Experiencing the shift within…
Mantra is a combination of two Sanskrit words, ‘mana’ (mind) and ‘tra’ (tool). They help the mind connect with the higher consciousness. Mantras are powerful meditation and therapy tools which when chanted, recited, whispered or simply hummed have the ability to free the mind of the never ending chatter while calming the nerves at the same time. Mantras aid concentration in meditation, shushing the constant chatter of the mind and embracing stillness to hear the sound of the Universe within. The high vibrations of the mantras helps to mindfully focus attention on the thoughts, emotions and patterns of the mind. Mantra meditation brings deep healing as mantras work at a deeper level to create lasting effects. Consistency is the key with mantra meditation.
Choosing a Mantra
When it comes to choosing a mantra for our practice, it is okay to find ourselves quite overwhelmed with the abundance of mantras to choose from. Always trust your intuition and be guided by it to choose a mantra that resonates with you the most. There is immense wisdom and magic within us to guide us to the mantra that calls us in that particular moment in which we need it the most. I truly believe that the mantra chooses us if we are open to listening to it’s call and are intuned with our intuition. Know your mantra and its deeper meaning as each mantra’s deeper meaning connects you to life, the Universal Life Force and the Divine within you.
Incorporate intuitively and mindfully chosen mantra into your daily meditation practice and LET THE MAGIC BEGIN!!!
Here are a few widely known Sanskrit mantras:
- OM (AUM)

Creating a Practice
Creating a meditation practice based on mantras and their healing abilities is quite simple but very effective in stilling the mind. Repetitive recitation of the mantras with focused attention allows the mind to be in a meditative state bringing deep relaxation and enhancing its ability to cope with life’s unexpected stressors. Give yourself at least 21 days to meditate on a mantra with awareness, allowing the mind to completely immerse itself in the deeper meaning of the mantra so as to experience the healing benefits of mantra meditation. The idea is to give the mind enough time to use the mantra meditation as a tool to connect to the higher consciousness by repetitive recitation of the mantra with complete awareness of its true meaning, completely shutting the mind from the outside world and connecting with the Divine within.
Here’s how we can easily create a mantra meditation practice:
- Create a sacred place
Light up a candle, burn an incense or dim the lights; whatever works best for your soul. There is no right or wrong way or place to meditate but having a sacred place to go to which is calming and inviting helps set the mood. - Recite the mantra
Recitation of the mantra itself, it’s sound or simply humming it helps connect the mind with the higher consciousness. There is no rule book that works here. Always be guided by intuition. - Be thankful for the meditation practice
Attitude of gratitude brings humility and aids in the meditation practice. Creating the thought, choosing the mantra, creating a sacred place and shushing the mind to recite the mantra are all steps in the right direction which lead to the Divine within and a grateful soul sees the light within with minimal consistent effort. - Open your heart to receive the bounties of the Universe
The Universal Life Force flows freely in the Universe and within each one of us. It takes courage to open the delicate petals of the soul one by one to see the light within and connect with the Divine within. It takes a patient and an open heart filled with love and compassion to receive the bountiful blessings of the Universe. Complete surrender in the present moment is the key to channeling the bounties of the Universe to and from an open heart. - Know that the Universe supports you
The Universe is always guiding and supporting you in it’s unique ways. In order to listen to the calls of the Universe, align with your intuition, use mantras as tools to connect with the higher consciousness and raise the vibrations of your soul. In doing so, remember to trust the process and believe that the Universe has your back. The soul knows the path to light; walk with faith in the heart, embracing what comes along while anchoring in the chosen mantra.
