Chanting

Tryambakam Mantra

Om tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭivardhanam 

urvārukamiva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya maamṛtāt

This is a powerful healing and calming mantra. Instead of worrying, meditate or listen to mantras. One meaning is ‘we revere the one, Lord Shiva, who gives his complete fullness ti all and can restore us to good health’.

Recorded in the ashram a few years ago this is one of the most beautiful chants.
