Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 19 )
I invite you to keep coming to your Practice each day as a form of devotion.
When done consistently, you will be able to maintain and improve major and subtle aspects of your life. So, let’s keep cultivating and exploring realistic steps to building your daily spiritual practice!
creating some structure for this plan is essential to flourish.
make a list of at minimum four things that you can envision doing every day in service of your highest self.
Feel free to add in whatever you feel called to, and if you need a little help with ideas, take a moment to choose from these:
Meditate or 10--15minutes
Create movement by doing yoga postures or stretching for several minutes
Dance daily 30 min or more
Say prayers/affirmations aloud
Smudge yourself to clear your energy
Read a few pages from a book that feels nourishing to your spirit
Utilize crystal energies by holding or meditating with a crystal of your choosing
Perform freeform writing in a journal for 10 minutes
Go outside and commune with nature
Make a list of things you are grateful for
Do self-prizing
Do breathwork exercises for several minutes
Self Care Ritual
Add other Pratices
Once you have created your routine and made the space to practice, it’s important to honor your heart’s desires by committing to your growth. Make an agreement with yourself to give this your personal best by writing out your intentions and saying them out loud. For example:
“I _______ plan to nourish my highest self by participating in this spiritual practice each morning. I will strive to do this a minimum of ____ times a week. I am enhancing and healing these areas of my life: ________. I honor the desires of my heart through consistency.”
When you have finished and if it feels comfortable for you, place this paper in a place you will see it often as a reminder of your vision for yourself.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 18 )
Dance is imagination brought to life! Dance is prayer. Dance is mediation. Dance is walking through the clouds, flying among the stars, gliding on the moon, and experiencing the pure bliss of heaven on earth. ~Rumi
No permission needed as you own it with each breath, each and every day!
Just Dance………while cooking…….cleaning……or at any given moment you can move your body as a conduit of your divine connection to this earth.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 17 )
Here are a few exercises to connected deeper with your intuition.
Exercise 1. Work with direct (literal) intuition.
Find a place to sit comfortably.
Follow your breath by counting '1' on the inhale and '2' on the exhale.
When you are relaxed and quiet, identify an event or situation that you'd like more insight about.
Focus on the event or situation intently for a few minutes.
Ask for a direct intuitive experience about it in the near future.
Let it go.
Exercise 2. Work with indirect (symbolic) intuition.
Get a piece of paper and a pen or pencil.
Ask yourself, "What does my life need right now?" three times in row, pausing between each question. Imagine you are going toward a more meaningful answer each time you ask.
When you've finished with the 3 rd question, pick up your pen and draw one symbol on your paper.
Interpret this symbol. What does it suggest you add, subtract, or enjoy from your life?
Exercise 3. Learn to look for and pay attention to intuition's subtle messages.
Invest in your sixth sense. Imagine that your eyes, ears, hands, skin, emotions, and intellect could stretch out into the invisible world and capture sensations, information, inspiration, knowledge, and wisdom like a cable or a cell phone captures invisible waves of sounds and images.
Let yourself 'walk' through your day sensitive to other dimensions.
Exercise 4. Choose a sense to work with. (Intuition uses the senses to describe or receive information and or knowledge. Choose one and practice with others as you see fit.)
Your Intuitive Body
Make a date with yourself on your calendar and allow 2 -3 hours.
When the time comes, get in your car (or if you are without a car, you can walk) and begin to drive without knowing where you are going.
Resist the first few 'ideas' you have about where you are going. Wait for the idea that makes your body very relaxed. Your body is your best barometer of what is right-if your choice arises from intuition, you will experience inner stillness, silence, and 'knowing' it is right.
When the barometer is correct, go visit the person, place, or event that is suggested.
Your Intuitive Eye
Sit quietly anywhere, any time.
Relax your eyebrows and forehead.
Let the muscles of your face 'melt' into ease.
Inhale and exhale rhythmically.
With your inner eyes, create a vision of you radiating health and happiness to every part of your body and to all those around you.
Your Intuitive Ear
Pretend that you have an inner DJ and invite your DJ to play a song that is relevant for you.
Listen to what you hear-it maybe only a few words and ask why your intuition chose that song at this moment.
Exercise 5. Work with dreams and altered states.
