The Gayatri Mantra, written as ‘Gāyatrī’ when transliterated, is one of the most revered and powerful mantras in Hindu tradition. Known for its profound spiritual significance, this mantra is often called the “Mother of all Mantras” or “Mantra of the Sun.” It is a prayer for inner illumination, guiding the practitioner to a deeper connection with the light of divine wisdom. It is a mantra that holds the key to unlocking the full potential of one’s consciousness, helping to dispel ignorance and bring clarity of mind.
Meaning of the Gayatri Mantra
The Gayatri Mantra is a prayer of deep reverence and meditation. It invites the light of the divine to illuminate our intellect and guide our hearts and minds toward wisdom. In essence, it is a prayer for spiritual awakening.
IAST Transliterated Version
The Gāyatrī Mantra in the IAST (International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration) system is as follows:
Oṁ Bhūr Bhuvaḥ Svaḥ
Tat Savitur Vareṇyaṁ
Bhargo Devasya Dhīmahi
Dhiyo Yo Nāḥ Prachodayāt.
This transliteration allows for an accurate representation of the mantra’s sacred Sanskrit syllables, helping practitioners preserve the sound and power of the mantra as it was originally intended. It ensures that each sound is recited with precision, enhancing the transformative power of the mantra.
Oṁ Bhūr Bhuvaḥ Svaḥ – The Great Utterance
The first line of the mantra: Oṁ Bhūr Bhuvaḥ Svaḥ is said to be ‘the great utterance’ by Brahmā at the beginning of creation, and is always used with the mantra.
Translation:
“We meditate on the divine light of the Supreme Being, who permeates the earth, the atmosphere, and the heavens. May this divine light inspire and illuminate our intellects.”
At its core, the Gayatri Mantra is an invocation to the divine light (often associated with the sun) to illuminate our inner being. It is a request for the purification of the mind, body, and spirit, fostering clarity and awareness. It connects us to the greater consciousness of the universe, drawing us closer to the light of truth.
The Meter of Timing – “Gayatri”
The Gayatri Mantra is also named after its meter, known as “Gayatri.” In ancient Sanskrit poetry, “Gayatri” refers to a specific rhythmic structure that consists of 24 syllables divided into three lines of eight syllables each. This rhythm creates a harmonious flow, allowing the mantra to be chanted in a meditative cadence, aligning the body and mind with the divine energy. The precise meter aids in the smooth passage of energy during recitation, making it especially powerful.
Origins of the Gāyatrī Mantra
The Gāyatrī Mantra is attributed to Sage Vishvamitra, one of the great rishis (sages) of ancient India. According to tradition, Sage Vishvamitra, through intense meditation and spiritual discipline, received the Gāyatrī Mantra as a divine revelation. He is said to have transmitted this mantra to his disciples, who passed it down through generations. The mantra’s potency is said to be magnified by its direct connection to the divine wisdom received by Sage Vishvamitra.
Learn the Gāyatrī Mantra
Learning any mantra is a deeply personal journey, and it’s best approached with mindfulness and respect for its spiritual significance. Chanting the Gāyatrī Mantra with accurate timing, breath, and pronunciation allows you to experience the full effect of this ancient prayer.
To chant the mantra effectively, begin by sitting in a comfortable position with your spine straight and your breath steady. You can either chant silently or aloud, focusing on the sound and meaning of each syllable. Pay attention to the following key elements:

Breath: Coordinate your breath with the chant, ensuring that you breathe in deeply before each chant and exhale gently as you utter each syllable.
Pronunciation: Mantra is more powerful when pronounced correctly. Pay careful attention to the subtle sounds of each syllable to honor the integrity of the mantra. If you’d like to know more about this please get in touch to discuss mantra coaching with me.

