This morning my mom and I had a sort of row (I love that word!) over various personal things. I am sure all of you out there that are, or once where teens know exactly what I mean. Well I got very emotional and was crying when I got on the bus, I continued to cry, huddled in my seat, staring out the window for a couple minutes. I took out my mala and clutched it, thinking how unfair it all was and going on and on in my head. As Swamiji would would say a visous cycle. Without thinking in my mind about I started to chant the Guru Mantra (Om Hreem Nithyanandaya Namaha) it was like either my unconcious, or excistence, or Swamiji, or God made me do it, I had no part in this but I felt better. First I was chanting through tears, those dried up and then I chanted through shaky breath and when my breath became steady I simply chanted.
We arrived at school and I got off the bus and in the still dark morning air walked into the doors. And I was fine and had a great day
By the way Happy Saint Patty's Day!!!!
