✨ Navaratri has ended, but the Light continues.What happens when a sacred festival ends? Does the spiritual connection end with it, or can it become part of every moment of our daily lives?In this episode of Mantras & Meditation & Creation, I share my personal journey through Autumn Navaratri and the spiritual growth that continues beyond its nine sacred nights.During Navaratri, I chanted mantras while working and living my everyday life, honoring the Goddesses, Gods, Surya, and the planet of each day. My chanting often began with Hum Gum, as given to me by Ganesha and Hayagreeva. Eashoa Jesus was also a strong presence during this sacred time.Now autumn has arrived at our old Finnish farmhouse. The days grow shorter, and I light the fires in our masonry heaters and oven. For me, lighting a fire is a sacred ceremony, accompanied by a mantra honoring Agni, the God of Fire.In this episode, I share my original song The Light I Am (My Navaratri), a musical reflection on learning to live as the Light I am, not only during sacred ceremonies but throughout ordinary life.This is my journey of spiritual growth, Divine connection, creativity, and the teachings that emerge through living.🙏 A reflection for you:Can you bring a little more awareness into something you do every day? Perhaps while walking, preparing food, working, or lighting a candle?Let that ordinary moment become an opportunity for connection.I am Om Kleem Hum Gum Namo.I came here to grow as Light, channel the Divine teachings, and share what I learn through my own growth.🌟 Continue your spiritual journey with LightofLionExplore my mantras, meditations, spiritual teachings, music, and online courses:https://www.lightoflion.com💌 Join the LightofLion NewsletterReceive spiritual reflections, new teachings, music updates, and a welcome gift of 50% off all LightofLion online courses.

In this episode I share a deeply personal day from life at our farmhouse, a day when joy and sorrow arrived together.Three kittens from The 4 Heroes of the Fable Woods Valley, Myrsky, Tuisku, and Routa, left for their loving new homes.Later that same evening, our old horse Veera became ill with colic, and the time came to let her go.The next morning life continued. The horses still needed hay. Lilja was still with me, waiting for her own new home. And sorrow was still present.That day left me with a simple understanding:If you experience joy, love, sorrow, and goodbye in your life, then you know that you have lived a life.This episode is about love, grief, letting go, animals, the continuation of life, and the quiet Light that remains when someone we love leaves.With love, LightofLion 🌿🐎🐾

Summer has been a season of kittens, animals, music, creativity, spiritual learning, and transformation at LightofLion.In this episode I reflect on watching five litters of kittens grow, living with Usva from kittenhood to motherhood, and sharing this summer with Lilja, Routa, Myrsky, and Tuisku, The 4 Heroes of the Fable Woods Valley.I also share how this period opened a new creative chapter through music. I created The Stories from The Fable Woods, Songs from Shiva’s Path, and songs including The Paws of Mine, Luna Walks Beside Me, Lila and the Hare, The Voices from the Past, and The 9 Nights of Goddesses.Along the way I discoveredElevenMusic https://elevenmusic.io/join/6TIWL8HY andElevenLabs https://try.elevenlabs.io/5ifj572wkt3oas tools that can help me transform teachings, experiences, stories, books, and meditations into music and spoken audio using versions of my own singing and speaking voice.Most of all, this summer has brought greater clarity about the direction in which I want to live, create, and grow.As summer turns into autumn, the kittens continue growing, the creative journey continues, and new teachings continue to arrive through animals, nature, Divine guidance, and everyday life.Chant & Meditate & Pray & Connect & Ask.

In Part 2 of Turn Your Senses to Divine, we continue our journey from the outer senses into the deeper awareness of the body.In this private LightofLion meditation, we use the sacred mantra Kleem to work with your inner senses and sense of touch, bringing awareness to the subtle information flowing through your body.We chant Kleem in three stages.First, allow Kleem to vibrate from the root chakra at the bottom of the spine upward through the chakras to the crown.Then allow the mantra to expand through your whole body, rising from your feet to your head and filling every cell with its vibration.Finally, allow Kleem to move into and through your skin, expanding your awareness beyond the boundaries of the physical body.After each chant, we enter a short period of silence and simply become aware of what is happening within.There is nothing to force. Regular practice is the teacher. Allow Kleem, your body, and your own experience to show you the way.You can return to this meditation daily or whenever you feel called to deepen your awareness. You may also explore the practice with other mantras.Together with Part 1, this practice is designed to help transform ordinary sensory awareness toward a more conscious and Divine way of experiencing yourself and the world.Chant. Feel. Listen within. Let the Divine senses awaken.Thank you, and enjoy the practice.LightofLion
