Om Namah Shivaya

Om Namah Shivaya means I bow with respect to Shiva or the inner self. This mantra nourishes our connection with our true divine nature. Om Namah Shivaya has been a powerful resource for helping me navigate inner turmoil. It brings peace to my busy mind and reduces anxiety. 

The first track on my new album, Breathe, features this powerful mantra. 

Breathe by Kalika Fortin

Sailing through the waters of my mind
Storm waves crash against my boat
And I fear I'm about to capsize 
And I don't know how I'll stay afloat. 
And I'm treading in cold water
And I'm gasping for my breath
Just when I think that I might die here
I feel a whisper rise upon my lips.

It goes Om Namah Om Namah Om Namah Shivaya...

Swimming in the waters of my mind
Storm waves begin to still 
And I look up to the heart sky
It's so vast, so blue and oh so clear.
And I'm floating in calm waters
And I'm dancing with my breath
And I feel I could just lie here
Rocked to the rhythm in my chest. 

It goes Om Namah Om Namah Om Namah Shivaya...
