Mahakatha's Meditation Mantras

Do you generally feel bad about

drawing a line or keeping boundaries when it comes

to your mental health? For example, when someone is

speaking negatively about something and their negativity

comes from their own pain, but it

starts affecting you as well? In such a

scenario, do you find it incredibly hard to walk away

from that conversation or to openly

express that it is hurting you as well? If the answer

is yes, then you are not alone. And

we're gonna talk about this a little in today's episode before

you learn about another beautiful mantra.

So Namaste and welcome to today's episode of the Mahakatha

meditation mantras podcast. I'm your host,

Preeti. And today, we're talking about those tricky situations

where we don't really know how we can help without

harming ourselves and harming our own peace of mind.

If you consider yourself an empath like me, Then

this is definitely something you are struggling with or you have

struggled with in the past, and it can be quite a difficult one to get

around. And I wondered about this until I came across

a line somewhere that said, "You don't always

have to help by doing. Sometimes,

you can also help simply by

being." And that made me think. When

we think of helping, we always think in terms of

doing something. Right? Offering something, supporting

something, forgiving something, caring for something. We

always think of helping

in terms of action. However,

maybe there is a way of helping

which does not involve any action

or any exchange of words even. Maybe

you can just help sometimes by

being, by showing up, by being a

stranger who smiles, by being someone

who appears calm and clear and

kind in an atmosphere where everybody

else is only spouting negativity and frustration

towards one another. You can help by just

being there for some distant

old friend who thought nobody

would show up for him or her. You can help

just by being the best, most

calm version of yourself in any situation

of panic. Think about the people you love the

most, the people who've shaped your life or even your

soulmate if you have recognized one in your life already.

Think about those people

and how and how they really have helped you

so far. There may be a handful of

instances where they did something amazing for you or they

said something that changed your perspective and turned your

life around. But on majority of the days,

all they did was show up for

you, be with you despite not having all

the answers or the solutions. They did

not always know exactly what you were going through.

They did not always actively solve the

problem that you were facing. Sometimes, all

they did was sit next to you and hold

you and hear you out.

Sometimes, you can help simply by

being. And I think this is the kind

of help we should offer in those

tricky situations where we find that doing

something for this person will actually

harm me, or compromise on my

peace of mind. In such situations,

you can perhaps help by being

yourself, by

being relaxed, by being an example of

calmness and composure, by being an

example of kindness, by being

an example of non-judgment,

without talking yourself down,

without ruining your peace of mind,

without compromising on your values.

You can still help someone by being

your true self. Some might

find it not very helpful. Some might think of you

as less for not participating in their problem and

their problem-solving, but those who

are ready to be grateful, those who

are ready to look for solutions everywhere,

look for answers everywhere. Those who are ready to see

the blessing in everything will see

the blessing in having you around,

in having you present in this phase in

their lives. They will see it

and acknowledge it when they're ready.

Meanwhile, it is your job to continue working on

yourself, to continue becoming a better and better

version of yourself so that you can

be a bigger source of light and

inspiration for people you might not even

know that look up to you. And

this task of yours to continuously keep working

on yourself can be as simple

as spending 5 to 10 minutes in meditation, whether

it means you are sitting in one place

and closing your eyes and meditating, or whether it

is a meditative walk through your garden

where your only focus is the pleasant

colors and smells that are all around you,

where you walk in appreciation. No matter how

you choose to meditate, doing a little bit of

it every day is going to help you

become that radiant human

being whose presence itself is

auspicious. And if that sounds like something you

want to work on, then I have

the perfect mantra to guide you on this

daily journey. The mantra I'm

talking about is the ancient

Buddhist Shaakya Muni mantra. This

divine chant will give you a feeling of

moving further and further on the path of

self-discovery and enlightenment. Listening

to this mantra has been described as a

transformative experience by many of our listeners.

And this is the same experience I would like you to have.

And so if you would like to avail this mantra and try it

out this week, you can have this mantra at a 30%

discount by using the code mentioned in the

description. So go ahead and see for yourself what it feels like.

And if you need some more inspiration, here are

2 of the most beautiful comments from our listeners

who have used this mantra. The first

one says, "Thank you very much.

Beautiful." "It's doing something to my soul." This

says so much in such few words. Thank you, dear

listener, for leaving us this beautiful comment. Another

one says, "Thank you. Life is full of stress. This

mantra made my mind peaceful." Again,

thank you, dear listener. This is exactly our

intent through this mantra and all the other mantras that

we put out on Mahakatha. It warms

my heart to know that something that me

and my team work on with so much love

and intention is really reaching out to all you

listeners. So now I really hope that you will try out the

Shakyamuni mantra and that you also found

a valuable takeaway from what we discussed

today. That's it for this episode. I'll be

back next week with a brand new episode and mantra.

Until then, keep helping yourself. Keep

helping others and stay blessed.
