The Healing Mantra That Saved My Life

Someone said that pain is just a rock in the pocket of happiness. And to get it, we face the black sun of emptiness.

The Healing Mantra That Saved My Life
Pain With Gain - in it's pocket

On a personal tool note. We all pain. It's an essential part of wanting to write, of wanting to create. So I wanted to share this nugget.

Someone said that pain is just a rock in the pocket of happiness. And to get it, we face the black sun of emptiness. I don't know that someone, and maybe I made it up from stuff that I've read here and there.

When I've felt pain, but have been unable to get it out of its rocky cave. I listen to this mantra.  This is the story behind the chant:

This is one of the most sacred and powerful mantras used for healing. It has truly wondrous therapeutic power when chanted or listened to regularly. Mrityunjaya mantra will help you to know the divinity within. It is chanted to know eternity.  The mrityunjaya mantra is considered one of the maha mantras or great Sanskrit mantras because of its potency to give protection and manifold blessings. Maha mrityunjaya literally means the great victory over death. It is associated with Shiva, the destroyer of ignorance, and the liberator from the cycle of death and rebirth. It is therefore a life giving mantra that not only protects the physical body and gives health, but purifies the mind at a deep level.
The story behind the recording: A beloved friend of the Dalai Lama, another monk, was making his transition from this life to the next.  Not, it might be said, as a trauma or a lost cause, but as a joyful journey at the correct time and with understanding of life beyond earth life. The Dalai Lama sat at his friend's bedside and chanted this chant for hours until the monk, with joy and peace, made his crossing.
