THE DANCE OF SHIVA NATARAJ

Release & Rebirth through the Divine Comic Dancer

An Online 40-day Mantra Meditation Practice

with Rajeshwari Gretchen Carmel

Dec. 1 - Jan. 9, 2025


An opportunity to re-evaluate. Focus on what brings abundance, connect with your true divinity and move into the energy which feeds your highest good. Step into the New Year with mantras of Shiva and Ganesha to release the old and welcome new beginnings. 


Namaste,

You are invited to join me in a very powerful and sacred Online 40-Day Supported Mantra Discipline, which includes Mantra Japa and Guided Meditation. The repetition of mantra, Mantra Japa, is an ancient meditative tool which can reduce karma and ease suffering, bringing you closer to your 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: 

Shiva Nataraj is a depiction of Shiva as the Divine Cosmic Dancer, using a dance called Tandava. This dance of Shiva is vigorous and is a source of the cycle of creation, preservation and dissolution.

This cycle of Release and Rebirth is a constant theme to our lives. Every moment, every day, every month, every season, every year and every lifetime! Having the ability to move through times of transition with an open-heart and trust allows ease, comfort and acceptance into what can sometimes be challenging times.


Can you dance through the flames?


This practice of Mantra and Guided Meditation will allow you to:


  • Feel the manifestation of primal rhythmic energy for vitality and a healthy immune system,
  • Develop one-pointed focus, concentration and clarity,
  • Heal past wounds and patterns that no longer bring you joy,
  • Establish trust and confidence on your spiritual path,
  • Cultivate acceptance and total well-being,
  • Connect with the elements of nature (earth, water, fire, air, ether) for healing on all levels,
  • Step into 2025 with peace and ease.



A brief summary:

Mantra Japa Practice with recordings-you will receive a specific stack of Sanskrit mantras with instructions, plus recordings of the mantras.


Weekly Newsletters-you will receive Weekly Newsletters with inspirational teachings, images and quotes and a detailed break-down of all the Sanskrit mantras with their meanings and applications.


3 Live Zoom Calls-within the 40-days, we will join together with Live Zoom Calls. They include Group Chanting, Guided Healing Meditations and Q & A. These Live Zoom Calls are scheduled for Dec. 1, Dec. 19 and Jan. 9 at 7pm ET. They will be recorded for your convenience in case you cannot attend them Live.


Guided Healing Meditations-during the Live Zoom Calls, you will be guided through visual meditations to: 1) help you feel grounded and at ease, 2) assist in creating intentions for the practice, 3) bring awareness to your next steps towards manifesting what you truly want and 4) guide you to heart-opening love and deep inner peace.


Daily Collective Healing Group Energy-chanting the ancient vibrations of Sanskrit in a collective group, in the same 40-days, 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 affect all beings.


Being reminded of the deep well of abundance and connection within and around you is vital during these times. It gives you an anchor to rest upon, a wellspring to relax into, a familiar, safe refuge.


Whether you seek balance in the areas of physical or mental health, finances/career, relationships or spiritual advancement/illumination, mantra disciplines give you the opportunity to accelerate the journey of personal transformation.


Here's how this 40-Day Supported Mantra Practice works:

On the evening of Nov. 30th you will receive the Sanskrit mantra practice in its entirety online with recordings of the mantras and details on the practice. There are varying lengths to the practice which range anywhere from 2-30 minutes. You can choose which form is best for you. The mantras do not change.


The mantras are then chanted daily, on your own time, at your convenience, for 40-days from Dec. 1 - Jan. 9, 2025.


You'll be participating with like-minded folks all around the globe. 


Materials for this practice will be sent out on the evening of Nov. 30th.


Chanting in this way as a group, with the same mantras during the same 40-day period, can bring tremendous results. The energetic support intensifies the practice and brings great possibility for growth and life changes.


I look forward to sharing this journey with you!

In Love and Service,

Rajeshwari

Testimonials

from 21-and 40-day participants...


“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."


“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.”


“What can I say about my experiences with Raji? I love them. Her patience and thoughtfulness with answering questions is helpful, reminding me not to be so literal and to trust has been invaluable. Raji has supported me with guidance from afar, with supporting a mentality to believe as much as I could that events were working in the ways I needed them to.

Chanting has helped me center. I can’t believe how easy it is for me to sit and breath and focus. I’ve been practicing yoga on and off for 12 years and now I can combine breath work with postures, consistently. I am excited to be a part of the 40-day mantra practices.”


"Raji’s intuitive knowledge and ability to apply it to me was amazing. What I have learned is timeless. I am more confident in how to use these practices. I added to my growth potential by working with Raji individually."
