In Calmness Lies Power

Did you know that the breath and the mind form a symbiosis? When we’re excited and one thought chases the next, our breath also becomes shallow and fast… luckily, it works the other way around too! When we manage to calm our breath in stressful moments, making it longer and deeper, the inner whirlwind can settle again. This way, we enter a meditative state and can look at things with a bit of distance.

Sounds wonderful, right? And somehow simple… but unfortunately, it’s not always that easy. Breath and mind are not naturally very willing to obey. Under pressure, they respond quite badly. Sometimes we need to trick them with some stretching, movement, or other activities that bring us back into the body. Or with a mantra.

A mantra has a magical effect on both breath and mind, it lifts them out of constant circling, soothes them, and returns them to their natural state.

Strength Lies in Stillness.

Here you’ll find a meditation that guides you into a meditative state in two steps: first through chanting, then through the breath. Give it a try and let me know how it feels for you!

The hands are in Gyan Mudra (thumb and index finger together), with the palms facing forward.
• Close your eyes, roll them up to the point between the eyebrows and monotonously chant the mantra: “Wahe, Wahe, Wahe, Wahe, Guru, Guru, Guru, Guru.”

• Continue meditating with the focus on the heart for 11 to 31 minutes.

Part 2:
