It is 4 lines...11 words (but long ones, in Sanskrit). It took me well over a month to memorize. You're supposed to chant the mantra 40 times in succession for health and well being. I usually fall asleep 35 times short of the goal. I think that's because there's not much left in my elderly brain, nothing to clear.Jan Blawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697621979002856884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-4720892557676413552014-12-11T00:46:29.539+00:002014-12-11T00:46:29.539+00:00I couldn't even begin to think about sitting c...I couldn't even begin to think about sitting cross-legged like that fellow these days.

Mindfulness "meditations" seem to be the rage here ~ and I am sure it takes practice to master the art of quietening those rampant thoughts.

If I'm over half way to solving it then when I wake up, I have the first espresso and Marlboro; before my porridge is cooked I know the solution. It works more often than not.<br /> You have hit upon a whole new lifestyle. It is problem solving nirvana. You could be on TV and a multi-millionaire. Perhaps not you would have to live in America and screw nubile eighteen year olds, they have so many silly religions and cults there that it may be a problem finding a slot. Life is not clear cut or easy.<br />PS. Did I spell cults correctly?
