still in om space. each day this mantra brings me to a different place. today love, love, love is in my air. so is being a student, surrendering and being humble. i feel like a student of om just eager to learn, seeking out all that i can find on this phenomenal mantra, its power and its gifts.
so today om/spirit presented me with the song by Musiq Soulchild “teachme.” not sure how many times i’ve listened to it at this point and its only 8:30 in the a.m., but with each listen spirit speaks to me on a deeper concept and my craving to vibrate on the love frequency intensifies. the more i surrender, the more my craving grows. the more i see where i need to invoke more humility with the people, places, energies and things that are the puzzle pieces of my path, the more i come to know. its funny, cause listening to the lyrics of the song, with my now ears i hear “teach me how to love/learn.” i see why love vibrates on such a high frequency because in love there is SO much learning and as i said i am a student of om at this moment and very much intensely craving to do one within the other.
like in love where there truly are no rules, in my om process i’ve learned that there are no rules. i’ve spent so much time as a yogi always trying to line my body up perfectly, trying to inhale and exhale properly. i’m always trying to eat the right foods. always trying to lead a just, honest, and meaningful existence here. essentially, i’m always trying to follow the rules. however, my realization is that there simply are no rules to this thing, which means there is no trying, just being and doing. in fact, it is through the surrendering of my heart to nothingness in a way of not adhering to how i’ve been taught to meditate, do yoga, eat, breathe, and exist that has brought me here.
so now i meditate, like brotha panic once said, in no particular posture and without using any particular breathing techniques. in this work i cannot surrender while following the rules. that in itself is such a contradiction and one of the other gifts that om/spirit has presented to me. so in my now space, it feels so good to be free from the rules of someone else’s practice. i can finally call it my practice and not one taught to me by someone else using techniques and skills that worked for them in their practice, not me.
i’ve never been a follower and i can’t say i’ve ever had an interest in leading. my specialty has always been just being me and om/spirit has revealed the beauty of that mantra….. the om mantra is leading me home to my mantra, leading me to teachme through love, humility and surrendering…
If you’ve used the om mantra or are thinking about it share your insights in a comment. would love to hear about it and it may speak to someone else…..
so i’m still in om space… what space are you in today? have you given yourself the well-deserved time to contemplate that?
sunflower smooches!
