A mantra (from a western perspective) is a sound, syllable, word or phrase that we repeat that can raise or lower our vibration because of the energy and our belief  in it. In many traditions a mantra is regarded as a sacred sound that holds power. The word comes from 2 sanskrit words, manas (mind) and tra (tool) thus we use mantra as a tool to help our thoughts focus on that which is good for us.

​

Words & thoughts are things and hold power. If we think something and we repeat the thought or words over and over it becomes a belief. When my 2nd child was little I joined a group to help me get back in shape and my whole family benefited. I cooked us the food from the diet I was following and we had no junk food or heavy deserts in the house. He grew through the early childhood years eating healthy balanced meals. When he was 6 my marriage ended and we all struggled in our own ways, his brother had gained weight and he just wanted to be like his brother. He started saying over and over that he wanted to be fat like his brother, we tried to stop him but he wouldn't stop and then all of a sudden his whole body shape changed and he developed cellulite all over his body, the cellulite settled after a number of months but he was never that skinny kid again and it added a level of difficulty to his life that required work and effort that had not been there before.

Some mantras are ancient and were passed on by wise people who meditated and felt the sounds emanating from nature. When I first started using mantras as a tool for my own health, wellbeing and connection to the oneness that animates all life I felt an obvious positive change in my mind, my body and my life.  Through energy healing I discovered how to clean up my negative thoughts and how to use positive affirmations and mantra to support better health, accessing happiness and so much more.
