Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 OM NAMAH SIVAYA Dear Karen, what a great thing to play the mantra in your home constantly. coincidentally, a couple of months ago i got a cd of the Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam, 1000 names of the Divine Mother, originally to help with my pronunciation of the mantras. but i then thought, i should just have this on repeat and play it all the time, day and night. it has made quite a difference i think. Mother's vibe, it's so high. this seems like a good idea for any mantra you wanted to use.

Since reading your words, MM is playing constantly in my home. In fact, right now it is playing both in my temple room and my office (on this computer as I write). And the rudraksha beads around my neck are amplifying MM's effects as you suggested! "Thank you" is a small response to the immensity of knowledge in your posting. > > All love, > Karen > - > Eleathea Barraclough > > Friday, September 24, 2004 3:00 PM > Re: Re:To Eleathea on healing effects of spirituality > > > MM is extremely powerful for healing.
