Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore

anxiety, panic, and PTSD, sharing how you can overcome them for life.

Aloha, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast.

And now for today's show, we're talking about using a mantra for your anxiety and panic.

And what a mantra is and how it can help you.

I get this question often when we get talking in our group in particular about some bigger

issues, some deeper things than we get to sometimes here on the podcast because there's

more of a conversation in the group, and people can ask, I know you're over there right

now having questions, but you can't ask me, so I wanted to bring it up here on the show

because the mantra does get brought up here and there every once in a while.

And it's a wonderful, wonderful way to be able to tailor for yourself a tool, a touch

stone, if you will, a way of remembering your way home to your peace and calm.

So a mantra in and of itself is usually, it sounds like a mysterious word, but it is not.

It is used in many different forms, short prayers.

You can use a religious prayer, you could use a religious term, you could use a universal

or secular term.

And so we'll get into some of that as we go along, but I don't want you to feel like

it's something odd or mysterious or something, you know, way out there.

It's very commonly used in many, many different religions and it's just called different things.

So the actual use of a mantra is something short and we want it to stay short because

we want it to be able to just be repetitive and go around and around in your mind, in

your psyche.
