Within each of us exists the potential for boundless wisdom, compassion, and joy. But how do we awaken and experience those creative forces? For millennia, spiritual teachers, from the forests of ancient India to the mountains of Tibet, have taught mantras powerful sacred sounds to help us call forth our innate spiritual potential.
