I have been facing some emotional distress and mental health struggles lately. I had a messy breakup and now I am even having physical symptoms like insomnia, shivering and nightmares.
The chant
गते गते पारे गते
परासंगते बोधि स्वाहा
Gate Gate Paara Gate
Paarasam Gate Bodhi Svaahaa
I am moving ahead, going ahead and beyond, forever going beyond, in pursuit of my inner Buddha.
Why it works
Liberates from dualistic thinking and conceptual mind-patterns that create suffering
Cultivates steady intention toward enlightenment and transcendence of ego-attachment
Dissolves existential fear and doubt by affirming the possibility of liberation
Anchors consciousness in present-moment awareness beyond conceptual overlay
Activates Buddha-nature recognition and intuitive knowing beyond rational mind
