Does the spiritual connection end with it, or can it become part of every moment of our daily lives?In this episode of Mantras & Meditation & Creation, I share my personal journey through Autumn Navaratri and the spiritual growth that continues beyond its nine sacred nights.During Navaratri, I chanted mantras while working and living my everyday life, honoring the Goddesses, Gods, Surya, and the planet of each day. My chanting often began with Hum Gum, as given to me by Ganesha and Hayagreeva. Eashoa Jesus was also a strong presence during this sacred time.Now autumn has arrived at our old Finnish farmhouse. The days grow shorter, and I light the fires in our masonry heaters and oven. For me, lighting a fire is a sacred ceremony, accompanied by a mantra honoring Agni, the God of Fire.In this episode, I share my original song The Light I Am (My Navaratri), a musical reflection on learning to live as the Light I am, not only during sacred ceremonies but throughout ordinary life.This is my journey of spiritual growth, Divine connection, creativity, and the teachings that emerge through living.🙏 A reflection for you:Can you bring a little more awareness into something you do every day? Perhaps while walking, preparing food, working, or lighting a candle?Let that ordinary moment become an opportunity for connection.I am Om Kleem Hum Gum Namo.I came here to grow as Light, channel the Divine teachings, and share what I learn through my own growth.🌟 Continue your spiritual journey with LightofLionExplore my mantras, meditations, spiritual teachings, music, and online courses:https://www.lightoflion.com💌 Join the LightofLion NewsletterReceive spiritual reflections, new teachings, music updates, and a welcome gift of 50% off all LightofLion online courses.

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!In this episode I share a deeply personal day from life at our farmhouse, a day when joy and sorrow arrived together.Three kittens from The 4 Heroes of the Fable Woods Valley, Myrsky, Tuisku, and Routa, left for their loving new homes.Later that same evening, our old horse Veera became ill with colic, and the time came to let her go.The next morning life continued. The horses still needed hay. Lilja was still with me, waiting for her own new home. And sorrow was still present.That day left me with a simple understanding:If you experience joy, love, sorrow, and goodbye in your life, then you know that you have lived a life.This episode is about love, grief, letting go, animals, the continuation of life, and the quiet Light that remains when someone we love leaves.With love, LightofLion 🌿🐎🐾

Regular practice is the teacher. Allow Kleem, your body, and your own experience to show you the way.You can return to this meditation daily or whenever you feel called to deepen your awareness. You may also explore the practice with other mantras.Together with Part 1, this practice is designed to help transform ordinary sensory awareness toward a more conscious and Divine way of experiencing yourself and the world.Chant. Feel. Listen within. Let the Divine senses awaken.Thank you, and enjoy the practice.LightofLion

Then one evening she came to sleep beside my legs, and something extraordinary began.I had found another teacher with a physical body.In this deeply personal episode of Mantras & Meditation & Creation, I share the story of Usva: mother, hunter, companion, spiritual teacher, and the cat through whom I have felt the presence of Goddess Angali so strongly.Through the years, Usva has taught me to understand animals beyond words. She has shown me her world, invited me to follow her, meditated with me, raised her kittens beside our family, and helped me understand that animals are spirits with their own paths, wisdom, and purpose.Her kittens brought their own teachings too. Some inspired songs, including Two Brave Kittens, while another litter opened the door to my book The 7 Heroes of the Fable Woods. Her newest kittens, Lilja, Myrsky, Tuisku and Routa, have already inspired the next story: The 4 Heroes of the Fable Woods Valley.This episode is not only about cats. It is about learning to see animals and nature differently.Our horses, our dog Luna, the cats, the countryside, and the Divine are all part of my spiritual journey.We are all spirits who came to grow on this planet Earth.Listen, feel, and perhaps look at the animals around you with new eyes.🌿 LightofLion Meditation • Mantras • Spiritual Growth • Divine ConnectionVisit: www.lightoflion.com

Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!For Guru Purnima, the sacred Full Moon of teachers, I want to honor one of the most important teachers in my life: Usva.Usva is a cat, a mother, a mystic, and a great Spirit Teacher. She came to live with us as a small kitten, at a time when Goddess Angali was strongly present within me. From that day until now, our spirits have remained deeply connected.Usva has raised five litters with love and has taught me through her presence, her instincts, her silence, and her way of living.She has taught me how to hunt, how to understand the language of cats, and how to become more cat-like in spirit so I can learn from the world in a different way.Her kittens have also entered my inner world and revealed their true spirits to me. Through them, the stories and books of the Fable Woods Heroes were born.The words for this song came one morning while the four kittens of The 4 Heroes of the Fable Woods Valley were playing around my legs. I listened, wrote the words down, and created the song To My Teacher Usva.This special Guru Purnima podcast includes an introduction, the complete song, and a closing blessing.Through Usva, I also honor my connection with Goddess Angali, Varahi, and Parvati, whose energies are strongly present in my daily life and spiritual growth.May the energy of the Gurus bless me, Usva, and you who are listening.Listen, receive, and celebrate the teachers who may come into your life through Divine beings, nature, animals, family, silence, and love.Happy Guru Purnima!Om Kleem Guravae Namaha Om Kleem Namah Shivaya#GuruPurnima #ToMyTeacherUsva #SpiritualTeacher #AnimalWisdom #CatSpirit #GoddessAngali #Varahi #Parvati #SpiritualSong #LightofLion

Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!The Divine teaches us in many ways.Teachings may come through Goddesses, Gods, planets, nature, animals, life experiences, and the quiet wisdom already living within us.In this teaching connected with the approaching Guru Purnima Full Moon on 29th July 2026, I share how Divine wisdom has guided me through my own spiritual path and how you can begin opening yourself to that guidance.The Divine contains both the creative and preserving aspects of energy:Shiva and Shakti. Vishnu and Lakshmi. Mother and Father. Yin and Yang.They are not truly separate, but different expressions of the same Universal energy.The Goddess aspect carries the creative power from which life can be born. The God aspect gives creation its foundation, protection, and space in which to grow.This same Divine energy lives within you through your body, mind, soul, and the presence of God inside you.To understand this more deeply, we turn inward.Through the third eye and midbrain, we can become more receptive to Divine wisdom and allow the Divine to begin teaching us from within.In this short and effective meditation, we use the sacred mantra OM.You will be guided to:✨ Gently focus on your third eye✨ Bring your awareness into the midbrain✨ Chant OM so its vibration moves within ✨ Rest in silence and observe its effects ✨ Open yourself to inner wisdom and Divine guidanceThe practice includes three rounds of three OM chants, with short periods of stillness between them.You may simply listen or chant together with me.This teaching is part of the LightofLion Guru Purnima journey leading toward the sacred Full Moon of Guru on 29th July 2026.If this teaching resonates with you, do not leave it only as something you heard today.
