Mantra day one and a couple mediations complete. One more later before sleep, I think.

I accept that my life is unfolding as it is :exploding_head:

Edit to add… no wonder you gratidudes keep mentioning and recommending insight timer, what a tool(pun intended) the amount of stuff, for free, when you hit the search is pretty frickin great. Thanks for the tip friends. Namastae

Mantra Programm day 2
In the beginning just moved my lips, then it became easier. Wonderful mantra and background music.

Thoughts that came up in the end:
Softness and respect…
As a reminder I put this wonderful picture as background on my mobile

Day 2 :white_check_mark:

Being a newbie I found this one harder than yesterdays. But I loved it so much :heart:
I was able to let go and absorb the chant and the wonderful music in the background. I was reading the reviews and someone posted a link to the mantra and it’s on iTunes so I downloaded it.

Thanks for the pics

That was going to be my next googling :pray:t2::heart::hugs:

I snuck yesterdays in at bedtime and here I am checking in with day 2. I think because I am not new to mantra and chanting, chanting along with others who sing so beautifully is a little bit of a challenge. I have found that finding my own voice and seeing where the peaks and falls sit comfortably with me has been important to be able to really fall into a meditative state while chanting. Yesterday I tried to chant along outloud and it was a shit show so today I just did it in my head which worked much better for me.

For the last 10 years or so whenever I have been exposed to chanting during shavasana 7x’s out of 10 I have a big emotional release, this morning I had one as well. I can really feel a deep connection to the divine during these types of meditations. I feel safe, and loved.

I missed day two mantra by 27 mins due to my procrastinating defect. Oh well. I will do day 3 now.

Todays mantra class was absolutely not easy. I didn’t feel the mantra as harmonious and my thoughts didn’t calm down at all. Bad thoughts about work situation. Anyway… Looking forward to tomorrow and will do another meditation during the day.

Found some on my phone from a 30 day meditation challenge, a earlier yoga teacher of me created once. Including some mantra meditation.

Last night. They say it’s more beneficial to not do this at bedtime so you don’t fall asleep.


Well, I wanted to sleep last night so I did it anyway. :sleeping::zzz::zzz::zzz:
And I’d do it again :hugs:

Day 3 :white_check_mark:
I found this one even more difficult but I like the challenge. I wasn’t sure when to breath. She said to breathe normally but chanting and breathing normally isn’t normal for me. I’ll figure it out. I definitely want to do this one again.
I like the progression they are doing for me. I hope day 4 isn’t too hard.

This brought up a lot for me. At first it brought up memories from when I was a little girl and seeing the Krishna’s chanting in the airport. I can remember staring at their malas but just today I realized that it was a mala in their hand. Once I got out of my head I had a massive emotional release, my heart feels wipe open. I am going to pick up my friend (yoga teacher) right now because he needs a ride to teach our class. I am so grateful for him. Tonight I present my sponsee with her cake, so grateful for her too. Doing this mantra was the perfect way to start an amazing day. Shine bright everyone. :sparkles:

Ya, this one was very hard for me.

First of all I couldn’t get George Harrison, My Sweet Lord out of my head.
I too thought of the airport. Not like Stella though. It was nice to see your face pop up. We must have been Twinning :wink:
The airport I thought of was that dumb 1980 movie Airplane! :rofl::rofl::rofl: and I couldn’t stop giggling.
It was hard for me. I kept trying to keep up with the chanting. It was work. Half way through I let go and just listened. That was the move. I’m going to do that from now if I find myself working to hard to chant. I felt so much better when I let go and just listened. Looking forward to trying it again.
Day 4 :white_check_mark:
