Finding my anchor: How mantra saved my life.
I extend this invitation: delve into the world of Sanskrit mantras. Let their age-old vibrations guide you, as they did for me, from disarray to serenity, from instability to the profound steadiness that is our birthright.
Mantra meditation is like gardening for the mind
Much like homegrown produce provides your body with pure, unadulterated nourishment, mantra meditation feeds your mind with wholesome, positive energy. It's like serving up a mental feast of good thoughts. The act of chanting a mantra helps cleanse your mind of clutter and negativity, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, much like a healthy, home-cooked meal.

Ayurveda & Ritual
R I T U A L S
According to Āyurveda & yoga - ritual is a major healing practice in itself. Putting us in a proper frame of mind to receive the energies of our deeper consciousness.

Providing a positive “impression “ to nourish & heal the mind. A strong immunity & nervous system is not just about the food we put in our body - but the mental food, the impressions we take through the senses - sight, touch, smell, sound & taste all balance the subtle body ..

Perhaps the greatest gift of meditation is the quieting of the mind's constant commentary. The familiar and constant voice that judges and compares everything. It creates likes and dislikes, attraction and aversion, and all other dualistic states that create suffering. Mind chatter spills over into dreams
