6 tips for chanting to clear karmas: Er Her Er Her Ar Ou Her
Happy Chinese New Year!
This is a year for big transformational shifts. Only once in every 60 years does the Universe offer such a strong boost to make profound shifts.
If you have been longing to make deep shifts in your life, like freeing yourself from fear, clearing heaviness from your heart and aligning with your power – this is the year!
This is also true for our collective. If we want to transform historical (and present day) traumas and cultivate a beloved community, we can take advantage of some pretty incredible support coming from the Universe.
When my teacher Master Lin did his annual energy reading of the year to come, he asked the Universe how we can best navigate the year and take advantage of the opportunities. In response he was given a chant:
Er Her Er Her Ar Ou Her
When I first saw this chant, I had two reactions. I felt excited because I’ve long been looking for a chant for clearing karmas. I also felt confusion; the “words” of the chant felt almost unpronounceable.
Once I figured my way around the awkwardness, this chant became my best friend. I chant it throughout my day and notice that it is very powerful for:
Opening the connection between head and heart
Freeing my true voice
Strengthening vitality
Clearing old spiritual and emotional wounds from the heart
Awakening intuition
This chant can also be your best friend. You can chant it to move through the challenging parts of 2026 more easily and to send healing to people or places that are suffering.
To help you get there, I made this video to break down how to work with the unusual nature of the chant. I have full-on geeked out about the position of the tongue and roof of mouth and unabashedly share how all these technical pieces add up to creating a healing channel of sound.
Please take a listen and if questions or thoughts come up, I’d love to hear them.
Love
