All you have to do is sit in meditation and sing along to the mantra or listen intrinsically with Yogic breathing. Play the mantra on repeat. Put an alarm on. Start with 5 minutes. Increasing to 10, 15 and 20 minutes.

The ‘Over-Thinkers’ Mantra Meditation – Om Mani Padme Hum
Stems from Tibetan Buddhism. There is no direct translation of this mantra. It is believed that this mantra resembles the words of a Buddha.

In a situation of emotional disturbance, lock yourself in your car or go outside and chant.

Aligns your ‘impure’ or clouded thoughts, actions and words to realign with those of a Buddha. Bringing harmony and balance in your life. Perfect for anxiety and ‘overly sensitive’ people. Allowing you to release the thoughts that are clouding your judgement and making you feel unstable.
