You are Just Like me

This is a short meditation on compassion in song form. All beings are like ourselves in that they want happiness and not suffering. We see our friends as like us, then strangers, enemies and all beings.

Ultimately, as we have had infinite incarnations every being we meet has at one point been our mother. Understanding this we can use the love that we feel for our mother, who was so infinitely kind to us as we grew up and feel this towards all beings.

Hey Amba

This is a chant to the Goddess, the universal mother Amba. Who brings awarness and bliss. Gratitude to her for our physical existance.

Jaya Rhada-Madhava

This kirtan is about Krishna in vrindaven – the pure land. It speaks of his love for his consort and all the Gopis and their love for him. We can use this mantra to help us to see the purity and perfection in all, it teaches us to love not because the other is a manifestation of the divine but just because. Pure unconditional love for no reason. Perhaps this is pointing to the nature of our soul and the unity consciousness that is pure love.

Twameva Mata

This is a very special piece of music for me. It is in Sanskrit, one of the oldest languages on the planet, and it is called Twameva Mata. it is used as part of the Ganpati Aarti. I have sung it for many years around campfires and for the sunrise. It fills me with wonderful memories when I sing it. It helps me feel truly connected to all life and to see the wonder in all. I hope it helps you feel the love.

I dedicate this particularly to all those who knew me in the Rainbow Fayre and Rainbow gathering period of my life. We had many wonderful hours singing this and other songs together around the campfire with our voices united in song.

Om Mani Peme Hum 1hr version

This is a slightly different version of the other Om mani peme hum I did a while ago. I changed a part of it so it is purely om mani peme hum and doubled the length of it. I also added a couple of vocal tracks from River and Reiner.

Vajrasatva Mantra

This is the vajrasatva mantra. It has been used for centuries to purify negative karma. The person wishing to clear negative karma would contemplate their day and recall positive and negative actions and speach. They would rejoice at their positive actions but regret the negative ones and with this power of regret apply the remedy of repeating the mantra whilst visualising Vajrasatva above their heads pouring down cleansing white light. This light would cleanse the body and mind completely of all negaitve karma. Carried out on a daily basis this is a very powerful practic that can help us make our lives more conscious and help us to become more kind and compassionate people. As the mantra has been repeated billions of times there is a powerful energy field in the collctive unconscious that we can tap into to assist us purifying ourselves.

Medicine Buddha Mantra

This is the Medicine Buddha Mantra. It invokes the energy of healing from illness and the great illness of ignorance.

The words of the mantra are…

Tayata Om Bekanze Bekanze Maha Bekanze Raja Samugate Soha

Do away with illness. Do away with illness. Do away with the great illness of the ignorance of our True Nature

Om mani peme hum

The short Mantra of the Bodhisatva Avoloketesvara, Om mani Peme Hum or Om Mani Padme Hum, has been recited for centuries and carries the vibration of compassion of the Buddhas. By reciting it we connect to that energy field. It is said that the six syllables of this mantra contain all the teachings of the Buddhas.

As we listen we can imagine ourselves being cleansed by the white light of Chenrezig and the vibration of the mantra, and him dissolving into us and then sending that light of compassion of kindness out to all beings so that all beings become liberated from suffering.

By reciting it and connecting with that energy we can empower the energy of compassion within ourselves so that we can become more kind and compassionate. We have added an English Mantra I am the Ebb, I am the flow, I am all life letting go. We hope you enjoy it and find benefit from this music
