40 Days of Fearless Heart
A Practice to Steady the Mind & Restore the Fearless Heart
Live Online Fridays
10-11am US PST / 12-1pm US CST
May 15 – June 26, 2026
What becomes possible when you recognize support as your ancestral inheritance – not something you have to earn alone?
40 Days of Fearless Heart is a donation-based group practice & study rooted in one ancient mantra from the Devi Mahatmyam — the Sarva Swarupe Sarveshe, a sacred Durga mantra chanted for centuries to steady the mind, dissolve fear and anger, and invoke the protection of the supreme power.
For 40 days, we chant this one mantra. Not to acquire fearlessness — but to remember it. The fearless heart — the fearless hridaya — is something you uncover. A light that has always been present, waiting to be recognized.
Through sound and steady practice, we'll explore how to steady the mind when fear and anger arise, recognize the invincible light that fear cannot extinguish, return again and again to the unshakeable nature you already carry, and tend that light as a daily practice of devotion.
This practice is led by Steph Chee and is offered by donation. 60% of all proceeds go directly to support the Healing Turtle Island ceremony this July at LandPeace Foundation — an indigenous-led organization in Monroe, Maine dedicated to restoring ancestral relationship with the land.
-
You sense there is something in you that difficulty has never actually touched — and you want to know it more fully
Fear or anger regularly destabilizes your mind and you're ready for a practice that works at the level of vibration
You want a contemplative practice rooted in ancient tradition, not modern wellness
You lead, guide, or hold space for others and need to resource yourself from a deeper place
You are new to mantra and want a genuine, lineage-rooted entry point — or you are experienced and ready to go deeper with a single practice

Online Fridays 10:00am PST / 1:00pm EST
May 15 – June 26, 2026
* All sessions approx. 60 min, hosted live online with Steph Chee
Week 1 — Analātmikām: She Whose Intrinsic Nature Is FireMay 15
Meet the mantra and its source: the Devi Mahatmyam, the 700 verses of Durga. Explore hridaya — the heart as cosmic force that receives, gives, and circulates. Understand fearlessness as something revealed, not created. Establish the daily practice container.
Week 2 — Sarva Swarupe: You Who Exist in All Forms
May 22
Durga is not outside you — she is the intelligence that moves through all of it. This week we explore the practice as a remembering of your own nature, and work with what arises in the first week: resistance, distraction, the mind that says it doesn't have time.
Week 3 — Sarva Shakti: Possessor of All Powers
May 29
The mantra begins to move. What does it mean to hold all powers — not as dominance, but as wholeness? We explore the practice of meeting fear and anger with something equal or greater, and what steadiness actually feels like from the inside.
Week 4 — Live Q&A Gathering
June 5
Bring your questions, your resistance, your breakthroughs. Share your experience of the practice at the midpoint. Collective wisdom deepens what individual practice opens.
Week 5 — Bhaye Bhyastraahi: Protect Us from All Forms of Fear
June 12
We turn directly toward what the mantra is actually doing: not eliminating fear, but revealing the light that is stronger than it. Work with specific fears and the places where anger and reactivity arise — and practice meeting them with the mantra.
Week 6 — Durge Devi: The One Who Is Difficult to Reach
June 19
Durga's name means the one who is hard to approach — the innermost, most invincible part of you. This week the mantra moves toward fluency and the practice becomes more interior: chanting from memory, chanting in silence, chanting as breath.
Week 7 — Namostute: I Bow to YouJune 26
Closing ceremony. The bow is not submission — it is recognition. We honor 40 days of returning. The practice does not end; it roots. How to carry the fearless heart forward as a living, daily remembering

Om Sarva Swarupe Sarveshe, Sarva Shakti Samanvite
Bhaye Bhyastraahi No Devi, Durge Devi Namostute
The Sarva Swarupe Sarveshe is a single verse from the Devi Mahatmyam — the 700 verses of Durga, one of the most revered texts of the Sri Vidya Tantric tradition. Its meaning moves across a remarkable arc:• Om: the supreme sound, the ground of all
• Sarva Swarupe: you who exist in all forms
• Sarveshe: goddess of all — the supreme power
• Sarva Shakti Samanvite: you who hold all powers
• Bhaye Bhyastraahi No Devi: O Goddess, protect us from all forms of fear
• Durge Devi Namostute: salutations to you, O Durga
Chanted for centuries to remove instability of mind due to fear and anger, this mantra does not ask you to suppress what you feel. It reminds you of what you are made of — something invincible, something luminous, something that fear moves through but cannot inhabit.
You don't need prior experience with chanting, mantra, or Vedic texts. Everything is taught from the ground up, in accessible language, with full transliteration, translation, and audio support.

This is more than a course. It’s……
Complete Mantra Instruction
Time commitment: 10–25 minutes daily
You'll work primarily with the 9th mantra of Sri Sukta throughout the 40 days, while also building fluency with the complete 16-mantra practice. Through daily repetition with mantra 9, you'll attune to the Sacred Feminine as the unconquerable source of support—the eternal nourishment that flows through generations, the patient foundation that holds both what flourished and what struggled in your lineage.
During live sessions, you'll learn all 16 mantras through call-and-response practice, giving you the option to expand your daily practice to include the full Sri Sukta as you become comfortable with each mantra.
The mantras are taught in Sanskrit with transliteration, translation, and deep contextual exploration—no previous experience required.
