Affirmations by Amma

 

In 2007 I saw a photo of an Indian spiritual leader and humanitarian called Amma (meaning "Mother"). Amma is known as the "hugging saint", because she spreads her love and blessings by hugging people. 

I was intrigued, and decided to attend a 3 day retreat with her when she next visited Australia.

Her impact on me was so profound, I now keep a photo of her in my bedroom, and I've attended at least 3 other retreats with her. 

I went from being utterly "in my head" and "in my ego" when I arrived at her retreat, to being in a state of reverence and peace by the second day, after my second hug with her. A complete stillness entered my mind, and all I wanted to do was to sit quietly at her feet, as throngs of seagulls flocked above our building. They could feel the energy and love!

I enjoy receiving emails from Amma Australia, and wanted to share with you these reminders from Amma to welcome in our new year. 

Amma writes: 

"In this new year, may our mind become serene, free from fear, from distress, from hatred and from anger! May the smile of love ever play on our lips. May compassion fill our heart. May the sun of discernment shine in our intellect. May everyone succeed in making the new year blessed with actions that spread the fragrance of love and compassion. 

May divine grace bless all my children!"
