Part of a new series of practices kindly offered by mindfulness teacher Sister Dang Nghiem, this audio offers guidance on the practice of wielding a mantra.
"A mantra is a sacred utterance believed to have religious, magical, or spiritual powers in Eastern religions. [...] They can have a profound positive effect on your body and mind as soon as you pronounce them. As you practice these mantras diligently, they replace your habitual negative thoughts and feelings."
The content of this audio draws on Sister Dang Nghiem's latest book, Flowers in the Dark (2021), a deeply thoughtful guide to healing trauma with mindfulness practice. By bringing together her lived experience as a survivor, a certified MD, and an ordained Buddhist teacher, she offers a body-based, practical approach to healing from the most difficult and painful life experiences.
