"This practice has really helped me stay present and focused. Even if I am not practicing as much as I want, I always find a way to take some time to myself and repeat the mantra. It's a good reminder to let go of big thoughts and plans and truly just be in the moment. The added bonus is that long term effect of a more calm and healthy lifestyle. It's made a major impact on me and my whole family." ~Lora E.

"Self-care never came easily to me. In fact, I've spent most of my adult life keeping it at a distance, so learning and appreciating this practice took some time. Once I found my own reasons to engage with meditation and gave up on the idea of achieving some specific thing or feeling, a new world opened up to me. My relationship with the mantra is now like that of an old friend." ~Dustin S.

"I've practiced meditating for several years now and can honestly say that I'm a more compassionate, patient, and empathetic person because of it. I've learned how to find stillness and calm, how to better listen to my intuition, and how to forgive and let go of unwanted noise. I love how grounded I feel afterwards and the insights I get. It's helped me become a better parent, spouse, and friend." ~Loreni D.

As a meditator, you can experience a wakefulness beyond your thoughts and feelings.
With continued practice, this results in the loosening of the often adverse attachments we have to our judgements and the negative story lines we identify with —
allowing us to remain more present, aware, and joyful.