Emotional Healing
The Power of TMRT: Emotional Healing, Freeing Yourself from Painful Patterns
Imagine carrying a heavy backpack filled with large boulders everywhere you go. These boulders represent the unresolved negative emotions stored in your psyche. They weigh you down, drain your energy, and prevent you from fully stepping into the future you deserve. The simple truth is that when we suppress feelings we never had the resources to resolve, it takes an enormous toll on our well-being. Emotional healing and emotional freedom is possible despite the challenges we’ve had to navigate.
Unresolved negative memories don’t just affect our mood or mental health; they impact our physical health too. Research has shown that deeply ingrained negative memories can weaken the immune system and contribute to severe illness and dis-ease conditions.
When our emotional health is imbalanced, people often turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as substance abuse, food addiction, or even emotional shutdown, in an attempt to numb the pain. A staggering statistic reveals that three-quarters of addicts have unresolved childhood trauma that has shaped their adult struggles.
So how do we free ourselves from these painful patterns?
One method is through a powerful, gentle, and permanent approach: Trauma Memory Resolution Technique (TMRT). TMRT offers a way to reset our emotional landscape without having to relive or even verbally express past traumas.
A Safe and Confidential Process
One of the most remarkable aspects of TMRT is that it is completely content-free. That means you never have to talk about the painful memories. There’s no reliving the trauma, no endless talk fest — but a powerful internal shift and emotional healing. This level of confidentiality provides a safe space for those who may feel hesitant or unable to articulate their past pain.
How Does TMRT Work?
TMRT works by targeting how we store traumatic memories in our nervous system. Through a combination of specific eye movement patterns and meta-resourcing techniques, we can disrupt and scramble the way these memories were originally encoded. Once the process is complete, the emotional charge connected to these memories is permanently altered. Through this emotional healing, you’ll never experience them in the same painful way again.
Even more incredibly, the limiting beliefs that were formed as a result of these traumatic events also lose their emotional grip. Instead of being defined by the pain of the past, you gain the freedom to reshape your beliefs and behaviour from a place of neutrality and clarity.
Imagine a New Reality
Take a moment to consider: What if all the experiences that once hurt you, haunted you, or made you feel unworthy became nothing more than black-and-white photos in an old album? What if the emotions attached to them were neutral? Who would you become? What possibilities would open up for you?
What impact would this have on those around you? Rather than being a model for pain, despair, avoidance, or disconnection, you could be fully present, joyful, and emotionally free. Imagine being able to model such emotional freedom for your children who internalise the patterns they see and model your internal state – what an incredible freeing experience with long lasting ripples.
Step into Emotional Freedom
TMRT offers a powerful path to breaking free from the past and embracing a future filled with clarity, energy, and joy. By permanently resolving past traumas, you can reclaim your emotional well-being and step into the life you were meant to live—fully awake, fully alive, and free.
Are you ready to release the weight of the past and create a new future?

This is where your healing begins.
How It Works
Trauma memory resolution focuses on addressing and clearing compounded negative memories, including acute memories, long-term stresses, and even future fears. Through a series of eye pattern movements and meta resource reimprinting, the process allows you to:

Boost Your Health Naturally with Sound Yoga, Humming, and Nitric Oxide
The ancient practice of sound yoga or nāda yoga is a deeply transcendant and transformational art that can connect us to profound levels of deep soul connection.
This article focuses on one element of the practice, exploring how sound yoga and humming, and the production of sounds that generate vibration through the nasal region, results in the stimulation of nasal nitric oxide production.
This simple and powerful holistic practice has many health benefits. It can support us to calm the mind but also has profound physiological effects enhancing well-being.
What is Sound Yoga?
Sound yoga, also known as nāda yoga, is the practice of using sound vibrations as a form of meditation, inner connection and healing. A practice might involve the focus and inner attunement to specific sounds, tones, or vibrations to harmonise the body and mind, and to enliven our spirit. These sounds can be in the form of music, mantras, or through vibrations such as humming.
The Science Behind Humming and Nitric Oxide Production
Nitric oxide is a molecule produced in the body, particularly in the nasal passages. It plays a key role in various physiological processes, including vasodilation, immune function, and neurotransmission. One of the most remarkable aspects of nitric oxide is its ability to dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body.
Humming, as it turns out, is a powerful way to stimulate the production of nasal nitric oxide. Research has shown that humming increases the resonance in the airways, leading to a significant increase in nitric oxide levels. A study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine[i] found that humming can increase nasal nitric oxide levels by 15 to 20 times compared to quiet breathing.
Ancient Technology
Unsurprisingly this practice has been known by ancient yogis, and cultivated through the practice of Bhramari prāṇāyāma – the buzzing bee breath. It’s inbuilt into ancient sound technology. For example, when we chant the Sanskrit sound Oṁ, we are also activating the production of vibrations through the nasal region, through the ‘m’ in that sound.
How Does This Benefit Your Health?
Nitric oxide has antimicrobial properties that help to neutralize pathogens in the respiratory system. By boosting nitric oxide levels through humming, you can support your body’s natural defense against infections and improve overall respiratory health.
The vasodilating effect of nitric oxide leads to improved blood flow, which can enhance cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure, and increase oxygen delivery to tissues. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with conditions like hypertension or those seeking to improve athletic performance.
Nitric oxide is a critical component of the immune response. It helps to modulate the immune system, reducing inflammation and supporting the body’s ability to fight off infections and diseases.
Sound yoga, including humming, is inherently calming. The vibrations created during humming can stimulate the vagus nerve, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. This can lead to improved mental clarity, better sleep, and a greater sense of well-being.
Humming creates vibrations in the sinuses, which can help to clear mucus and improve sinus drainage. This can be particularly beneficial for those who suffer from chronic sinus issues or allergies.
How to Incorporate Humming into Your Daily Routine
Incorporating humming into your daily routine is simple and can be done almost anywhere. Here’s a basic guide to get started:
Start by finding a quiet, comfortable space where you can sit or lie down without distractions.
Take a few deep breaths to centre yourself and bring your attention to your breathing.
Close your mouth, lips gently together, have the tongue nice and relaxed on the floor of your mouth. Produce a gentle ‘mmm’ sound on the exhalation. It’s important to breathe through the nose. Focus on the vibration in your nasal passages. You can hum for a few minutes or as long as you feel comfortable. Even 5 minutes can support an inner shift.
You can experiment with different tones or pitches to see what feels best for you. Lower tones may create a more grounding vibration, while higher tones may feel lighter and more energizing.
The use of a bed of sound can support you to feel more comfortable in the practice and to help us drop into a more meditative and inwards state. You can find a tānpūrā drone in G# to support your practice in the online shop.
Consider incorporating humming into your yoga or meditation practice for a more comprehensive experience. You can also try humming in combination with specific yoga poses that open the chest and throat.

