How to Practice Mantra Meditation:
- Choose Comfortable Place: First, choose a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. You can sit on a chair, lie down, or even walk – just pick a comfy position.
- Set a Timer: Decide how long you want to meditate, anywhere from 3 to 30 minutes. Use a timer with a gentle, calming sound (like ocean waves) to signal the end of your meditation.
- Deep Breaths: Start with a few deep breaths. Focus on how your breath feels entering your body. No need to change your breathing, just notice it.
- Repeat Mantra: Begin saying your chosen mantra. You can either say it out loud or silently in your mind. Try to match the mantra with your breathing pattern.
- Flow with Your Breath: Let your mantra and breath work together. They will naturally find a rhythm. No need to force it.
- Handle Wandering Thoughts Gently: Your mind may wander during meditation. That’s okay! When it happens, don’t fight those thoughts. Just acknowledge them, let them drift away, and return to your mantra.
- Wrap Up Calmly: When your timer goes off, don’t rush to get up. Take a moment to sit quietly. Check in with yourself. Do you feel more relaxed or positive? This helps you reflect on your meditation.
