When you set your intentions, revisiting them is paramount to your success.<\/p>\n<p>Two simple ways to\u00a0succeed is to write out your mantras, hang up a list, and read them aloud each day in the morning and at night. Praying or chanting your mantras in the traditional way with your mala is a great way to be in harmony as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Select Your Words, Carefully<\/h3>\n<p>For this guide you will create 4 mantras, to begin you want to come up with 5 to 10 words to get the creative energy flowing, add more when you are ready.<\/p>\n<p>Think of positive words that have significant meaning for yourself and your goals then write these words down and be as creative as you like in arranging their order.\u00a0Be careful in all things you think and do, for what you think, you become. This is the motto for building your personal mantra.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Add Positive Affirmations<\/h3>\n<p>Once you have a list of words in a separate list jot down some affirmation starters such as &#8220;I am&#8230;&#8221; or &#8220;I will&#8230;&#8221; or &#8220;I feel&#8221; etc. Stay in the positive by using phrases like \u201cI am at peace\u201d instead of \u201cI want to be at peace\u201d. You must believe in and affirm your words when you say the mantra.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now take your list of words and mix them with your affirmation starters, these will become your personal mantras.<\/p>\n<h3>Closing Prayer of Thanks<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to your mantras, you want to create a closing prayer of thanks. Some examples are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cOm Shanti Shanti Shanti\u201d &#8211; the starting of Om followed by peace of mind, peace of body, and peace of speech.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cEvery day in every way I\u2019m getting better and better.\u201d &#8211; Laura Silva<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI change my thoughts, I change my world.\u201d &#8211; Norman Vincent Peal<\/li>\n<li>\u201cOm\u201d Sanskrit meaning \u201cIt Is\u201d or \u201cTo Become\u201d a most sacred mantra the vibration of the universal consciousness.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;and so it is!&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;For the highest good of all, the world, and the universe.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Next, you will put your mantras to work.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Use Mala Beads to Count Mantra<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Mala beads<\/span> are a great tool to keep track of how many mantras you will chant or repeat, one for each bead.\u00a0If your mala has 108 beads, simply repeat your 4 mantras one after the other consecutively with each bead until you reach the guru or end bead.\u00a0The goal is to reach 108 repetitions around the loop of beads. Once you&#8217;ve repeated your mantras and reach the guru bead say your closing prayer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you have a mala that has <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">3 marker beads<\/span> separating the 27 beads this will allow the practice to flow without having to keep track of the actual repetitions. Your mantras can be chanted 27 times each for a total of 108. When you reach the marker or guru, you know instinctively how many mantras you have said.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hold the mala in your hand.<\/li>\n<li>Move it bead by bead with the thumb and middle finger as you repeat your mantras.<\/li>\n<li>Take a moment to pause between recitations to be in a moment of silence.<\/li>\n<li>When you have circled the loop you may opt to start again.<\/li>\n<li>Tradition describes that we never cross over the guru bead, but instead turn the mala around and count in the opposite direction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re new to mala beads, check out <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">our guide<\/span> for everything you need to know about meditating with these sacred tools, including how to count mantra.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Living With Affirmation<\/h3>\n<p>Praying and chanting your mantra brings alignment with the vibration of the universe and its harmony. Repeating the words with emotion helps the manifesting process.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you&#8217;ve imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. ~ Henry David Thoreau<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When you wake up each morning, reaffirm your intention, read over your personal mantras. Remind yourself to embrace kindness and compassion while letting go of the ego, selfishness, negative thoughts, and confusion.\u00a0Living with the affirmation, you become the affirmation.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 10px 0\">\n<p>Keyword: <a href=\"https:\/\/thingsforlucky.com\/\">Mindfulness Gifts<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A personal mantra is a set of prayers or intentions you would like to manifest in the form of healing, gaining success, relieving anxiety, building confidence, growing compassion, and any personal goals you are actively working towards.
