SWITCHWORDS - How to chant TOGETHER
A tip from the founder of Switchwords, James Mangan.
Take a deep inhale, and while exhaling chant the word "TOGETHER" in a single breath, as many times as possible, the minimum number of times being 28.
Results are assured, but does not happen instantly. The organs start aligning themselves together, and then the personal life, then the professional life etc. Overall you start being in tune with the Universe, therby are in tune with your ownselves.
In the beginning the tongue twists and words are not very clear, but practice makes perfect.
Do this one for a minimum of 2 minutes, three times a day for better results. You may do it just once a day too.
Follow the chanting by sipping some water.
Do practice without a break for at least six months, and changes are amazing when you look back. Benefits are infinite.
Should I chant loudly or in whispers?
You can begin with an audible chant, slowly lowering the voice to a whisper gradually. Works any way you chant it!!

The all pervading Divine is the Creator of the Universe controls the Universe and He is the master of the Past, Present and the Future. He is the Creator, Sustain-er and Destroyer of all beings. He exists in full splendor and is the essence of all beings and nurtures all beings.
This Shloka enables one to master oneself. The whole life revolves around various situations where we are always trying to win over situations or others, trying to control the movement of others. This attitude leads to poor health in the long run. Personally observed that those who try to control the movement of others lose control of their own physical movement in the long run. Life's all about moving with the flow. And that's exactly what this shloka can enable one to do. Flow with the flow of life by mastering your own self.

Ashwini Nakshatram 1st Padam.
How to use
this shloka?
Listen to the
Vishnu Sahasranamam daily in the morning and the evening. It is available on
you tube, and M S Subbalaskhmi’s pronounciation is excellent and melodious.
Listening to the same regularly and following the scriptures while listening
will soon enable you to chant yourself.
After listening
to the whole VS, then chant the above mentioned shloka designed specially for
your nakshatra 11 times minimum.
You can offer
to the deity in your altar flowers and leaves that appease Lord Maha Vishnu,
Lotus, White Flowers, Tulsi leaves etc.
Light incense
sticks before beginning the chants. Light a ghee lamp also if possible.
Start noticing
subtle changes within yourself, your surroundings. The slow, soft subtle
changes evolve into major life transformations very gently.
You will
discover more ease within yourself. More peace within. Less discomfort
experienced. Increase in patience, perseverance, precision, peace, positivity
and prosperity are all part of you. You are part of the entire universe, and
you are the entire universe, the universe in entirety gets connected to every
bit of you and vice versa. Your life purpose becomes visible, clarity in every
area is natural.
Just try it,
become the words that you chant.
How does it
get any better and simpler than this?
Life is easy,
Life is effortless, Life is Simple, Life is full of Joy, Life is Happy
lokāḥ samastāḥ sukhino-bhavaṁtu ||
लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनोभवंतु ॥
Advanced
level of using the Shlokas
Going a step further to using the essence of timing
for further benefits, do chant the SHLOKA designed for the Nakshatra of the day
before chanting your own nakshatra. Chant this shloka 11 times minimum, this
will enable you to merge with the energy of the day, and allow the vice versa.
There are 27 Nakshatras, and every Sunrise is emerging
with energy of a
particular Nakshatra daily. So if you have a panchang,
you can check – you may even do an online check of the days Nakshatra, and
choose to read the Shloka designed for the particular Nakshatra of the day.
So, for example
If today’s nakshatra is Maham, and you belong to the
Ashwini Nakshatra First Padam/Charan, then follow the following ritual :
First listen/chant the whole Vishnu Sahasranamam.
Then chant for your own Nakshatra – Ashwini.
Then chant all four shlokas of the Maham Nakshatra.
The best timing to chant the Shlokas.
The Vishnu Sahasranaamam is best chanted during the
Brahma Muhurat. There is a magical silence, the sound of this silence has a
vast, expansive effect on every individual.
When is the Brahma Mahurat?
Begins at 3.30 am and is a time when lung is
functioning at its peak.
At what other time can the shlokas be chanted?
To bring in stability we see an auspicious time to
make a start. Then once you master yourself, there is no binding of TIME &
Space on you, You go beyond the clutches of time!! All time is good time!! All
in good time!!
These can be chanted during the day. Avoid chanting
during the nights. A good nights sleep is best for regulation of the breath!!

Inculcating Fear
Conversation on Inculcating Fear
Is it necessary to inculcate fear into a person?
Does your doctor, therapist, astrologer or spiritual leader do that?
Is it better to avoid such people & stay away from a vicious cycle?
Radha Narayan 'Starts with parents Sudhaji!!!remember if you dont do this or dont eat this buchandi will come and eat you!!!'
Sudha Ambikadas 'YES, Radha Narayanan, absolutely agree. I need to work on myself first.'
Radha Narayan 'Sudhaji we all infact need to work on ourselves very very much infact we need to de-condition ourselves from the so very many conditioning levels we received/still are receiving from our elders -yes its an onion peeling we need to undertake on ourselves-painful but gainful!!!Divine thanks!!!'
Siddhika Umesh 'I second Radha, dear Sudha, everything stems from the deep conditions of our homes n we are trapped fr years with this fear, so mch so, that we keep raising families with the same feel, only the degrees may vary, cauz we say we are evolving, but our deep core is yet to be healed.
So lets step without feeling trapped and carrying guilt. Its all about freeing our souls n all the others are freed too! Love and Light!'
Kavita Panyam 'Sometimes awareness is perceived as imparting fear.....totally depends on individuals.'
Ritvika Naidu 'How can we use the information to understand our present state of affairs is how I would look at!!'
Questioning oneself
Is it better stay away from such people looking at it as a vicious cycle or get the information & tap into your awareness to see how you can overcome, and emerge a stronger being?
How can we get rid of the fears inculcated within us by our parents? Are we as parents following same patterns? If yes, how can we break free?

