Mantras-from CMHA Mantra Mondays Online



Key aspects of mantras
  • Purpose: Mantras are used as a focal point for meditation, helping to anchor you in the present moment and quiet mental chatter. They are used to focus on beneficial states of mind and protect against negative ones.
  • Origin: While often associated with Eastern religions like HinduismBuddhism, and Jainism, mantras can also be personal, positive phrases that resonate with you.
  • How they are used: They can be spoken aloud, whispered, or repeated silently in one's mind. The repetition is key to helping the mind stay focused.
  • Types:
    • Traditional: Ancient phrases with spiritual or religious significance, such as the Gayatri Mantra or Om Namah Shivaya.
    • Personal: Modern, secular phrases created for daily affirmations, like "I am present in the moment" or "I am strong, I am capable, I am kind".

Mantra's Protect The Heart From The Mind

Humee Hum Brahm Hum
To be human can be hard and you may find yourself at times feeling alone or isolated as you navigate tough choices and experiences. In times of stress like these, I find that my yoga practice, and especially chanting mantras can guide me back to a place of grace and strength. Humee Hum Brahm Hum might just be the ultimate mantra to offer support in isolating and difficult times.
 “We are We. We are One.” and “We are We. We are Divine.”