Before you go to bed at night or lay down to rest during the day, put a pen and paper next to you.
After you lay down, mentally ask your intuition for a dream or daydream image that will benefit your life and the lives of those around you.
Repeat your request as often as possible before you drift off.
When you wake up, even if you don't remember anything specific, write or draw whatever comes into your mind.
Look over and evaluate what you receive. Act on the advice where appropriate.
Repeat as needed.
Exercise 6. Ask a question.
Ask yourself: If I knew I would receive help from my intuition, what is it I am most concerned about or most interested in growing now-relationship skills, rewarding career, personal evolution, financial stability, etc.
Formulate a question and ask it internally as often as you can.
Exercise 7. Focus on your love.
Find a spot to sit comfortably.
Identify something you really love to do or a place that you love.
Using your imagination, allow what you identified to 'fall into' your heart area and nest there for the duration of the exercise.
Inhale on the count of '1' and exhale on the count of '2' however imagine that it is your heart that is breathing.
Allow your 'heart breath' to caress your thoughts as it moves in, through, and around the nest.
After 5 minutes of caressing the thing or place your love, invite your thoughts to return to your head area.
Focus on your breathing heart.
Use your intuitive senses to know what gift of understanding has been left or been born in the nest.
If nothing is there, let it go for the moment.
Exercise 8. Practice with real situations.
On a clear day, the light of the sun comes long before the sun itself rises. Imagine a question that is like the first rays of light; it is a good question, but the real question has not yet risen.
Observe the first question while you patiently wait for a more valuable and real question to emerge.
Record the real question and begin to work with it.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 16 )
Nurturing our body temple is a fun and creative process……..
Think of all the ways in which you love to explore this concept.
Like how we relate to our Food. Some people take great delight in cooking and preparing meals while others find the activity to be a necessary chore.
But when does cooking become more than just cooking?
When you stir in a little magic and whip up something enchanting.
Many of the basic ingredients you use to make your meals every day also have magical attributes.
What makes the difference between just throwing a few things together in a pot and creating magic?
Intent and focus, of course!
Whether you are still a secret witch or simply don't have time for elaborate rituals, kitchen witchery is an easy way to integrate magic into your daily life. Herbs and other mundane ingredients can be used to bring magic to your next meal!
Create a simple KITCHEN ALTAR
If you plan to use kitchen witchery as your primary mode of craft, you may want to begin thinking of your kitchen as a sacred space. This of course will depend on your living situation and personal practice.
Take a moment to think about your kitchen. It's probably often overlooked and underappreciated but some truly magical thing happens in this room.
The gifts of the Earth are transformed and combined into creations that nourish and benefit your body. When we offer our intention this heightens our awareness.
You may wish to use Mantra in the creation of healing and beautifying recipes too!

Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 14 )
“Be conscious of this unconscious prayer (of your breath), For She is the holiest place of pilgrimage.
She wishes for you to enter this temple, Where each breath is adoration Of the infinite for the incarnate form.”
― Lorin Roche, The Radiance Sutras
Sacred Sensuality & Sexuality
Sensuality/Sexuality itself is a sacred life force and the conceiving power in the universe.
When we allow it to flow freely, it elicits deep feelings of longing, desire, and passion, and in the blissful unifying act produces immense healing for our bodies and souls. We’re experiencing unspeakable suffering all over the world after an age of defiling, suppressing, and misusing sexuality. A key part of healing love is to create spaces where we can fully accept our sexual nature and freely express it in mutual respect.
While modern religions have defined sacred and spiritual as being separate from the body, from nature, and certainly from sex, the ancient roots of our language and history imply something different suggesting that at one time there was a sacred nature to sex.
Given the shifts in our culture, now is a time to return to ancient wisdom.
Sacred is defines as that which is made or declared holy, revered, blessed, holy.
Sacred is understood differently in varying cultures. In indigenous culture, the concept of sacred is one of relationship rather than dogma. While in native cultures, humans, animals, plants, and especially the Earth herself are sacred because we are all part of the Whole. All of creation is inherently sacred because it is part of the interconnected web of ecology that sustains and carries life.
Sacred Sexuality is an essential part of many spiritual traditions and cultures.