Final Thoughts
The practice of sound yoga and humming offers a simple yet powerful way to enhance your health and well-being. By stimulating the production of nasal nitric oxide, humming can improve respiratory function, circulation, immune response, and mental clarity. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or new to holistic practices, incorporating humming into your daily routine can provide profound benefits for your body and mind. So, take a deep breath, hum a little, and let the healing vibrations of sound yoga transform your health.

Learn Mantra: Unlocking the Power of Sacred Sounds
Learn mantra and change your world! Mantra practice is a transformative journey that opens the door to deeper soul connection and spiritual awakening. I recall one student who, after a few weeks of consistent chanting, shared how it helped them release long-held emotional blocks and experience a newfound sense of inner peace and clarity. This ancient art, rooted in many of the world’s great spiritual traditions, is a gateway to inner peace, personal growth, and higher consciousness.
What Is a Mantra?
At its core, a mantra is a sacred sound, word, or phrase repeated to focus the mind and harness the energy of cosmic vibrations. This practice goes beyond mere words; it taps into the profound power of sound to heal, transform, and elevate.
One of my favourite descriptions of mantra comes from the American Institute of Vedic Studies:
This quote encapsulates the essence of mantra practice—it’s a living, dynamic force that deepens our connection to ourselves and the universe.
The Transformative Power of Mantra Practice
Engaging in mantra practice has been one of the most life-changing experiences of my spiritual journey. The repetition of sacred sounds acts as a bridge to the soul, quieting the mind and awakening inner wisdom.
Through years of practice, I’ve discovered the joy of sharing this ancient art with others. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, mantra practice offers endless opportunities for growth and transformation.
Why Proper Sanskrit Pronunciation Matters
When learning mantra, especially in Sanskrit, the correct pronunciation of sounds is crucial. Sanskrit is a vibrational language, and the power of its mantras lies in their precise articulation. Mispronunciations can dilute the energy and intention of the mantra.
Understanding the nuances of Sanskrit pronunciation—the five mouth positions, the timing of sounds, and the role of breath—can profoundly impact your mantra practice. Aligning with the authentic vibrations allows you to fully engage with the transformative power of these sacred sounds.

