I am

Ma Aham Anam Ma Aham Pranam Ma Aham Manaha Ma Aham Vignanam Ma Aham Anandam

A friend of mine chanted this to me a few weeks ago. I sing it daily. It makes me feel me.

It translates to:

I am (my) body I am energy I am changing mind I am eternal wisdom/knowledge I am eternal bliss

Chanting in Sanskrit is so much more scientific/energetic than religious for me. The vibration of this ancient language really opens me up and massages me on a molecular level. Without even knowing the translation, singing in sankrit helps me re-member what I are, whatI am made of/from (light and freedom). It speaks to the space that dwells within our atoms. I see it as sound meeting physical and creating a vast pallette for creating who I am and what I do.
