All messages reach the same address! I Love you,Nik nikki@curlynikki.com"Don't consider chanting the name to be a mere practice. The Name itself is God."-Muktananda"Ram's form left this world, Krishna's form left this world, but the name stays. By reciting his name, everything is achieved." Shaking his head, he reiterated, "Everything is achieved."-Maharajji "Chanting is the means of attaining everything. Through chanting, you are purified on the inside. Through chanting, love arises. If love arises, it means that you have attained God, because God's true nature is love. You sing His name so that love will arise. No good deed can equal chanting. Tulsidas said that by chanting the Name of God everything becomes pure and auspicious."-Muktananda "From the fruits of his mouth a man fills his stomach, And from the fruits of his lips he will fill himself to the full.Life and death are in the hand of a tongue, And those who rule over it will eat thefruits thereof."-Proverbs 18: 20-21CHALLENGE RULESEach day (beginning 4/26):1. Wake up an hour earlier to chant (think of it like your actual job that will pay you actual dollars) at least 12 rounds on your mala/prayer beads while hearing the words clearly. Hear the Names of God, even though your mind will be split and doing/thinking about other things. Keep bringing your attention back to the sound of the Name. That's all. Keep coming back to the Sound on your tongue and silence in your head. 2. Chant your last 4 rounds in the evening before bed. Throughout the day, allow your attention to be directed toward the mantra which will still be running in the background-- let It hangout in the foreground as you run errands, eat, drive, shower, etc. When you're home doing it formally, you can chant it just barely audibly, or loudly if you choose, but while out, you can keep it going silently within, or just allow your lips to move slightly with no sound. And that's it! We're starting with a week so you can 'try it on', but if you keep it up for at least 6 months, you'll drastically change your entire life for the better!  Support the show
