The truth you believe in and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new. -Pema Chödrön

Mantra: Om ganapataye namaha

Today is the seventh day of my retreat in Maya Tulum with 40 spiritual warriors going deep into the Five Realms of Existence and exploring the fifth Pancha Mahabhuta, prithvi, or earth. This master element represents the hard parts of our world; if you can see it, that’s what earth is about. Essence, grounding, hard, real, tangible things. Structure is created by prithvi. It is a powerful element that when we have too much flowing through us, we become too attached to something, too comfortable, and ultimately needy. We hold on, unnecessarily, to something that no longer serves us.

For this weekend’s meditation, I’ve chosen Day 10 of my “40 Days of Transformation.” The 40 Days is available in its entirety on iTunes, Amazon Music, Google Play, and CDBaby.com.

The Five Master Elements are a highlight of my Ayurvedic opera, “Journey to Infinity.”

It the perfect stocking stuffer for the holidays! Journey to Infinity is a two-hour exploration of your body, mind, heart, and soul through the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda – the 5000-year-old healing system.

Each track on Journey to Infinity carries the intention to infuse you with timeless elemental wisdom. This Spiritual Song-cycle will help you connect with your deeper Self through the healing power of musical awakening, ancient Sanskrit mantras, consciousness shifting binaural beats, musical Ayurvedic awakenings and deep, guided meditations. Some relax your body and calm your mind; some soothe your heart, some awaken your inner healer, and others will inspire you to get up and dance.

There’s a track for every mood, feeling and situation you find yourself in – and an opportunity to bring greater wholeness into your life. The beautiful, creative expressions of the shamanic sound healers SacredFire combined with davidji’s vision and words makes this CD a core teaching, and a valuable tool in taking your life to the next level. The album is available in digital and CD format and may be purchased on iTunes, Amazon Music, Google Play, and CDBaby.com.

And, if you’re a super-fan, “Journey to Infinity” t-shirts are also available at david.com/store.
