That's why it's so important to connect with transcendental sound. Sound effects us in so many ways - whether it be heard or read. By consciously exposing ourselves to those sounds which uplift us, we naturally start to become more sensitive and start to see a profound change in our lives. Happy chanting! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092608110198167323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143245321051269233.post-40511260654206373502013-08-06T16:49:55.570-04:002013-08-06T16:49:55.570-04:00Vrndavana, I just love your posts and the inspirat...Vrndavana, I just love your posts and the inspiration and peace I feel when I read them.

Chanting japa is something that has really carried me over the tumultuous waves that the material world has cast my way, as it does everyone, over the past year. <br /><br /><br />“Or in other words, the loss and emptiness that we may experience actually serves to help us if we look deeper than what meets the eye or emotion. It signifies that we deserve more than what this material world promises us and that we are the proverbial fish out of water.”<br /><br />I feel like I can relate to that. I kind of leapt off of the path of bhakti yoga for awhile as I was overcome by my own personal struggles –material and spiritual. When it comes to spiritual it had to do with doubts, uncertainty and probably exposing myself to way too much information , to way too many sources! When I fell out of chanting so much and reading spiritual literature and began speculating more I slowly began to feel an emptiness and a longing overcome me. It took my stubborn heart way too long to realize that the intense longing I felt could be assuaged by chanting and when I started to chant more it was like my soul fell into a quieter more peaceful state and I realized what seems to be the message of your post..that sometimes in order to progress and move forward it really is necessary to leave those things behind that hinder us. And that doesn’t mean we are to deprive ourselves..but to replace what sometimes occupies our minds and our heart’s attention with things that will draw us deeper into peace, revelation and understanding of ourselves and God. And would could possibly compare to that? <br /><br />Sorry, kind of going on. Great post. <br />Jessica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450820269367184046noreply@blogger.com