PARIGRAHAH I
UGRAH SAMVATSARO DAKSHO VISHRAAMO
VISHVADAKSHINAH II45II
The Shloka
No.45 of Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam has the following Namas or Names of the Lord.
Each Nama or Name indicates a nature or characteristic, and chanting these
Namas/Names helps you pull in those energies or BE the NAMA!!

422. Ugrah
423. Samvatsarah

425. Vishraamah
426. Vishvadakshinah
417. RITUH -
The Lord of TIME who governs all the seasons. Derived from the root
‘Rgati-Praapanayoh’ which means ‘to go’. Seasons move from one to another
without interruption. The very essence of TIME is Seasonal, and when ONE is
caught up in the race of TIME, just chanting these namas will absolve the
obstacles created by TIME, and one can MOVE from one stage of life to another
with EASE!! Blessed are we to understand the power of words, the power of Lord
Sri Maha Vishnu, the protector.
Just as
seasons are TIME bound, here we understand the DIVINE to be standing stable in
the form of TIME., and just as one season pushes the other with an announcement
of it’s arrival, similarly so all struggles we face is life have phases, we are
phased out of to emerge into NEWness with every seasonal phase!!
This shloka
is also used to empower one and the environment when faced with negative
effects of the seasons like floods, fires, extreme colds etc.
418. SUDARSHANAH – Very sight a delight!!
Just
as one can imagine the delight when connected or given a chance to see the
DIVINE in conscious presence, so also one would be delighted to see you whether
they know about the richness of you qualities or not. Using this one can see
through others very easily, remain unaffected, looking amazingly calm and
composed, and beautiful expressive soft eyes like lotus petals. Others feel
very comforted with your very presence! So when related to environmental
healing, any place where this shloka is used becomes very pleasant!! Same way
when chanted for welfare of the ENVIRONMENT, the weather becomes so pleasant,
harmonious!! Such is the magic of the NAMAS of Sri Mahavishnu!!! Just as TIME
spins through six seasons without interruption, the sudarshan chakra is
revolving powerfully without any interruption. Using this shloka enables
uninterrupted education, also allows ability to complete what one starts and
MOVE ON to the next stage with EASE.
419.
KAALAH He who sets limits to
everything.
Here
in our day to day life one is well within control of themselves, are aware of
their Being, know where to draw a line, ability to set boundaries. This helps
is overcoming ADDICTIONS, Releasing the Unwanted by one’s own self. The
increase in will power is automatically related to improvising the Adrenals
strengthening, thereby aiding repair of all body parts. One will be able to use
time well and go beyond limitations of time and space i.e., one will not be
caught in the limitations of time bound astrology. He will not be run over by
others, knows very well when to give it back to others who try to trample!! Is
aware of contribution of others, and knows how to value an individual. And for
those who reckon with the desire to cause calamity or misfortune, Kaalah
becomes Gof of Death – here it does not mean kill, but one look is enough to
kill the evil habits in those!!
420.
PARMESHTHEE One who resides in the Supreme abode –
Vaikuntha.
This
literally means where ever the chanter resides becomes Heavenly Vaikuntha, and
all ill effects of VASTU SHASTRA do not affect the residents. One who resides
in the cave of hearts where the Divine resides within.
421. PARIGRAHAH
He who absorbs all into him. Literally
takes all along while MOVING forward, a true leader.
422.
UGRAH He is formidable
Predominance
of unrighteousness makes one Ugrah, furious enough to annihilate miscreants.
Will not be tolerant or suppressed by Adharma.
423. SAMVATSARAH
- One in whom all beings reside.
Just
as the blowing wind is present within the space, similarly the one here is
contained with all those around him, he has equal love and affection for all.
424. DAKSHAH
He is quick in action
Accomplishes
all his work with great speed. This Nama Dakshah implies the qualities of
Perfection, Precision, Strength, Quick Decisions & Actions, so fast that
the opposition has no time to think or counter moves. Prompt, diligent and
efficient in the action of Creation, Protection & Destruction, with
readiness to help at all times under all circumstances, just like the Lord
coming to the rescue of Gajendra.
425. VISHRAAMO
He provides the Final Resting Place
The
word “srama” means effort, while Vishraama means relaxation or rest. It means
one gets things effortlessly, in a very relaxed manner. The person chanting this
creates more with ease in life. In a larger perspective the person acquires
Divine qualities of giving solace and comfort to those overworked. Dependable,
completely reliable.
426. VISHVADAKSHINAH He is the most skilled
All
efficiency and skill in him, he becomes one who is completely the best at
anything one undertakes. Focus effortlessly, bringing out the best in the
