Matangi Mantra
Om Mantangyai Phat Swaha
creativity, transgressiveness, freedom, expression, humility, skill, friendliness
Fire
This is a virtual fire ceremony so you can participate simply by engaging with your heart during the video.
After 108 mantras, the video ends. This is a time for you to sit in meditation and integrate your experience with the energy of Matangi.
You also have the option to:
Light a candle so you have the element of fire physically present with you as well.
Use your mala (if have) and chant Om Hreem Kleem Hum Mantangyai Phat Swaha 108x with me. This is a slightly longer mantra than the one you can use for your personal fire or japa practice.
Create your own personal fire ceremony and offer rice after each mantra along with me. Here is the video link for creating a personal fire ceremony.
Meditation
Matangi Meditation Reflection:
Do you remember what it felt like to follow your own rhythm? Can you write instances as specifically as possible? How do those memories make your body feel right now?
Do you recall times in your life when you shut your creativity or individuality down to fit in or please others? What sensations does that bring up in your body right now?
What might the energy of Matangi allow you to do that you haven’t thought possible or acceptable?
Thou art the dark blue butterfly, and the green parrot with red eyes. The thundercloud, the seasons, and the ocean. Thou art without beginning and beyond all time and space.
— Shvetashvatara Upanishad
