About this session
- Builds self-love
- Grounds the body
- Softens inner resistance
- Steadies the breath
Bradley Morris leads a seated chanting practice built around one ancient mantra, repeated 108 times, two rounds with each breath. You open with gratitude and ten deep belly breaths, then chant while any resistance softens like a lotus opening. Later, slow breath holds draw light up from the earth into your heart.
It suits anyone who wants to begin the day rooted in kindness toward themselves instead of rushing into it. Try it early in the morning, before messages and plans take over. The closing image of a boat's wake carries the feeling outward, and you can return to it whenever the day tests you.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why is the mantra chanted 108 times?
Bradley calls 108 a sacred number, and the count gives the practice a clear shape: you settle into a steady rhythm and stay with it. He chants twice with each breath, so the rhythm of breathing and chanting becomes one flow. He invites you to find a beautiful rhythm and remember your magnificence through it.
What does the mantra mean?
He explains that it speaks of you as divine love, the purest form of love possible. He asks you to picture people chanting it thousands of years ago in the temples of India. The words themselves are sung in their original language, so you can follow along by feel and hold the meaning in mind.
What should I do when resistance comes up while chanting?
You are asked to notice it rather than push it away. Then you encourage your body to soften and open like a lotus flower. Later, as you breathe into the energy behind your heart, the chant is paired with dissolving resistance and breathing into your fears.
What happens during the breath holds?
Around the fourteen-minute mark you take a slow breath in through the nose and pause at the top, locking the energy of love into your cells. On the exhale you send it down through your roots into the earth. Then you draw radiant light up from the earth, soften your shoulders, open your heart and pause at the empty bottom to feel your heartbeat.
What is the boat and wake image at the end?
It reminds you that when you move through life embodying love, you send ripples in every direction, like a boat's wake reaching distant shores. You are asked to see how many moments you can create that energy today. When life tests you, the practice is simple: come back to your breath, to gratitude, and to yourself.
