Meditation And Mantras

'A Mantra is a mystical energy encased in a sound structure . . . It steadies the mind and leads to the stillness of meditation.' The modern lifestyle with its excesses and worldly desires, the constant need to be connected, and the rapid development in technology, has made stress and lifestyle-related diseases the norm. The need for meditation thus is more acute. Meditation calms the mind, brings focus and enhances the senses, resulting in a better quality of life and work. And with the right Mantras, meditation becomes a highly effective tool in unleashing the immense potential within oneself. This book from the Sivananda Ashram explains what meditation and Mantras are and how they can be effectively used to recharge oneself with divine energy.

“Through mantra practice, positive karma flows freely into our lives ... desires are fulfilled ... spiritual abilities manifest ... and we have moved another step forward toward moksha—complete spiritual freedom.” —Thomas Ashley-Farrand Karma: the consequence of all of your actions, decisions, thoughts, and emotions. According to Thomas Ashley-Farrand, karmic patterns from the past are always with you, affecting everything you do—for better or for worse. With Mantra Meditation, you will learn how to use genuine Sanskrit mantras to balance your chakras (your body's seven spinning energy-centers) to dissolve negative karma. “When you begin to chant these ancient formulas,” teaches Ashley-Farrand, “the petals on your chakras begin to resonate, and they pull in spiritual energy.” With Mantra Meditation—designed as a 40-day practice or a lifelong tool—your spiritual energy grows, your karma disperses, and your path clears to bring you everything you desire through the fusing of your own efforts and the infinite generosity of the universe. Includes 15 guided mantra meditations and instructions for Sanskrit pronunciation.

This invaluable book of daily meditations and mantras will improve the wellbeing of anyone who wants to achieve a calmer, more stress-free, and joyful life. When life is so fast-paced and there are countless demands on us, it can become impossible to find time for ourselves. And Breathe… offers simple ways to stop, take a breath, and become present. From starting the day with self-care intentions to ending it with stillness and love, the meditations, mantras, and exercises will help you to cultivate greater awareness, presence, and calm so that every day, however busy, has some mindful moments that will benefit you both physically and emotionally. You will learn to pay more attention to the good rather than having a default of negativity, meet difficult moments with acceptance and curiosity rather than railing against them, and become more mindful and less judgmental of loved ones for better relationships. By experimenting with the techniques that suit you best, you will cultivate a more mindful way of being that can be sustained throughout your life.
