🌅 Sangha Breath Sesh – Health & Wellbeing for All 🌿

This morning we gathered in community with a shared Sankalpa:

“For the health and wellbeing of self and others.”

A powerful reminder that our personal practice is never just personal.

When we regulate, strengthen and open our own system, we ripple that coherence outward - into our families, our communities, and the wider world.

🕉 Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra

Today we recited the Shiva Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra, a Vedic healing mantra traditionally associated with renewal, protection, and liberation from fear.

Sanskrit:

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात्॥

Om Tryambakaṁ Yajāmahe Sugandhiṁ Puṣṭi-VardhanamUrvārukamiva Bandhanān Mṛtyor Mukṣīya Mā’mṛtāt॥

English Translation:

“We worship the three-eyed One (Shiva), who is fragrant and who nourishes all beings.May He liberate us from bondage to death, like a cucumber severed from the vine,but not from immortality.”

Meaning & Purpose:

This mantra is a prayer for healing, resilience, and freedom from fear. It calls in strength during challenge, steadiness during uncertainty, and trust in the natural cycles of life, death, and rebirth -physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

It reminds us that true wellbeing is not just the absence of illness, but a deep connection to vitality and wholeness.

🌬 Our Breath Journey
