Moon & Moss🧘 Meditation & Breathwork
Mantra meditation: A word to come home to
Repeat a word or phrase, silently or aloud, as your anchor. Wonderful if silence makes your mind louder.
In mantra meditation, a repeated word or phrase gives your mind something to hold onto. When you drift, come back to the words.
Some to try: "So hum" (Sanskrit, often translated "I am that"), matching so to the in-breath and hum to the out-breath; "Om"; the chakra seed sounds (LAM, VAM, RAM, YAM, HAM, OM); or a simple phrase like "I am here."
Helps with
- People who find silence hard
- Devotional practice
- Chakra work
Try this
Breathe in to a silent "so" and out to a silent "hum" for twenty breaths.
Meditation and breathwork are safe and helpful for most people, but not medical treatment. If a practice brings up distress, stop and ground yourself. People with a history of trauma, dissociation or psychosis may do best practicing with guidance from a qualified professional.
