We pray for healing, blessings of the water

This is so lovely...




Water Blessing Song Grand Invocation - Nalini Blossom

We pray for healing
Blessings of the water
We pray for healing
Blessings of the sea
We pray for healing
Blessings of the river
That they may flow in crystal purity

Uchu no mugen no chikara ga kore kotte
Makoto no daiwa no miyo ga nari natta



This beautiful song is based on Dr. Masaru Emoto's mantra for healing the waters of the earth. The translation of the mantra is:

The Eternal Power of the Universe has gathered Itself to create the World with true and grand harmony.

I find this mantra so peaceful and calming and loving. I use it as a walking mantra when I am out and about. Since I have no car, I have to walk a lot, and having a mantra really helps me center and be mindful as I walk, remembering to be in the moment and enjoy what I'm doing instead of thinking only of where I'm going to.

My other walking mantra is Gate Gate, a Buddhist chant that blesses those who travel.





The chant goes like this:

Gate gate parangate parasangate bodhisva

Translation:

Gone, Gone,
Gone beyond,
Gone beyond the beyond,
Blessings on the journeyer and on the journey.


I love intentional music, that which is used in religious rituals, meditation, and other spiritual arts. I play long mixes of pagan and Buddhist music when I'm cooking and especially when I'm baking. It's very centering to hear such music when you're working with your hands to make something to nurture others. I sing the songs as I'm working, and intentionally channel the feelings of peace, love, and one-pointedness into the food I make.

Enjoy!

You're welcome! If you're interested to hear more of the music I'm describing, look up the Youtube channels "KeepMusicPagan" and "dianapeaceful". (I've discovered many lovely pagan and Buddhist artists I'd never heard of through those channels.) Also, a search for Deva Premal will yield lots of vids of her gorgeous Buddhist chant videos. If you like rock'n'roll, there's Totem and Faun, both German pagan bands. If you like ancient music, Daemonia Nymphe is AWESOME - they recreate original music used in the worship of the Greek gods. And of course, you can always bounce around with the right-hand recommendation bar on any of those pages. SO MANY RICHES.

You're welcome! And last but not least is LOTR fan favorite Emerald Rose. They played at the TORn parties, and do a great kind of pagan rock/folk fusion. KICKASS.
