When everything feels a bit… sticky, Green Tara is the momentum you can trust. She’s the archetype of compassionate action – kind and quick. Think gentle nudge forward without the panic. Tara energy says: Let’s move, lovingly. Not hustle; helped movement.

This week’s mantra:

Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svāhā

Pronounced: om TAH-reh too-TAH-reh TOO-reh swuh-HAH

Theme for the week: Courage without rush. Help arrives, and I meet it.

How to practise (gentle and simple)

• Take your mala and soften the jaw and shoulders.
• Start at the bead next to the guru bead (we don’t count the guru).
• One bead, one repetition: Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svāhā.
• Let the rhythm be steady and kind; whispering is perfect.
• When you reach the bead before the guru, pause 30–60 seconds. Notice: where do you feel 2% more willing?

One round is 108 repetitions, about 6–8 minutes at an easy pace. Short on time? Half a mala still shifts your state.

What it means

• Tare – Tara, the liberator; the feeling of “you’re not stuck.”
• Tuttare – unravels fear and inner obstacles.
• Ture – swift, compassionate action; the next right step.
• Svāhā– “I offer this”; letting go, sealing the practice, and inviting it to take root.

In human terms:
💚 Help is here and I’m open to it.
💚 I can move forward without forcing.
💚 Courage can feel soft and sane.

Little notes from the practice room

• If your mind says “what if…?”, add softly: “…and I can handle it, one step at a time.”
• Visual cue: with each Ture, see a fresh green light unfurling the path one metre ahead.
• After chanting, choose one tiny action (email, call, calendar block) that embodies helped movement.

A gentle cultural bow

This mantra is honoured across Tibetan Buddhist lineages as Green Tara’s protective, liberating call. You’ll often hear the closing as “Soha” in Tibetan pronunciation. I’m using “Swaha (Svāhā)”, the Sanskrit/Vedic offering word that means “I offer/let this be so,” dedicating the practice into the sacred fire. Both forms are used respectfully within their traditions; follow the version given by your teacher and hold the intention with care.

Pocket intention & reflection

Before you begin: “I welcome the next right step.”
After you finish: “What’s the simplest action that keeps this ease moving?”
