Breath and Mantra

Meditation for Empowerment

Nothing is more effective for self-empowerment than combining your own breath rhythms with a positive affirmation (mantra). Your mind and breath together guide your spirit into experiencing a calm, purposeful sense of rightness. Forming the habit of combining breath and mantra brings joy and enhances your life in so many ways.

Try this meditation taught by Yogi Bhajan: Sit with a straight spine. Relax your hands on your knees. Close your eyes and focus them on the point between your eyebrows. Take a full breath through the nose. Hold the breath, pulling your chest forward and silently repeat the mantra “Healthy am I, Happy am I, Holy am I” and then, as you exhale, repeat the words out loud. Practice this meditation for 11 minutes, finishing by holding the breath in and then exhaling to relax, meditating silently for 1-2 minutes. Enjoy the peace and calmness created by your own breath and mind.
