Today our practice is to work with mantra! Below I’ve listed some mantras to give you an idea of a mantra you could use as part of your practice. Please look through the mantras below and listen to which one speaks to you.

Today we will practice One Point Meditation with mantra. Much like we did on day 1, but this time your one point will be the mantra. If you already have a personal mantra that you feel deeply connected to, please use that one. Remember what my teacher Arora said in the post yesterday. “Hum it, listen to it or simply contemplate it.” Some of these mantras are chanted in song (a few examples below), these you could play and listen to with while in your practice or try walking meditation. Allow the practice to guide you instead of you guiding the practice. When working with mantra, it often will come to you vs. you trying to find it. Allow this organic process to begin today.
