Removing Fear Of The Future (Dhan Dhan)
This meditation takes away your fears of the future, which have been created by subconscious memories of the past. It will command you to deal with your heart center. This Sikh shabd (prayer) from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib is in praise of Guru Ram Das, the 4th teacher in the Sikh lineage. A deeply devoted, compassionate, and loving being, Guru Ram Das gave of himself to all who were in need. Through his humble and devoted service to humanity, he became a light worker, a miracle worker. The gift of this shabd is its ability to bring miracles into your life.
