Let this episode land softly in your day, right where you are. We're Mark and Maria (Juicy MagiK On the Daily) and today we’re sharing a practice that holds us close when the world gets loud: Japa meditation. It’s all about the feeling of the beads, the sound, memories tied up in repetition, and the simple joys of walking and chanting under the trees or in a quiet room (or even a cemetery, but that’s a story you’ll have to hear inside). You’ll hear family tales, sweet mishaps, loving ribbing, and what it’s like to come from a different tradition and slowly find comfort with a new, living practice. There’s room in this for everyone, whatever name or language or way brings you calm. No pressure, just presence. Find a few minutes of peace with us, maybe pick up your beads (or not, you can just listen). Thanks for stopping in. Peace, Haribol, and see you tomorrow.
