Meditation....ohmmmmmmmmmm

Tonight been to an excellent Yoga session - God how I love Yoga and indeed the teacher who teaches it; such a spiritual person is she and totally on my wavelength regarding nature and spirituality.
Tonight involved some deep meditative chanting...in a large echoey room, which made the voices of everyone in the class, vibrate off the walls! How wonderful to hear chanting voices!
Anyway the mantra consisted of -

Om bhur bhuvah shava
tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dhimahi
dhiyo yo naha pratyodyat

which translates as-

Earth, atmosphere heavens
we meditate on the sacred light
of the effulgent source
let that inspire our thoughts.

So there you go, if you feel the need for a grounding mantra - try it!
