My Meditation log from 21 Days of Meditation.
Day 1- I commit to living perfect health
Our Sanskrit mantra:
Om Bhavam Namah

I am absolute existence. I am a field of all possibilities.
My thoughts: First 3 minutes of talking were torture. Could Chopra talk any slower? Spit it out! Focusing on the mantra was hard. I thought of a zillion other things like, I wonder if I have clean socks to wear tomorrow. I had to look at the time at 13:42. I ALMOST made it.
Day 2- Balance is my true nature
Our Sanskrit mantra:
Yum, Yum, Yum
Repeating “Yum” enlivens the heart chakra

Day 3- My mind and body are in perfect sync.

My life is in harmony with cosmic law.

My thoughts: I’m out of shape, maybe I should be at the gym and not sitting here
Day 14…I just gave up. I tried. I really did try to do these every day. I kept skipping days and having to catch up. I don’t think its effective to do 3-4 in a day and then not do them for a week.
I’m a meditation flunky. Did anyone else try this challenge? How did you do?
I have never enjoyed meditation for exactly the way you posted. Too much in my mind.
Hysterical!
Meditation is one of the great way to know self as it is very difficult to get the stage that makes your body to soul and viceversa. Astrology is also a great way to predict future analysis like getting astrology solve many problems even there are Mantra for remove black magic also.
