    To be so strong that nothing
    can disturb my peace of mind.

    To talk, health, happiness, and prosperity
    to every person I meet.

    To make all my friends feel
    that there is something worthwhile in them.

    To look at the sunny side of everything
    and make my optimism come true.

    To think only of the best, to work only for the best
    and to expect only the best.

    To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
    as I am about my own.

    To forget the mistakes of the past
    and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

    To wear a cheerful expression at all times
    and give a smile to every living creature I meet.

    To give so much time to improving myself
    that I have no time to criticize others.

    To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
    and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

    To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
    not in loud word, but in great deeds.

    To live in faith that the whole world is on my side,
    so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

    - Christian D. Larson

    • Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     Mantras are sounds, syllables, words or phrases which can create change. A saying from the Vedas states “Speech is the essence of humanity.” As such, our speech has the power to influence ourselves and our world through vibration and intent. The most well known mantra is Aum or Om. Kids and teens love to chant mantras. They offer a way to connect with their inner selves, to heal, to become grounded, to access hope and to increase positive emotions by stimulating the left hemisphere of the brain through their vibrations.

    Please enjoy Two-ey and Minty as they sing the mantraLoka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu from the indomitable Beth Lapides.

    Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu
    Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu
    Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu
    OM
    Shan’ti Shan’ti Shan’ti

    This chant means

    • Loka = world
    • Samasta = the whole/together
    • Sukino = the transcendal happiness
    • Bhavantu = let there be 
    • Shan’ti = peace

    or “May peace and happiness be unto the world.”

    Enjoy the trans-formative powers of this mantra anytime. This video will bring a smile to your face while the words will change your heart and perspective on the world. Om, Shan’ti.
