Forgot correct sounds of mantra at one point. Sometimes moved mala beads at wrong time. Lost concentration. Could not hear my heartbeat at times. But it was ok to me. I think I just need more practice.
Ok so this one really worked well for me. Having more to remember actually helped to control my wandering mind. Plus, it's a gorgeous day here in Connecticut, so the window is open, the birds are singing and there's a soft breeze - I'm sure this helped! One more thing, when we finished, I was at exectly the last bead of one cycle...lucky 108! I think the rest of the day will be a beautiful one ๐ฟ ๐ฌ ๐๐ป
good sitting with this today. felt steady and full even as drifted off a couple of times. your intermittent voice was a good prompt to return to the mantra. many thanks.
hmmmm... I found it difficult to connect with this mantra. I feel that I just don't know enough about this particular lineage? So there was resistance.
Loved this one. It slowed my breathing right down and softened my energy. I took exactly 108 beads to say my mantra. Perfect. It resonated so well. I thank you. ๐
I definitely feel this mantra is very special, and it felt not easier because for me meditating is never easy, but I was more able to be in the moment and less mindless. Thanks Nikki!