The Benefits of Trauma Memory Resolution Technique (TMRT) for Healing Traumatic Memories
Understanding trauma is the first step toward true healing. For many, the weight of traumatic memories—especially those rooted in childhood—can feel overwhelming and insurmountable. Whether you’re exploring how to work through childhood trauma or seeking strategies on how to overcome it, the Trauma Memory Resolution Technique (TMRT) offers a powerful pathway to recovery.
The Challenge of Trauma
Trauma leaves an indelible mark on the mind and body. When unresolved, it can manifest as emotional distress, physical symptoms, and behavioral patterns that disrupt daily life. If you’ve ever wondered how to get over childhood trauma, you’re not alone. Many individuals struggle with repressed memories, flashbacks, and a deep sense of vulnerability.
What is TMRT?
TMRT, or Trauma Memory Resolution Technique, is a gentle yet effective trauma processing technique designed to help individuals address and resolve the root causes of their pain. Unlike traditional talk therapy, TMRT integrates somatic awareness, eye pattern movements and meta resources to facilitate deep transformation. By focusing on the mind-body connection, this technique empowers individuals to release the templating of traumatic memories without re-experiencing the full story.
How TMRT Helps Resolve Childhood Trauma
Childhood trauma often shapes how we perceive the world and ourselves. TMRT offers a safe space to explore those formative experiences and rewrite the narratives attached to them. Here are some ways it can help:
1. Identifying Core Wounds: TMRT guides individuals to pinpoint the specific memories or emotions at the root of their trauma.
2. Facilitating Emotional Release: One of the signs your body is releasing stuck energy and emotion during TMRT sessions is a sense of lightness, tears, or even physical sensations like tingling, warmth, yawning, burping, or a sense of tiredness – almost like releasing the fatigue of having held down all the heavy energy.
3. Neutralising Negative Beliefs: Childhood trauma often instills limiting beliefs. TMRT offers a mechanism for releasing the templating of what was installed in your nervous system at the time of challenging events, offering a process for establishing affirming, positive thought patterns.
4. Strengthening Resilience: By addressing unresolved memories, TMRT fosters emotional resilience and a renewed sense of self-worth.
The Science of Trauma Processing Techniques
TMRT aligns with cutting-edge research on how to deal with traumatic memories. It emphasises:
Signs Your Body is Releasing Stuck Energy From Traumatic Memories
As you progress through TMRT sessions, you may notice:
These are all indicators that your body is processing and releasing stored energy.
Why TMRT Stands Out
Unlike other trauma processing techniques, TMRT is uniquely tailored to help individuals feel empowered and in control. By gently addressing the underlying memories, it avoids retraumatisation and promotes sustainable healing. Whether you’re navigating how to deal with traumatic memories or seeking holistic solutions, TMRT offers a compassionate and effective approach.
Taking the First Step
Healing from trauma is a journey, not a destination. If you’ve been searching for ways to understand trauma and regain your sense of self, TMRT could be the key to unlocking your inner peace. By learning how to work through childhood trauma with TMRT, you’re taking a powerful step toward a brighter, more resilient future.

Cymatics: How Sound and Thoughts Influence Vibrations and Reality
Have you ever wondered if sound could be visualised? The mesmerising world of cymatics demonstrates how every note, every beat, and every sound can create beautiful, intricate patterns.
What is Cymatics?
Cymatics is the study of visible sound vibration and its patterns. The term comes from the Greek word “kyma,” meaning wave, and was popularized by Swiss medical doctor and natural scientist Hans Jenny in the 1960s. By placing substances like sand or water on a vibrating plate and using specific frequencies, Jenny demonstrated that sound could produce complex geometric patterns.
How Cymatic Patterns are Created
Imagine a thin layer of sand on a metal plate connected to a frequency generator. As the frequency changes, the sand arranges itself into different patterns. Higher frequencies typically produce more intricate designs. The same can be done with water, where sound waves create dynamic, ever-changing shapes on the water’s surface.
Check out these YouTube videos from Nigel Stanford, Go Experimental and The Amazing Resonance Experiment for amazing visual representations of cymatic patterns created with different frequencies, and the effect of coming into resonance.
Masaru Emoto: The Hidden Messages in Water
Japanese researcher Masaru Emoto researched the effect of vibrational energy by exploring its effects on water. Emoto believed that human consciousness could affect the molecular structure of water. He conducted experiments where he exposed water to different words, music, and even thoughts, then froze the water and photographed the resulting crystals.
Positive words like “love” and “gratitude” produced beautiful, symmetrical crystals, while negative words like “hate” resulted in distorted, chaotic shapes. Although Emoto’s work has been met with skepticism and calls for more rigorous scientific methods, it has sparked a fascinating discussion about the potential impact of our thoughts and environment on the world around us.
You can see the stunning images of the water crystals of Masaru Emoto’s work on his website.
Veda Austin: Continuing the Legacy
Building on Emoto’s work, Veda Austin has delved deeper into the study of water and its response to external stimuli. Austin focuses on the idea that water has a “memory” and can store information. Her experiments often involve photographing the shapes that water forms after being exposed to various stimuli, from words to music to environmental factors.
Austin’s work emphasizes the beauty and complexity of water’s responses, and her photographs reveal intricate patterns and shapes that are both aesthetically pleasing and thought-provoking. Her research suggests a profound connection between water, consciousness, and the vibrational energies around us.
For a glimpse into Veda Austin’s fascinating research, check out her website her Instagram for interesting pics of her water experiments and regular updates and images of her work.
Chanting and Its Effects on Our Energy Patterns
Chanting, a practice found in many spiritual traditions, is known to create vibrations that can influence our energy patterns. When we chant, we produce specific frequencies that resonate with our body and mind, creating a harmonizing effect, and bring us into attunement and alignment with uplifting cosmic forces.
Cymatics, along with the work of Emoto and Austin, demonstrates this link beautifully. By visualizing the patterns created by different chants, we can see how certain sounds produce harmonious, symmetrical designs, while others may result in more chaotic patterns. This visual evidence supports the idea that chanting can help balance our energy, promote healing, and foster a sense of well-being.
These studies offer a visual representation of the invisible world of sound and energy, opening our eyes to the potential connections between physical phenomena and our emotional and mental states.
Exploring these patterns invites us to consider the unseen forces that shape our world and the impact of our thoughts, words, and actions on our environment. Whether you’re a scientist, artist, or simply a curious mind, the world of cymatics offers a beautiful, mysterious window into the hidden messages of our universe.
Conclusion
Cymatic patterns provide a captivating glimpse into the world of sound and vibration. Through the pioneering work of Hans Jenny, Masaru Emoto, and Veda Austin, we are reminded of the profound interconnectedness of all things and the potential power of our consciousness. Whether you’re inspired to experiment with cymatics yourself or simply enjoy the stunning visuals, this field can expand our understanding of the unseen forces at play in our world.
Cymatics and the research into the consciousness of water, is a reminder that our thoughts, words, actions and energy all have an effect and are shaping our experiences.

