The first time I really understood the power of chanting I was in the middle of my IVF journey trying to conceive my second child.
My mum gave me a Ganesha the remover of obstacles. And I held onto that with everything I had.
What I didn’t know then was that years of suppressed emotion were stored in my womb. Grief. Shame. Things I had never let myself feel let alone speak. My body was holding all of it and it needed to move before it could create.
Chanting became the thing that moved it. Definitely not because I understood the science or actually anything really about chanting but something in me knew that sound could reach the places nothing else could and I needed that hope
It grounded me and it helped me surrender to something bigger than what I thought should be happening or what I wanted to happen…. Hello ego 🫣
And slowly through the chanting, through the releasing, through finally letting my voice carry what my body had been holding in silence my womb began to open.
My son is seven now.
If you have been holding something in your body that you don’t have words for yet this is your invitation to let it move through sound first.
Om Namo Narayani.
I surrender to the divine mother.
If you want to explore this together, I hold a monthly circle on the new moon. Details in bio
