Feel the vibration
Mantra and meditation for clearing and protection
OM… said to be the sound or vibration of the universe or sometimes expressed as AUM whose three syllables represent the cycle of creation, maintenance, and destruction is a mantra we may have heard or uttered during a yoga practice.
Meditation with mantra is simple yet powerful. At a practical level, this practice of repeating a sound or word provides something for the mind to focus on, which can quiet its fluctuations. Mantra is something that can be incorporated whether a meditation practice is new to you, your going through a time when it’s more challenging for the mind to find stillness or if you’re simply wanting to add a layer or perspective to your meditation practice.
On another level, vocally expressing and feeling the vibration of these ancient Sanskrit syllables connects us with the ancient yogis and sages who have come before us- and is something sacred and universal. The mantras below support us inn letting go and building boundaries which Vedic astrology guides us to do this moon cycle.