It implies an awareness that sex is the inception of life, of all that is, a connection to Source energy.
It is no coincidence then that the word sacrum is also the anatomical term for the triangular bone at the base of the spine – the very place which Tantric traditions say is the seat of the sleeping kundalini or Shakti energy. When aroused through practice, the kundalini rises up the spine to awaken the spiritual centers in the brain – the place where many of our closing and our habitual mindless chatter lives.
The Tantric attitudes of slowing down, awakening all of the senses, tuning in to subtle energy, letting go of judgment and blame, expressing gratitude for the gift of life, and savoring the present moment are wonderfully supportive tools for intimate relating.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 13 )
As we enter into day 13
Just check in with your practice.
Are you able to dance each day?
Mediate?
Journal?
Without criticism or judgment just checking in with yourself.
Take 3 deep breaths and remember your intention.
Healing Benefits of Belly Dance:
Awakening/Allowing permission to explore your own sensuality and femininity.
Strengthen the mind-body connection and create new pathways to sensation, awareness, and bliss.
Connect with your Moon cycles, intuition, and natural psychic powers.
Getting a good workout and feeling centered in your body as a temple.
Maximize cognitive function and muscle memory through practice.

Create FLOW including all these movements
Think of yourself as a divine sacred geometry painter.
Where does the movement start ?
Where does it want to go?
Drill each move 3-10 times before moving onto the next.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 12 )
What is the 1st thing that comes to mind when you think of Self-Care/Self Love?
This is an important part of your dance & embodiment practices.
We all know how good we feel after a good dance session, a long hike, or a ritual bath. This is an invitation to make dates with yourself.
As we explore deeper into the mystical and ancient teachings of how to regulate your hormones and balance your nervous system it all starts in how we think and perceive our lives.
The art of doing nothing is essential for your receptive nature.
Even if it’s just 10 mins of simple stillness….
Sit in silence or put on your favorite mellow music and just watch your thoughts over a cup of tea or one of my favorites Rose Golden Milk.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 11 )
Today we finish our journey through the chakra system.
It’s an important part of how we percieve these energy centers that are a part of us emotionally, physically, and spiritually each and every day.
Creating a relationship with these ancient teachings is another tool and road map to listening to the natural intelligence of your body’s wisdom.
Seventh Chakra
The Sahasrara chakra or the “thousand petal lotus” chakra is located at the crown of the head.
This is the chakra of enlightenment and spiritual connection to our higher selves, others, and ultimately, to the divine. It is located at the crown of the head.
The seventh chakra, Sahaswara, is referred to as the thousand-petal lotus chakra. This is the top chakra of the seven and located at the crown of the head. Sahaswara is our source of enlightenment and spiritual connection to all that is. It is a connection to our higher selves, to every being on the planet, and ultimately the divine energy that creates everything in the universe.
True opening of Sahaswara means the realization that you are pure awareness. You are pure consciousness, undivided, and all expansive. Like a drop in the ocean, you are a part of that ocean that contains and encompasses every aspect of it.
Emerging From the Murky Waters
The lotus flower is a symbol in both the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. It is nurtured, grows, and emerges in muddy waters. It blooms where there is no clarity. The beauty of the lotus is unique to its environment, which appears monotonous and lacks vibrancy.
When you reach the unfurling of the seventh chakra, you emerge through the confines of the physical body, the ego, mind, and intellect. You even push beyond the individual soul that ties you to Samsara, the endless cycle of birth and rebirth. You are freed from the shackles of desire. White light surrounds your body and you appear to stand out in your murky surroundings.
The color for the crown chakra is violet or white and the mantra sound is the universal sound of OM.
Take a moment to go through the journal prompt closing your eyes and feeling into where you are connected and where you may feel blocked.
The more awareness you bring you may notice heighten sensation or quick shifts.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 10 )
Sixth Chakra
The Ajna chakra is located in between the eyebrows. It is also referred to as the third eye chakra.
Ajna is our center of intuition. We all have a sense of intuition but we may not listen to it or heed its warnings. A focus on opening the sixth chakra will help you hone this ability.
