Daily Mantra
Introduction
What I have written in this book of mantras, I received somewhere along my life’s journey; we stand on the shoulders of giants. What we have heard and regurgitate is plagiarism; what we have learned and integrated is shared wisdom. Nothing is uniquely mine. Before I could read, there was a barrier between author’s experiences and insights and my ability to access and relate to it. When I crossed that barrier and learned to read, author’s world became one with mine. In this book, I share with you the gems of my direct experiences, shaped by the wisdom of all who have influenced me. Among these influences are my clients. Mahalo for your trust, your wisdom and your open expression to growth. Mahalo also for sharing your magnificent journey, every one of you has touched my life in deep and meaningful ways.
I have also been guided by teachers such as Louise Haye, Mooji, Ram Das, Katherine Woodward Thomas, Richard Rohr and countless gift carriers of new thought and spirituality. Where I can reference the exact contribution, I will provide quotations and source references. Otherwise, I humbly acknowledge the presence of these teachers in my discoveries from intimate and direct experience in my soul.
My choices have been shaped and guided by my council of women. I have decided not to mention names here, we are an intimate circle of kind, loving, intelligent and wise females who have not gone un-scathed by life. Women who have refused to crumble under the weight of sorrow, disappointment and loss. Women who hold each other up and provide listening, suggestions and perspective which I trust.
I have been given a leg up out of the illusion of fantasy through the painful and joyful union and ending of my intimate relationships as I reflect on my part in the dance we shared of agreements and soul contracts from pure love.
The intention of these mantras from Maui are to serve and support your discoveries of channels to freedom from fear, anxiety, depression and patterns of unhealthy behaviors. As you use these mantras as your daily food for thought; ask, is what I read here going to assist? If not, give it no attention. Stay in the witnessing presence of your own experience; in the silent perceiving heart space. Don’t give it to the mind; no need to suppress or control the mind, rather, stay in the heart and behold the beauty of God.
Love has come into focus for today’s mantra. True friendship crosses all boundaries of race, species, gender, socio economic, status and world view. Love is our inherent natural state in which, from which our true selves’ dwell. To fall in love and make one person a priority is practice love. To love is to know yourself. Fear creeps in from the conditioned mind; doubt of commitment, change of mind, suspicion, dislike changes the thought
of love. Love is non changing. Love is touching, seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling everything expansively. It has been said there is either love or fear. Today, be in love by present awareness beyond mind’s value system.
We live our greatest potential when we give up the fight. Peaceful beings stand on the foundation of choosing to let the grievances go. I believe that people act unconsciously when wounds of their past are unresolved. Talk therapy, therefore, is a sacred conversation where hurts are heard, and counsel is offered. New insights and ways of seeing and thinking resource us in participating in ways that create peace. There are many indigenous traditions that support this method of healing. Talking circles with elders where a structured process holds individuals accountable and restores connection. These mantras are invitations to seek ways of restoring connection with your true self and with others. My deepest intention is to inspire connection. Life is relational.
Mantra for Today
January 1, 2021
The first day of the rest of your life! It seems easy to truly understand the meaning of the words, The past is over
today, especially as we begin a new decade. Let these words in deeply, past is past
. Whether this year will be a happy one depends on us! Make inner peace and compassion the main path today and each day and see for yourself if this doesn’t bring happiness. Each of us is a contributor to happiness in our circles, each one a contributor to the care of our planet. It begins with inner peace and compassion. When the inner landscape is carefully attended to the extending space reflects this. Mindful choices based on conscious commitment to be an interior peace keeper.

Mantra for Today
January 2, 2021
The year 2020 has given us 20/20 hindsight illuminating what doesn’t work for the planet. We are now in a time of reflection and an opportunity to apply what we learn to a new and better normal. What seems evident is, it is time to give the feminine a turn at leadership. Equality, respect, self-determination and rights to all people is only sensible, and collaboration verses division needs to be our approach to conflict. Listening for understanding with one another verses I know already
. We need to take a humble approach to mistakes where correct and continue
replaces exile and damnation. We are on the cusp of transition, isn’t it obvious that our world is giving us every sign? Today, practice letting go of worn out ideas and long held beliefs and position yourself in an open space, mentally and spiritually and be open to participate in co-creating something better for all life on earth; something sustainable for now and the future.

Mantra for Today
January 3, 2021
Everything is for our growth. Emotional affairs can feel devastating in a couple. Once the initial shock subsides there is a rich opportunity to face the truth. Emotional affairs are the gateway to a vista of factors causing disconnection in the primary relationship. The heart longs to be known. When a couple fall into the mundane, a certain taking for granted happens. Not having the communication skills to bid to have needs met makes ripe the potential for a stranger to sing the hearts song. See it not as betrayal but rather take ownership for where each partner has betrayed their own needs for intimacy by being silent when conversation would be helpful. Many couples are shell shocked by conversation becoming hostile, so, they avoid conflict by suppressing their feelings. This makes an emotional affair easy to consider. Happiness comes when we do not hold our partner responsible for our inner comfort; taking responsibility for how we contribute to intimacy is key. Open honest non-blaming and non- accusing communication is a skillful way to keep the bond exclusive. Everything is an opportunity to grow. Today I use the hurt to look at myself, I am willing to change.

Mantra for Today
January 4, 2021
True empowerment is owning your experience. Self-accountability is more than responsibility, it is committing to personal growth through the emotional reactions stimulated by relationships. Whenever we blame the other, we give away our dignity, we reduce ourselves to victims. Moving through life in this way is to be stuck in childhood. Inner work is healing work. On this trajectory, we make ourselves available to relationships. We come to the relationship whole, willing to collaborate. No greater hell is there than living at the mercy of trigger reactions. Put down your defenses and go within. Here you will find your pure precious self-waiting for your compassion and release from the personal prison of illusionary victimization. Today, notice all the ways the finger is pointed at other and turn it towards self; not to blame self but to lovingly take the reins and heal the barriers to clear understanding.
Lovingly,
River
Mantra for Today
January 5, 2021
Where have we learned that punishment and harsh approaches bring favorable results? Childhood is rot with abuse at the hands of primary care givers. Children are verbally reprimanded, restrained and physically disciplined and yet behaviors are not corrected, they go covert at best. Why are we not raised with loving lessons of understanding and guidance? To persuade cooperation and train with lessons and natural consequences through means such as fables and loving compassion, would raise healthy minds and free spirits. Too many adults today are reactive beings, dysfunctional and rebellious. Today, reparenting self through ceremony of reclaiming childhood, committing to nonviolence towards self or other. Experiment today with seeing results from kind approaches verses the automatic reaction of punitive intentions.

Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced. —James Baldwin (1924–1987)
Conflict is part of every relationship. To be human is to error. When friction between people is not skillfully addressed, resentments build. With resentment
