Refuge

How can chanting to Ganesh help us bust through our barriers and lead from inner homelessness? Symbols like Ganesh can connect us with our inner world, helping to reframe fear, anxiety, and confusion and weave those feelings into a sense of stability, stillness, and self-assuredness. Holding the image of the "remover of obstacles" serves as a powerful symbol of hope, guidance, and transformation. In a personal exploration of Ganesh, I asked loved ones to share a recurring thought that blocks their sense of clarity or growth. These brave individuals identified the mental scripts that hold them back. Then I asked them to record a personal “antidote”—a phrase which counters the limiting belief and helps them move forward.  And those voices became an integral part of the music that emerged.
