Mantras.
Sigh.
I guess I saved mantras for my last topic this month for a reason. They are definitely my weakest area when it comes to the aspects of meditation and mindfulness. While having a mantra isn’t a necessity, I’ve been encouraged numerous times to really give it a chance in my meditation practice as yet another step to focus and improve my experience.
Again, there are no rules for mantras. You can’t do it wrong!
Wait…maybe you can… Okay, so it probably wouldn’t be helpful if you focused your meditation on something really negative or anything that angers you.
Let’s just agree that there is no wrong mantra to use if it provides a positive feeling or has deep meaning for you personally.
But, what exactly is a mantra?
