Grounding Mantras
/
Sound is powerful. Words are powerful.
Using a mantra is a simple, effective, fast way to shift your energy.
Here are three incredibly potent mantras to help you feel grounded.
Take a moment to sit or lie down comfortably. Breathe deeply for a few minutes, noticing how your body feels. Begin a mantra. You can repeat this mantra aloud or silently to yourself. Start with 1 minute and work your way to 5 or even 10 minutes of repetition.
I am.
Bring yourself into the present moment with the simple mantra, “I am.”
If you want to cultivate a specific energy, add a word to place focus on what you are becoming in this moment.
I am strong.
I am peaceful.
I am present.
Om
Om is a powerful vibration of life force energy. Chanting this sound brings immense peace to your entire system— body, mind and spirit— and helps clear any stuck energy.
I surrender.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or in pain, bringing in the mantra “I surrender” is a powerful way to shift your energy.
These three simple mantras can help you ground your energy, release fear, and become present.
