Feeling out of it?

Do you ever feel like there is too much going on in the world to process? Do you feel your mind racing through the things that happened in the past, the things you have to get done right now, or the things that could happen in the future?

You are not alone.

Aloha and welcome to Kerrville Yoga, my name is Mae and today, we are talking about Transcendental Meditation and how it can help you sync back up with your rhythm of peace and harmony.

Before you make a big decision, while you are setting your mindset up for success, or even after a crisis occurs, it can be easy to get lost in the fog. Not having mental clarity is not only scary, it’s also bad for your mental health.

Transcendental meditation can have an encouragingly positive impact on your mind if you make the time to give it a try. Don’t be surprised by how open minded you might feel after just one session.

Transcendental meditation is a method of meditation created by the yogi Maharishi Mahesh in the mid 1950’s. It includes sitting comfortably on the floor or in a chair, shutting down the eyes, and repeating a mantra several times quietly to yourself.

The word “mantra” means “mind track.” Think of the words transporting you to a new place. You can take a scripture out of the Bible or just say whatever rolls off of your tongue. It doesn’t even have to be words, just make a sound like “Om” to hop on the fast track to meditation.

Our Mantras this week:

May you be safe.

May you be free from accidents.

May you know how to nourish your soul everyday.

Pause.

Notice how you feel. Stay in this Zen state, still aware but focused on the feeling of being free from shame, guilt, or worry.

You are connecting with the present moment. Now is the time to open your mind and release any negativity that has been heavy on your heart.

Monitor your thoughts, tune in with the natural rhythm of your breath, and transform the way you are thinking by using your mantra. You can get back in sync with your true nature with a few minutes of transcendental meditation today.

Namaste,

Mae
