This Tibetan mantra has been ringing in my head, heart and resonating in my belly ever since sacred ceremony entered our home a couple of days ago. I was reminded of the beauty of the non-ordinary in the ordinary . . . Mindful preparation of food in this instance. It was sweet to hear friends chanting over, for and with what we were about to eat. Literally food made with love.
Om is a way to remember our connection to all that is.
Mani is the jewel that helps cut through ignorance with its sharp wisdom.
Padme is the lotus that rises and blooms out of muddy waters symbolizing beauty, purity.
Hum is the open heart that infuses all with loving kindness. Bring it all together and this chant helps us to remember that when kindness is extended to others we actually receive it back to ourselves. I am thankful to our visitors from
New Zealand,
Ireland and
Australia who have reminded me to bring the sacred into the everyday, that it’s not something that only happens out there at a particular time, place and date. Until next time. . . “May the jewel in the lotus shine forth this light of love and compassion to unite all existences as one”
Namaste’, Nicole
