A mantra is a sound, a word or a verse, or
in essence is a mystical energy that resonates as sound. The meaning of Mantra – Man coming from the
Sanskrit manas meaning mind and Tra meaning to free, by using mantra and
concentrating on the mantra we can free our minds from all the confusions and
wrong ways of thinking, our problems that we seem to create can disappear into
love and true happiness which brings calmness and a magical sense of being at
peace. The benefits of repeating a
mantra either silently in the mind or out loud are huge, its energy can take
form and manifest by opening the heart, filling the mind with purity and
generating harmony and divine love.
Mediation on mantras bring relief from the
hustle and bustle of the mind and give us the space, energy and power to find
clarity. They inspire us at times when
we need support and bring courage to those who seek to move forward in a
positive direction.
Light beautiful divine light is there
within the mantra and is available to all who seek it, all we have to do so to
speak is plug ourselves into the current and let it flow through us to infinite
possibilities.
I have found a great refuge in the Mantra
OM. When I have been confused,
overwhelmed, unwell or sad, by sitting with a straight spine in a comfortable
pose, bringing the awareness to the breath and then mentally repeating OM in
time with my breathing with closed eyes, I have found great strength. Even a few moments for busy people is
incredibly beneficial.
When I have been in a difficult situation
or seen somebody struggling badly I have also used this mantra to send this
beautiful healing energy to that place or that person to offer support from
this universal energy, if done with the right feeling and intention the results
can be amazingly strong.
When I have pain in my knee from a torn
meniscus I chant OM into it and it is like sending soothing water into the
joint.
There are hundreds and thousands of mantras,
each as important and as powerful as the next, but I guess OM may be the
easiest for all of us to connect to without having to remember complicated
Sanskrit or get the sound vibration completely correct.
Each morning and each evening chant OM,
chant Om into your body, chant Om into your energies, chant OM into your mind,
chant Om into your heart, chant OM into the world. Chant OM for our own selves, chant OM for all
living entities, chant Om for Mother Earth.
Take the vow of Ahimsa, that of non-violence by chanting either silently
or out loud – OM for the protection of the sacred heart of love, compassion and
peace.
The vibrations that are produced through
the repetition of mantra will strengthen the memory of your true nature and as
a result your vulnerabilities either physical, emotional, or mental or all will
dissolve. In the Upanishads it is stated
that meditation reveals the mind, so chant Om repeatedly and allow the mind to
pause and rest in its own self.
Let us make peace peace perfect peace.
Have beautiful days and enjoy the power of
OM.