Ajna chakra is in the area of the third eye, which is found in the space between the eyebrows. It encompasses the pituitary gland, eyes, head, and lower part of the brain. An invisible yet powerful third eye, this is your center of intuition. A spiritual chakra, which means “beyond wisdom,” Ajna leads you to an inner knowledge that will guide you if you let it. An open sixth chakra can enable clairvoyance, telepathy, lucid dreaming, expanded imagination, and visualization.
The Sixth Sense
Your world is experienced through the five senses. Even before you passed through the womb, you heard noises like your mother’s voice and heartbeat, and listened to muffled sounds outside. You experienced touch, taste, and even perceived light. And since the moment of birth, you’ve attributed your experiences to what you perceive through the senses. You’ve learned to trust your senses in what you can taste, smell, touch, see and hear. While sense perception is great in life experience, it limits you when it comes to expanding your spiritual awareness.
Feeling Your Way to Intuition
Your physical senses can give you clues as to how to follow your intuition.
At one time, you had to count on your sense of intuition and inner knowing. Before modern technology, we had to rely on signals from the environment and a more primal instinct to guide us. Just like birds can sense when a tsunami might hit, or squirrels know when it’s time to gather food for the winter, humans too have an intuitive sense. We’ve simply lost touch with it as well as our ability to trust in it.
Ask Your Inner Knower for Guidance
You can also use your inner sense to ask for guidance to make the right decisions. Taking into account your mind, intellect, and ego, you are now including your soul in the decision making process. Just as you turned to the third chakra in the area of the solar plexus to guide you with comfort or discomfort, you will pay attention to a hunch or a subtle feeling of moving forward or holding back. If you are conflicted, ask for your sense of intuition to be opened to you in order to help give your mind the clarity it needs to make the right choice.
How to Balance Ajna
Just like any of the spiritual chakras, Ajna is best balanced through meditation. Often, new meditators will report having a tingling feeling in the third eye or equate it to a headache. A tingling or pulsating sensation around the area of the third eye during or after meditation is a sign that you are opening this blocked chakra.
Take a deep inhalation and exhale the word AUM with the emphasis on the “M” sound while creating a buzzing sound like a bee. Do this for two minutes or more. You can alleviate tension in the head and this healing practice will work to open the sixth chakra.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 9 )
The Chakras of Spirit
Fifth Chakra
The Vishuddha chakra is the fifth chakra, located in the area of the throat.
This is our source of verbal expression and the ability to speak our highest truth. The fifth chakra includes the neck, thyroid, and parathyroid glands, jaw, mouth, and tongue.
Authentic expression is not something that comes easily. There’s a delicate dance between saying what you mean and staying tactful or diplomatic. Often it’s easier to say what the other person may want to hear instead of speaking your truth.
Fear of not being accepted or judgment from the other may hinder your truthful verbal expression.
Work on the lower chakras will help prepare you for this level of communication. For example, when you align the first and second chakras, it helps with overcoming fear. Opening the third chakra helps you to feel your personal power and have the confidence to express yourself. Knowing what’s in your heart comes when you align the fourth chakra. Then, when it comes to verbalizing your needs, desires, and opinions you’re better able to determine how to be truthful to yourself and others.
Express Your Truth
If you’re used to being accommodating, rather than saying what you want, you may have to practice out loud to yourself. Affirmations are useful in making what you desire a reality. Write down what you might want to express to others.
Then Write out the best phrase you will say. Practice it in front of your mirror.
Speak and Listen With Compassion
Dr. David Simon often refers to the following ancient wisdom. He says that there are three gateways you should cross before speaking.
First, ask yourself, “Is what I am about to say true?”
If so, proceed to the second gateway and ask, “Is what I am about to say necessary?”
If the answer is yes, go to the third gateway and ask yourself, “Is what I am about to say kind?”
Speaking your highest truth doesn’t mean you’re allowed to be hurtful or critical. The truth from your spiritual essence will come across as kind and compassionate.
Listening is another aspect of the fifth chakra. The highest form of listening includes giving the other person your full attention. This means putting away electronic devices or turning them off and waiting to hear the other person completely before responding.
Chanting, singing, humming, and reading aloud are wonderful ways to open the fifth chakra. In fact, the mantra sound for this chakra is HUM.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 8 )
The Sanskrit word for the fourth chakra is Anahata, which means “unstruck” or “unhurt.” The name implies that beneath the hurts and grievances of past experiences lies a pure and spiritual place where no hurt exists.
