    Om Jesu - healing mantra

    Om Jesu - healing mantra

    Recorded during "The Sound of Grace" retreat for women in Dorset, this beautiful chant touched all our hearts.  On Jesu Christaya Paramatmanay Perusha Namaha - honouring Christ as an "Avatar" - descended from the Divine.  

    It holds the sweetest of energies and is a joy to chant.

    Recorded on my phone so not the best quality...but sit back, close your eyes and allow our heart-felt chanting to touch your heart.
