Month 3: Mantra Re-Do

My third month's challenge was a 40-day Sanskrit mantra for wealth and abundance. Sanskrit is a historical Hindu/Buddhist language. And, according to Wikipedia, a mantra is is a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that are considered capable of "creating transformation". This particular one that my mom helped us pick is for removing barriers to abundance and prosperity. We are supposed to chant the following "Om Gum Shrim Maha Lakshmiyei Swaha" 108 times a day for 40 days. Believe it or not, it only takes about 5 minutes. If you forget a day, you are supposed to start over.

So, I was doing great. I actually received a couple of checks during the first two weeks that I had been waiting on and it was great. Then, on day 29, while I was in Seattle for work, I completely forgot about the mantra and as a result, had to start all over.

What is interesting to note is that two days after I forgot, I received an email that the company that I did my sports blogging for decided to eliminate their entire blog network. I don't know if it's a coincidence (it's not), but that definitely lit a fire under to me start over and finish my 40 days, which I am now 3 days away from finishing. After I complete it, I will share my experience - which has been incredible to say the least.