The fourth chakra is at the center of the seven chakras with three below and three above. This is the area where physical and spiritual meet. The fourth chakra also referred to as the heart chakra, is located at the center of the chest and includes the heart, cardiac plexus, thymus gland, lungs, and breasts. It also rules the lymphatic system.
When your heart chakra is open, you are flowing with love and compassion, you are quick to forgive, and you accept others and yourself. A closed heart chakra can give way to grief, anger, jealousy, fear of betrayal, and hatred toward yourself and others.
The Fourth Chakra: The Connection Between Matter and Spirit
Located at the heart center Anahata, is in the middle of the seven and unites the lower chakras of matter and the upper chakras of spirit. The fourth is also spiritual but serves as a bridge between our body, mind, emotions, and spirit. The heart chakra is our source of love and connection.
When we work through our physical chakras, or the first three, we can open the spiritual chakras more fully.
The mantra sound corresponding to the fourth chakra is the sound YUM. A special mantra to help expand love and compassion is OM MANI PADME HUM. You can repeat this mantra in meditation to gain greater access to these qualities.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 7 )
Today we enter into day 7 of our collective journey!
Journal Prompt :
Feeling into your daily practices notice what seems to come easy and what is harder to make time for in your daily routine.
Are you able to meditate…. stretch….dance …and reflect each day?
Finding the keys to unlock unconscious patterns instantly creates more time and spaciousness. Write about your process thus far.
Honoring your body as a living temple and your practices are multitudes of ways to connect deeper to your truth and essence each day.
Even on low energy days turn up the music and roll around on the floor like a cat if need be.
Listen to what your body’s wisdom is telling you…….
Moving into the Third Chakra
The Manipura chakra means lustrous gem and it’s the area from the navel to the breastbone. The third chakra s our source of personal power. It is a source of personal power and governs self-esteem, warrior energy, and the power of transformation. The Manipura chakra also controls metabolism and digestion.
When you feel self-confident, have a strong sense of purpose, and are self-motivated, your third chakra is open and healthy. If you're experiencing chakra imbalance, you can suffer from low self-esteem, have difficulty making decisions, and may have anger or control issues. This means that your solar chakra is blocked and therefore cannot achieve its full potential.
Location: The solar plexus is located around your navel area of the body near your upper abdomen and breastbone. Due to its location, it is also connected with the digestive system. The solar plexus is the third of seven major chakras in the body. This area of your navel must be open in order to feel the self-confidence and sense of purpose that you wish to achieve.
The mantra sound for the third chakra is RAM.
Chanting this sound will help to open and align the chakra.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 6 )
Moving through the Chakras from the root up we enter into
Svadhisthana, the 2nd Chakra is also known as the creativity and sexual chakra.
It is located above the pubic bone and below the navel and encompasses the genital region and the hypogastric plexus. The word svadhisthana can be translated as “the dwelling place of the self,” and the element of the second chakra is water, which equals cohesiveness. A balanced second chakra leads to feelings of wellness, abundance, pleasure, and joy.
When this chakra is out of balance, a person may experience emotional instability, fear of change, sexual dysfunction, depression, or addictions.
You can open this chakra with creative expression and by honoring your body. The energy of this chakra is feminine, passive, and lunar.
As humans, it is part of our nature to create. This creativity can be expressed as procreation but the second chakra energy is certainly not limited to making babies. When we cook, bake, or garden, we are creating. We create when we find a new solution to an old problem. Any time we take raw materials, physical or mental, and transform them into something new, we are using our creative energy.
Besides being open to creativity in your daily life, you can balance the second chakra by maintaining a healthy sexual life and honoring and respecting your body. Get in touch with your emotions and see if there are any feelings you’re holding onto. Make a commitment to process those emotions in a healthy way.
Left nostril breathing called Ida Nadi breathing will help to open up the second chakra as it brings forth lunar energy. Simply close your right nostril with the first two fingers of your right hand and inhale and exhale through the left nostril, only for 8 to 10 breaths.
The mantra sound that corresponds to the sacral chakra is the sound VAM.
