Sometimes there is nothing to do but hope for a miracle. As I watch the story of tragedy unfold in Japan, just as I watched the earthquake in Haiti, the Tsunami in Indonesia, and Hurricane Katrina, once more I feel tears and a familiar stab hits my heart. As I see images from Japan, I remind myself that I cannot really know their grief. And yet, deep in my heart, I can feel it. The stab of loss and pain is there, quietly throbbing. Connected.
Yogi Bhajan gave Sutras, or teachings, for the Aquarian Age which begins December 21, 2012. We are in the cusp period right now and by 11.11.11 will be so deeply influenced by Aquarian energies that we will no longer feel much of the Piscean Age. Two of Yogi Bhajan's sutras have been running through my mind over and over this week, as I think of the Japanese: "Recognize that the other person is you" and "Understand with compassion or you will misunderstand the times." When I see people full of despair on TV, I know that there is no separation between us. I know that they deserve happiness and peace as much as I do. I pray for their relief and hold the light for them.
In times like these, when there is a tragedy so great your ache breaks with the thought of it, there is only one mantra that comes to my mind: the miracle mantra, which lives in the realm of the heart and operates on a frequency beyond comprehension. When I need miracles, and I think we all do right now more than ever, I call upon the "Dhan Dhan Ram Das Gur" mantra. It brings in the miraculous powers of Guru Ram Das, Lord of Miracles.

Chanting this mantra makes the impossible becomes possible. The Japanese could use some more "possible" right now, so it will be something I chant and dedicate to them. There are miracles happening everyday, if we have the good fortune to see them. I share this photo of a man reunited with his dog by a rescuer days after the Tsunami. Miracles happen. If we all chant together, maybe they can happen a little more.
Miracles happen...

Gurmukh, Gave me Dhan Dhan Ram Das Gur about 5 months ago to do as a mother’s blessing for my daughter who is suffering form an eating disorder. I do it every day with a picture of both my daughters and yogi Bhajan below my cupped hands. I will continue it as I feel it is such a gift to sit with cupped hands at the heart and just recieve whatever the universe has for us each day. Sat Nam
Sat Nam!
I would like to tell me what the most appropriate mantra to boost self confidence?
Thanks!
