Mantras

Mantras

Mantras are words that may be repeated over and over again while meditating.  Mantras provide a point to focus on and help increase concentration.

Repeating the Mantra in stressing everyday-life situations, may bring calm and relief because the Mantra is associated with the relaxed state of meditation.

Some mantras are mystical to the meditator (may be in a foreign language) and others are in understandable languages.
I prefer to use a mantra that has a meaning to me in a language that I understand.

Mantra: I mainly use the simple Mantra “peace and quiet”

On the inhale “(1) Peace (2) and quite“
On the exhale “( 3) Peace (4)  and quiet“.

“Peace and quiet” meaning a peaceful-heart and a quiet-mind so on the Peace I try to focus on the heart and on the Quiet I try to focus on the head.

I love myself fully
I deserve….
I am not my mind
