What happens when we chant OM? 🌀


Hi, Reader —

I hope your long weekend was sweet, and that you spent some time soaking in this beautiful weather and the last bits of summer.

Yes, yes, I know – the fall equinox isn’t for another couple of weeks, and the lived end of summer comes now, don’t you think? So many of us return to routine, that natural shift in rhythm that happens this time of year, whether we’re ready or not! It can be a busy time!

Which makes it such an ideal time to find your footing – find that anchor – with a meditation practice.

On Saturday, we gathered at Morpho Bleu for Let’s Meditate, and it was such a sweet morning. We explored the power of sound and our own voice as tools for meditation.

If you’ve ever wondered why we sometimes chant OM in a yoga class, we took time to explore what happens when we work with sounds like OM and other mantras, alongside the simplicity of our breath.

If you missed it and you’re curious, you can still watch the replay!

I also made a little booklet to go with it, with the mantras and some of what we explored together:

And, of course, the music:

One of the things that came up on Saturday was how often the challenge with meditation isn’t actually knowing what to do. It’s returning to it.

How do we remove some of the obstacles and make it easier to simply begin again?

That’s a big part of why I created The Imprint, and our fall practice begins Monday, September 14.

If Let’s Meditate gives you a taste of the practice, The Imprint gives you a way to go deeper. For five days, you don’t have to decide what meditation to do or figure out how to fit it all together. You simply start, I guide you every step of the way, and we begin to create some consistency – in community.

Because that’s where the practice begins to become a habit – not because you suddenly have more willpower, but because you’ve made it easier to come back.

Whether you join me Monday or spend some time with this replay, I hope you find a little space to listen and notice what you need as we move toward fall.

So much love,
Sara

Hey there, Reader — A sunny start to October here in Montreal! Did September feel like a blur to you? It sure did for me, and I can also feel myself settling into autumn. Libra season began a few weeks ago, and its New Moon arrives at just the right time for us to take a beat after such a busy month, set intentions and look inward a little deeper. If you were at the Equinox classes at Morpho Bleu, you heard Astro Auntie, Sarah L'hrar, say that Libra marks the shift in the astrological...
