Yes!! Mantra are Tools for Stamina and Healthy Mental Support
What is a Mantra?
Mantra is a mystic sound formula. A sound, syllable, word or phrase endowed with special features, usually drawn from the scriptures in Sanskrit. I like to teach mantras, because – “Mantra serves as a boat, to take us across the ocean of unconscious”.
Manas= mind / Tra= transport.
Mantras are tools used to transport the mind.
Beeja mantra, the seed mantras of the Kakras (Chakras) are often taught and recited by Yogic Practitioners. However, there are many more other forms of Mantras and uses. Some include, healing, clearing, and personal (pranava) or Primordial Sound Mantras, of which I am honoured & Certified to deliver.
The vibrational qualities of the spoken and thought processes are indeed sounds; vehicles meant to free us.
Some thoughts, as you well know, can cloud our thinking if they are negative. While thinking what is good clears the fog our minds play tricks on us. Shutting of negative thinking is not always easy for some. It takes practice. In the same way, negative thinking cannot just be forced shut. As creatures of habit, we must recognize how negative thinking is the absence of thinking about what is good.
Now we all know, if there is darkness, is but the absence of light.
Focusing on the Good an ideal solution and Mantra phrases repeated in meditation are useful in harnessing the good.
Simple phrases like these below can change our resonance and bring us to the light of healing and higher consciousness:
“I love myself.” “I believe in myself.”
“I am connected to others.” “I am a good person.”
“I am the universe”. “I am whole”.
“I am perfect”. “I am Loving.”
We can change our thinking; the choice is yours, at any given time.
The solution is easier than you might think. You have heard of cure all’s? Meditation and using mantra is the gateway to affirming who we are, it is a proven therapeutic and easy.
Try this simple meditation technique:
- Find a comfortable seated position.
- Think or write out a phrase (mantra) you would like to infuse in.
- Set a timer for 2 minutes
- Close your eyes
- Breathe gently and slowly from your nose.
- Smile & gently begin repeating your phrase.
- With each breath repeat your mantra.
- At the end of the timer, slowly open your eyes.
- Reawaken to your relaxed, calm & loving self.
Flood your thinking with good thoughts and you change your view of the world. Whenever you remember, say your mantra or various phrases. Like lifting the shades to let the sunlight in, you can’t help but smile back 🙂
I quote my teacher, Deepak Chopra, MD: “Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It’s a way of entering into the quiet that’s already there – buried under the 50-80,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day.”
