mayidhehi
Ayur means Life. Dhehi is nourishment and we chant to the various aspects of being in form. We ask for the energetic movements of our body to be nourished, our senses of perception to be nourished, and our relationships to be nourished.
There is always movement throughout our body. We consume on many different levels; physically, intellectually, emotionally, and energetically. We can recognize this in the air we breath in and the elimination after we digest foods. We understand that we take in energy and information through our senses of perception, our figuring minds and we our nourished by all our relationships. The outer world and the inner world weave an intricate and intimate tapestry.
This chant acknowledges the winds of our bodies invoking ease with the currents that move us through life. We also acknowledge the senses of perception such as our eyesight, hearing, our voice, and our mind. The chant concludes with the acknowledgement that the well being of the individual self is dependent on the well being of all others.
