Beginning Practice
3 months ago
I’ve began chanting about a month ago. I read a statement about ‘stuff floating up’. I think that chanting is not only helping to cultivate the positive attributes within, but it is also forcing me to look at and to face some of the negative, ingrained behaviors that I have used to cope with life- none of which have proved effective! The crap that I have held on to amazes me. Even though I know it is ‘crap’ I tend to want to hold on to it…maybe that is why at first, the disipline to chant is so difficult- it is asking you to change these things, it is asking you to let go so that you may have peace.
Chanting is definitely worth devoting energy to- after all it is devoting pure energy to yourself. Peace be to everyone!
