| 0:00.0 | This is Episode 1053. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:07.0 | And welcome to an episode focused on using ancient wisdom for your modern life. |
| 0:15.0 | That's the theme of this week's series. We'll be exploring ancient wisdom techniques in each episode in this series. |
| 0:25.0 | These are techniques I've selected that you can easily incorporate into your modern life. |
| 0:32.0 | You'll also be dipping into a little ancient history as you learn a little bit about how each technique evolved and why it's done. |
| 0:44.0 | So this is a great series for you if you want to explore the rich wisdom of meditation. |
| 0:53.0 | I'm Mary Mechley and I share a different meditation technique every day here on the podcast. |
| 1:00.0 | And each technique is customized around a weekly theme you can explore in depth. |
| 1:06.0 | So you can really master these techniques and incorporate them into your life. |
| 1:12.0 | And in today's episode I'm excited to share with you a mantra, an ancient mantra. |
| 1:21.0 | And normally I share with you an affirmation. So I want to distinguish a little bit between what an affirmation is and what a mantra is. |
| 1:33.0 | An affirmation is a positive statement or word that helps you to focus your thoughts. |
| 1:41.0 | And it can also help to uplift your thoughts if you have a tendency towards negative thinking about some area of your life. |
| 1:51.0 | You could, for example, maybe you say on a regular basis to yourself unconsciously or consciously you repeat that there's not much going on in your life and it could be so much better. |
| 2:07.0 | Well, you could repeat an affirmation to switch around that negative thinking. |
| 2:13.0 | So you could create an affirmation such as I love my life exactly as it is and repeat it several times to kind of get yourself attuned to appreciating your life exactly as it is. |
| 2:29.0 | Well, a mantra is a little different. A mantra is a sacred sound or syllable or phrase that's been repeated through millennia. |
| 2:43.0 | Many of the world's religions have mantras such as Christianity has the mantra amen at the end of a prayer. |
| 2:54.0 | Well, I'll be sharing with you today a mantra that stems from Hinduism and I'm going to share this mantra with you because I know many listeners do yoga and other different arts where you may repeat this mantra. |
| 3:12.0 | And the whole idea of repeating a mantra or an affirmation is that you remember it when you need it most. |
| 3:19.0 | So I selected this mantra because you may already be familiar with it, but I thought I would let you know just how powerful this common mantra is. |
| 3:30.0 | So the mantra is Om Nama Shavaya. Om Nama Shavaya. And when you repeat this mantra, it is one of the most popular widely used mantras in Hinduism. |
