9. Oṁ Tryambakaṁ

The liberation mantra known as Oṁ Tryambakaṁ, or the Mṛtyuṁjaya Mantra, comes to us from a tantric text known as the Mahānirvāṇa Tantra. It is traditionally chanted in order to overcome any kind of ailment or restriction — which pretty much makes it appropriate for nearly any situation! Ultimately, the kind of ailment we’re looking to overcome is the sickness of avidyā, or the ignorance of ourselves as anything other than purely divine and self-effulgent. The kind of restriction we’re looking to overcome is the bondage and drama of our life, and that liberation is called mokṣa.