By chanting VAM, the vibrations will open and align this chakra.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 5 )
As we enter day 5 on our journey we bring our focus to the ancient understanding of our energy through the lens of Chakras. You could spend your whole life working with these and forever stay an inspired student.
Let’s look at how we relate to each Chakra and see if we are in or out of balance starting with strengthening the Root and working our way up!
What are Chakras?
The Sanskrit word Chakra translates to a wheel or disk. In yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda, this term refers to wheels of energy throughout the body. There are seven main chakras that align along the spine, starting from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. The spheres run along the spine, but extend through and past the front, back, and both sides of your body. Chakras are a spinning vortex of energy that is not seen by the human eye but can be seen, felt, and sensed with intuition. This invisible healing energy, called Prana is a vital life force, which keeps us vibrant, healthy, and alive.
The Importance of the Main Chakras in the Body:
These swirling wheels of energy correspond to massive nerve centers in the body. Each of the seven main chakras contains bundles of nerves and major organs as well as our psychological, emotional, and spiritual states of being.
Since everything is moving, it’s essential that our seven main chakras stay open, aligned, and fluid. If there is a blockage, energy flows are restricted.
Think of something as simple as your bathtub drain. If you allow too much hair to go into the drain, the bathtub will back up with water, stagnate, and eventually bacteria and mold will grow. So it is too with our bodies and the chakras.
Since mind, body, soul, and spirit are intimately connected, awareness of an imbalance in one area through chakra meditation will help bring the others back into balance.
Root chakra—Mūlādhāra is the chakra of stability, security, and our basic needs. The root chakra is comprised of whatever grounds you to stability in your life. ... The Root Chakra provides the links between our energetic system and the physical world and is our base for our life force energy.
Located at the base of the spine, the pelvic floor, and the first three vertebrae, the root chakra is responsible for your sense of safety and security on this earthly journey. The word Muladhara breaks down into two Sanskrit words: Mula meaning “root” and Adhara, which means “support” or “base.”
It encompasses the first three vertebrae, the bladder, and the colon. When this chakra is open, we feel safe and fearless.
While meditation does connect you to a higher spiritual plane, it also serves to ground you. You may not always be able to trust that the world will give you what you need to survive, but the connection to your higher self and trust in a power higher than yourself will give you what you need to feel safe.
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 4 )
As we enter into Day 4 of our journey we focus on Play!!!!
How do we play?
For some, this is so easy and for others, it’s hard to get out of our heads and find ourselves rolling around on the floor laughing till it hurts.
We can actively invite in more playfulness and exercise these aspects of how we perceive our environment. Explore what is your favorite ways of access your playfulness?
Get creative
Let your wild woman out to play!
"Play is something done for its own sake.
"It's voluntary, it's pleasurable, it offers a sense of engagement, it takes you out of time. And the act itself is more important than the outcome."
As you age, your brain goes through changes that can slow down your thinking: It loses volume, the cortex becomes thinner, the myelin sheath surrounding the fibers of your neurons begins to degrade, and your brain receptors don't fire as quickly. With awareness, you can continue to nourish your brain at any age.
Activation Prompt:
Turn on your favorite music and paint, draw, dance, create rituals, go outside and make mandalas with all the natural elements around you.
Let yourself feel the muses and see what wants to come forward.
Take a moment to feel into the vibration…
Jump with a jump rope or hula hoop.
Break out the boardgames make a strong cup of tea, sprawl out onto the floor, and take us some space.
Whatever it is feel it fully…….
Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 3 )
As we enter day 3 it’s a time for exploring what practices you may already have.
Feeling into your own relationship with meditation & movement.
Have you ever combined the two?
What does a spiritual practice look like in your daily life?
We invite in sound healing & mantra as we are divine instruments tuning our entire beings.
Move your body today in any way that feels explorative this is a time to invite in your primal self and simply feeling into your body each day.
The Gayatri Mantra is one of the most powerful Mantras dedicated to the Mother of the Vedas and the Goddess of the five elements. The Mantra is a part of the Rig Veda's third Mandala which has 62 hymns. ... The reason why Goddess Gayatri holds such an esteemed position is that she represents infinite knowledge.
The Gayatri Mantra Translated:
The eternal, earth, air, heaven. That glory, that resplendence of the sun.
May we contemplate the brilliance of that light.
