Here are three, simple phrases that may guide you into a serene meditation experience. As you say them silently in your mind, they serve to connect you with the aspect of you that is pure consciousness, also referred to as the soul or higher self. When you realize your mind has become tangled up in a thought, repeat each phrase and surrender once again to your “I Am” presence.
I am very still.
Nothing can disturb me.
I am supremely calm.
I’m grateful to Oana, a yoga teacher from Romania, who offered these mantras during a guided meditation at a yoga workshop I attended. I appreciated her slow and gentle guidance of simple movements focusing on the breath and the spiritual theme of loving kindness. The experience nourished me at all levels of my being. I hope you’ll consider giving these phrases a try during your next visit within.
