then I have no business writing this book. I want to go way above what I suggest for others. Everyone is different. I tend to bite off more than I can chew and then spend the rest of my life chewing! You could do 4 rounds of 108 Repetitions a day for 27 days and reach 11,664 Repetitions. Or less. Or more. Whatever you choose. If a person just did one round of 108 Repetitions a day for 10 days, that would be 1,080. Not bad. Each person should do whatever is comfortable to them. Why 108 days? I just like the number. There are 108 beads on my Rudraksha Mala Necklace. 4 rounds of 108 a day is very challenging, but perfectly so. Again, this is just for me.
And numbers, for many, are not that big of a deal. You could repeat and feel the Mantra once a day in a really powerful way - and have it make more of an impact than if you repeated it mindlessly all day long. I'm just into numbers. Obsessively so? Probably. But I accept that about myself.
Speaking of Rudraksha
Rudraksha Beads are from India, and look like little brown, bumpy seeds. They are said to carry a high vibration, and help to balance the energy field. Jill used to sell them on eBay, so we still have a bunch of them laying around.
I use my necklace to count my repetitions. My intention is to "store" or "install" or "imprint" each Mantra into each bead as I repeat, feel, and count them. After each round of 108 Repetitions, I put it back on. It is long enough that it drapes around my heart. So after 108 days, I will be "wearing the 46,656 Mantras around my heart. I believe this will transform my life in ways I cannot even predict.
Universal Love/Om/Energy
The Mantra is in the Universal Life Force Energy Exchange book, and is being bathed in Reiki/Universal Love/Om - so each time someone wraps their warm, beautiful hands around the book - the Mantra will become even more potent to repeat, feel, and vibrate.
Loving ourselves in the conscious presence of others
To join together, in mind, heart, and soul - with one or many other people - and chant this Mantra - is even more amazing. I would love to start a small group once a month to chant this Mantra together. If you join me in doing this, know that each time you repeat this Mantra, there are many others who are repeating it with you on the quantum level. This inner support is a beautiful thing. Ultimately, we are Loving each other when we Love ourselves. This is because on a deep, profound level - WE ARE EACH OTHER.
The long, echoing, melodic chant of the Mantra
I like to chant the Mantra in a melodic way. Kind of hard to get across in words, but I'll try:
With the Trannn-sscendent Love that I aaaammmmm....
I Love myself, unconditional-eeeeeeeee.
I chant the Mantra in an echoing, soft, beautiful rhythm, feeling it on every level of my body, mind, and soul. I can either chant it fast, slow, slower. I can chant it aloud, in a whisper, or mentally. Doing it mentally takes more concentration because the mind does tend to wander.
How long does one round of 108 Repetitions take?
Let me find out - I will do round 2 for the day now....
Took 13 minutes
