Quote: The mantra is powerful because it begins to drive the mind in a new direction – toward wisdom, strength, and abiding joy -Eknath Easwaran Chapters 0:26 Introduction to Mantras 3:56 The Power of Repetition 8:31 Benefits of Mantras 13:02 Choosing Your Mantra 17:06 Using Mantras in Daily Life 18:35 Invitation to Experiment Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the transformative power of mantra as a tool for healing, inner peace, and overall well-being. Inspired by a recent discussion in our Facebook group about the habits that aid in managing anxiety, I recognized the need to explore the often underappreciated practice of mantra. While meditation is frequently celebrated for its benefits, the concept of mantra deserves special attention for its unique ability to cultivate calm and focus through repetition. Drawing upon the teachings of Eknath Eswaran, a pioneer in the integration of meditation into Western education, I emphasize how mantra—derived from the Sanskrit words for "mind" and "tool"—serves as a method of centering our thoughts and invoking deeper levels of awareness. Eswaran's approach highlights how a mantra can become a living force in our lives, shaping our consciousness and directing us toward peace and love. I share personal reflections on my journey with mantras, including how consistency in practice has profoundly impacted my emotional landscape over the years. #AnxietyRelief #Meditation #Mantra #HealingJourney #InnerPeace #Mindfulness #StressManagement #MentalWellness #SpiritualGrowth #SelfCare #Wellbeing #EknathEswaran #RelaxationTechniques #PersonalDevelopment #EmotionalRegulation #CognitiveHealth #HolisticWellness #Breathwork #YogaNidra #SoundHealing #Affirmations #PositivePsychology #Resilience #TraumaInformed #SomaticPractices #NervousSystemRegulation #Neuroplasticity #Consciousness #Spirituality #EasternPhilosophy #WesternPsychology #ChristianMeditation #BuddhistMeditation #HinduMantras #SufiPractices #Prayer #IntentionSetting #DailyPractice #SelfCompassion #GroundingTechniques #PresentMomentAwareness #MindBodyConnection Learn more about your ad choices.

1:13.7	In today's episode, I'm talking about the power of mantra and using a mantra for healing,
1:20.8	for peace, and for inner calm. A few weeks ago in our Facebook group for the Anxiety Coaches podcast membership,
1:31.5	the group coaching, I posted a post that said, what's a habit or routine that has helped you
1:40.5	manage anxiety? And then people all give their comments, right? Well, coach Sean said,
1:48.4	I know you all know what I'm going to say. It starts with a capital M. And yes, everyone knew
1:55.9	it was meditation. I responded with mine starting with a capital M also. Can anyone guess?
2:05.1	Well, it took longer than I expected to have mantra show up in the comments.
2:10.5	So I thought it must be time to talk about mantra on the show. Maybe I haven't mentioned it lately.

2:29.4	often. We're very busy and we want quick fixes and instant gratification. We want to scroll and get an answer.
2:38.3	I know I fall into these categories too. And when we can begin to learn about slowing down and using a repetitive action, which is what a mantra can be a part of, a repetitive action,
