An Online 9-Day Supported Mantra Practice
Created and Offered by Rajeshwari Gretchen Carmel
(Senior Teacher in the lineage of Namadeva Acharya, Thomas Ashley-Farrand)

December 13-21, 2021

Namaste,
You are invited to join me in a very powerful and sacred 9-day supported mantra practice. The repetition of mantra, called Japa, is an ancient meditative tool which can reduce karma and ease suffering, bringing us closer to our true potential.
Anyone can practice mantra. You do not need to have any previous experience with yoga or mantra or have any specific spiritual belief to fully receive the benefits.

 
ABOUT THIS PRACTICE: 
WINTER SOLSTICE ABUNDANCE
Mantras of Lakshmi
with Daily LIVE Teachings and Meditation

The Winter Solstice marks the official start of Winter. We have our shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere in terms of daylight.
The term “solstice” comes from the Latin words sol (Sun) and sistere (to stand still) because, during the solstice, the angle between the Sun’s rays and the plane of the Earth’s equator (called declination) appears to stand still.
Upon the winter solstice, the Sun appears at its lowest in the sky, and its noontime elevation seems to stay the same for several days before and after this day. The Sun’s gradual decrease in the sky reverses upon the winter solstice, marking what many cultures believe to be a “rebirth” of the Sun as the hours of daylight become longer.

In this Online 9-Day Supported Mantra Practice, we welcome the "rebirth" and the return of the Sun, the light, and rest in the lap of the goddess Lakshmi, the "shimmering one." Abundance of health, strength, positive thoughts and new ideas surface to bring a surge of well-being and confidence.
The winter solstice for the Northern Hemisphere occurs on Tuesday, December 21, 2021 at 10:59 a.m. EST.

We chant, we visualize, we meditate, we manifest.

Being reminded of the deep well of abundance and connection within and around us is vital during these times. It gives us an anchor to rest upon, a wellspring to relax into, a familiar, safe refuge.
Chanting the ancient vibrations of Sanskrit in a collective group, we will build the energy internally, bathe in light and expand/utilize these energies in whatever form is needed in our individual lives. In doing so, we effect all beings.

Testimonials

"Raji is an angelic human being; she is serviceful, mindful and loving."
-Snatam Kaur and Sopurkh Singh

"The care and love that shine through Raji's teachings are great blessings to all. "
-Brenda McMorrow

 "There is no one I would want to study with more. I recommend Raji to all my students who want guidance in their individual mantra practice."
-Bhavani Lorraine Nelson

“This is the first time I have experienced the transformative power of a stacked mantra and Likhita japa practice. During and since it ended, I have felt an inner strength and peace that I haven’t experienced before, an invisible infra-structure that is supporting me throughout the day, even without my calling on it! I especially enjoy chanting with Rajeshwari on the recordings sent, and feel part of an ongoing spiritual community I have been praying for."
-Sita Howard
 
“I have completed two forty day supported mantra practices with Rajeshwari. Although I was practicing at a distance, I felt energetically connected with her and with the group, especially when I chanted along to the mantra recordings. I appreciated Rajeshwari’s tender care for the group, the way she carefully designed each mantra sequence, and gave us information about the mantras bit by bit, so as not to overload. I also admired her passion, knowledge and availability to answer questions. With each forty day practice, I felt an energetic shift in my life as the old fell away and the new (aligned with my heart’s true desires) manifested. I highly recommend Rajeshwari as a knowledgeable, compassionate teacher.”
-Janis McCallen
