40 DAYS OF ANCESTRAL GOLD
A Practice to Heal Lineage & Restore Spiritual Wealth
Live Online Fridays
10-11am US PST / 12-1pm US CST
Feb 13 - Mar 28, 2025
What if prosperity isn't something to manifest – but something to remember?
40 Days of Ancestral Gold is an online donation-based course of practice + study with the mantras and mindset of Sri Sukta, an ancient song to nature’s forces of inner and outer prosperity.
Co-hosted and supported by Stephanie Chee Barea and Amie Heeter, this 40-day journey awakens you to the vibratory resonance of fullness and wholeness – dispelling the isolation and unworthiness that modern life conditions into us, revealing that prosperity is not something you achieve alone—it's something you inherit, restore, and pass forward.
Whether you're new to the healing power of sound or have been working with mantras for years, this practice will deepen your relationship with the timeless wisdom that flows through sacred song—learning from your own experience and from one another through shared practice.
-
Sri Sukta is a cluster of 16 ancient Sanskrit mantras from the Rig Veda that honor the life‑giving forces of nature—growth, beauty, steadiness, nourishment, and grace. For centuries, these sounds have been used to help people attune their nervous systems to harmony and inner prosperity.
In this practice, we approach Sri Sukta not as rote learning but as something to listen to and live with. Through repetition and resonance, the practice gently loosens patterns of scarcity, isolation, or unworthiness and replaces them with a felt sense of wholeness.
You don’t need prior experience with chanting, meditation, or Vedic texts. The teachings are translated into accessible language and embodied practices that meet you where you are.

Time commitment: 10–25 minutes daily
You'll work with the 11th mantra of Sri Sukta throughout the 40 days, building both understanding and embodied experience. Through daily repetition, you'll create a sustained invitation for the Sacred Feminine consciousness of prosperity to reside in your lineage, and to transform inner wealth into blessing.
You'll cultivate a felt sense of receiving—not earning—as you sit with the resonance each day and notice how your relationship with ancestral prosperity begins to shift.
The mantra is taught in Sanskrit with transliteration, translation, and deep contextual exploration—no previous experience required.
Contemplative Prompts & Self-Inquiry
Daily contemplation and self-inquiry prompts arrive in your inbox to deepen your engagement with themes of:
Ancestral wounds and wisdom around money, worthiness, and belonging
The feminine face of prosperity as relational, generative, and generous
What it means to ask for blessings not just for yourself, but for your entire lineage
The alchemy of Kardama: transforming inner gold into tangible grace
These self-revealing practices awaken your capacity to know yourself as part of a lineage deserving of eternal blessing.

Recognize inherited patterns around scarcity and worthiness
Offer blessing to ancestors who carried survival wounds
Request grace for descendants not yet born
Become a conduit of restoration in your lineage
This is sonic, energetic, and spiritual work that transforms at the level of vibration.

Receiving support and resources
Asking for what you and your lineage truly need
Creating work that blesses those who come after you

No. While this mantra comes from the ancient Vedic tradition and invokes the Sacred Feminine consciousness of abundance (known in the tradition as Lakshmi or Sri), this offering is non-dogmatic and experiential.

Hiranya is the Sanskrit word for gold that appears in this mantra, but it means far more than material gold.

What Students Say
-
Sue C., E-RYT 200
“Before beginning my studies with Stephanie, I wasn’t even aware there was a reality of the Divine Feminine. I love mantra, and am in awe of the mysterious way it is creating a sense of ‘enoughness’ in me that I’ve only hoped for over many years. The depth of knowledge, the language, and perfect word choice that Stephanie somehow always seems to find opens me. I begin to melt into who I truly am. I feel such gratitude to have somehow been guided to this ongoing course and to Stephanie as a teacher.”
-
Sarah H., RN, E-RYT 500
“Stephanie’s mantra courses are powerful offerings, beautifully presented! I can feel Stephanie's dharmic alignment pulsing through; authentic and with integrity. When shadow comes up on the seeker's path, as we know it will, there is no doubt the fire and the mantra and will transform it.”
-
Barbara S., RN, E-RYT 500
“Mantra tends to and strengthens my connection to the highest source of wisdom that is deeply embedded in my being. Thank you, Stephanie, for creating this container of support that focuses on illuminating the power of my soul and spirit. I feel blessed to have Stephanie as a guide and teacher in my life!”
