Mantra for Fear of Change
Everybody is feeling it nowadays. You are either going through it or can see it on the horizon. You know what I'm talking about. The "C" word. Change.
Humankind is undergoing a period of incredible change. Many traditions believe we are shifting from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, and that change is bringing a whole new set of challenges and opportunities for us as a planet and a species. Right now we're in the cusp between the two ages...and the cusp can be a period of tremendous change, anxiety, and discomfort.
Change can be uncomfortable for the best of us. Think of the snake, as it is molting and undergoing a period of tremendous transformation, its eyes become clouded over and the snake can no longer see. It is blind. It lashes out in anger and rage, snapping at anything that comes close. Then as its skin sheds, it emerges from its old self with calm and poise, slithering out of its uncomfortable transition period into a more comfortable, expanded self.
Humans are like snakes in that during periods of transition and change, we become irritable, snappish and edgy. We lash out at our loved ones, behave in irrational ways, and worry. But we don't have to be this way. Change can be a beautiful and exciting time. We can look to an uncertain future with courage and a spirit of adventure.
There is a mantra to help us move from fear of change to boldness and courage. It removes feeling of anxiety, depression and phobias, leaving in its place courage and victory. Just like the snake leaves behind its old skin.
Try this mantra for fear of change:
Chattr chakkr vartee, chattr chakkr bhugatay
Suyumbhav subhang sarab daa sarab jugtay
Dukaalang pranaasee dayaalang saroopay
Sadaa ung sungay abhangang bibhootay
These words were written by the warrior saint Guru Gobind Singh and bring victory during changing times! Chant along with a recording or keep it playing in your house!

I feel a carmness come into my soul after an unsettleling week thank you.
Oh, my word! How appropriate.
Is there a particular posture or breath for this?
No Karen, there is no particular posture or breath for this one…just chant to your heart’s content!
Fabulous! Thank you
And another question, while I think about it: in one article on mantras (I believe it was about dealing with family stress during holidays), there was mention of the simple act of playing recordings of a mantra as changing and charging the atmosphere, disrupting unhealthy interactions. Am I right in understanding that *hearing* the mantras has an effect?
Absolutely hearing the mantras have an effect. You may feel differently if you simply listen or chant along…experiment for yourself…but the energy of the words creates a powerful vibration that is a real thing. This real thing, this positive uplifting vortex, can shift the energy in a space. Leave a mantra playing in your house all day when you’re out or play it softly while you sleep. Go to a sacred chant concert, play a CD while you drive. Then tell ME if just listening has an effect. Many blessings.
You’re so helpful – thank you, especially for getting back to me so quickly on a weekend!
My background’s in Neopaganism, so I’m used to the concept of shifting and transforming energy in a place through many means – it had never occurred to me, though, to use recordings of mantras, prayers, etc., to do it. I have to say, I love the way learning about Kundalini Yoga’s fitting into my life and providing so many useful tools that made so much sense to me.
I have been chanting the prosperity Hari Hari Hari. for a little while and I must tell you I believe in “magic” now. It brought prosperity to me almost immediately. I am a yoga teacher and I was offered more classes and now I am making overtime at work (where they were cutting our hours).
I am looking up chants for every situation in my life and I am telling everyone about your website.
Thank you so much for being such a blessing in my life.