How Sound Yoga and Mantras Calm Pets: Benefits You Need to Know
In our busy lives, stress is something we all encounter, and our pets are no exception. While we often seek solace in yoga, meditation, or soothing music, did you know that these practices can also benefit our fur friends? Sound yoga and mantra chanting can be powerful tools to help calm and soothe pets, promoting a harmonious and peaceful environment. Let’s delve into how these practices work and their remarkable benefits for our pets.
Understanding Sound Yoga and Mantras
Sound yoga, also known as nāda yoga, is the practice of using sound and vibrations to bring harmony, attunement, and some might even say cosmic connection, to body, mind and spirt. It may include the use of musical instruments and/or vocal sounds to bring us into greater listening awareness, inner connection and peace, and to create a serene atmosphere – in both our inner and outer worlds. Mantras are repetitive sounds, words, or phrases chanted during meditation to focus the mind. They can bring a sense of tranquility and support a vibrational shift within our being.

Mantras In Stressful Moments for Pets
Sometimes we can’t always control the environment and pets might be triggered in a stressful circumstance. I had a recent experience of transporting a friend’s dog on a long drive. Pickles, the staffie, and I had never met. I could feel her concern as we drove off, leaving her owner behind. Inspiration led me to chant mantras for much of the 6.5 hour journey. Within a very short time the sounds helped her relax so much that she happily slept for most of the journey.
Conclusion
Incorporating sound yoga and mantra chanting into your pet’s routine can be a wonderful way to enhance their well-being. By creating a peaceful environment filled with calming sounds, you can help reduce their stress, improve their sleep, and promote overall better behavior. It’s a beautiful transformational practice that not only benefits your pet but also strengthens the bond between you and your fur baby. Give it a try and watch the positive transformation in your pet’s life!

How Sound Yoga Supports Injury Recovery: A Holistic Approach
I have had the amazing opportunity to facilitate regular online sound yoga (nāda) sessions for My Social Support Network (MSSN). It’s a Psychosocial Occupational Rehabilitation Specialist service that focuses on social recovery to support return to community, work and transition to retirement, aimed at better psychosocial health, community participation, and/or work outcomes.
In the article link below, MSSN founder Dr Caroline Howe, shares her insights about the results of the weekly online sound yoga sessions I’ve been facilitating with the network.
I’ve witnessed first hand how one participant in particular with a severe physiological injury, has literally allowed more light into his life. When I first met him not even 6 months ago, he was sitting in a dark house and I could barely make him out on the Zoom call, withdrawn and depressed. Last week, he was laughing during the session, sitting in a light filled room, and the shift in his energy was palpable. I’m told that these sessions are the only thing he’s been able to really engage with. Amazing!
