OM Moksha NAMAHA
Emotional freedom; liberation from samsara.
OM GAM GANAPATAYE NAMAHA
The powerful mantra "Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha" is used to inspire transformation. With roots in Hinduism, it is thought to call upon the energy of Ganesh —the elephant-headed deity who is widely revered as the remover of obstacles and lord of beginnings. Let's break down what each part of this mantra represents:
Om: Om, or aum, is the sound that represents the birth of the universe and the connection between all living beings.
Gam: Gam is the sound of the root chakra and it's thought to awaken energy at the base of the spine. According to Kundalini yoga, Ganesh resides in the first chakra, the root chakra, or Muladhara. Mula means "original," and adhara means "foundation," so the Muladhara chakra forms the root that supports our energy and action.
Ganapataye: Another name for Ganesh, the deity who removes obstacles. (For pronunciation, watch the video below.)
Namaha: A salutation, similar to namaste.

bhagavad gita
The Indweller - the Self, Atma - remains unaffected by worldly changes.
Weapons cannot cut it.
Fire cannot burn it.
Wind cannot dry it.
Water cannot wet it.
It is eternal and changeless.
It is unborn and never dies.
It is the groundstate of your existence.
It is the essence of who you are.
~ Combined excerpt from various translations of the Gita
MUSINGS OF THE MOON
It requires
faith,
curiosity
and courage
to see through
a new lens…
To fathom that
you may actually
be so much more
than your name,
your personality,
your appearance
……………..
I dare you
to go there…
~ Excerpt from the book by Jenna Ramondo
