Everyday personal mantras

[Scarlett Wampus]

So, do you have any everyday mantras? And if so, what are they?

By everyday I mean not common or classic, e.g. "let it come, let it be, let it go".

When I was fond of using a mantra during the first phase I went through when meditating I used to mentally repeat, "relax, let go, be aware" as a kind of steering rod.

Share. Share. Am curious.

"Hey, it's all good."

Or, my favorite......."It's all Buddha."

But I seem to resort to the first most of the time in my everyday conversations to myself and to others. Because, seriously, it's all good.




Peace,

"Oon Yellimon!" (sp?)

 

[Storm]

What does that mean, SeyornI?

 

[Valjean]

Ha! You missed the 60's counterculture, didn't you?

There was a humorous book: A Child's Garden of Grass, about marijuana use and the anti-pot establishment. In one section it discusses mantras, and recommends making one up. It proposes, as an example, Oon Yellimon.

 

[Storm]

Yeah, I did. Thanks for the explanation.

Om bhoor bhuva swahah tat savi tur varenyam bhargo dey vasya dhi mahhi dheeyo yoh na pracho dayaht
The Gayatri Mantra, its a classic in Hinduism, a translation below:

"O God, Thou art the giver of life, the remover of pain and sorrow, the bestower of happiness; O Creator of the Universe, may we receive Thy supreme, sin destroying light; may Thou guide our intellect in the right direction."
I have been saying this since i could talk. Always keeps my mind at ease, he is how to say it:

YouTube - Mantra

Just a lot faster. And certianly not with that accent.

Friend Scarlett,
Mantras are another method of meditation.
Mantras act in two ways.
1. The sound effect of the mantra slowly vibrates in the being and slowly the vibration emanates out of the body and has its effects.
2. In between each mantra there is a gap and that gap is a nothingness which slowly grows and IT happens.
