“Recite Mantra to Cleanse the Soul, Meditate to Cleanse the Mind, Bathe to Cleanse the body.
”
Mantra:
Man= Mind, Tra = Projection
Meditating with Mantra soothes all senses on a cellular level, the spiritual sound of mantra soothes the restless mind.
Ever felt like you want to try meditation, but each time you have it becomes more overwhelming or stressful than calming and peaceful for your mind? That’s because we have to accept all the thoughts running through our mind and not expect to be at shunia (zero) immediately, in fact that rarely happens.
Prioritize the BRAIN as much as you do the BODY, work IN as you would work OUT so that you can hear your intuition more than your fears and ego. Through Arezu’s meditation courses - learn to have trust in that inner voice within you, that deeper unspoken impulse aka your intuition. When you take responsibility over your reality, you can trust yourself. When you trust yourself, you allow your intuition to blossom. When you trust your intuition you begin to live in alignment with its guidance towards your dreams!
This class will help you go deeper into meditation, finding stillness, and connection to Self! By holding the space, guiding you through a meditation and teaching a mantra/chant that has its own benefit tailored to your intention and goals...you will begin to see Mantra and Meditation in a whole new light. If you want your own customized meditation prescription that is also available.
Meditation when paired with chanting has been scientifically proven to reduce anxiety and create emotional well-being, see below for 10 benefits:
Top 10 Meditation Benefits
1. REDUCE ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
Read More
“By combining sound, breath and rhythm, mantra meditation channels the flow of energy through the mind-body circuit, adjusting the chemical composition of our internal states and regulating brain-hemisphere imbalances, contributing to a natural abatement of fear and despair–emotions that underlie both of these common afflictions. By balancing the nervous system, chanting regulates the chronic stress and tension that is the norm for many people in today’s hyper-stimulated lifestyle. And by balancing the endocrine system, chanting normalizes hormone production, which balances our moods and overall sense of well-being.”
2. RELEASES NEUROSES
Read More
Chanting delivers us from the excessive preoccupation with our bodies and with material concerns. It delivers us from fear of old age and death. We begin to identify with the timelessness of the soul and consequently begin to shed neurotic habits that no longer serve and that no longer seem relevant. By returning us to what is essential, it clears away subconscious habit patterns.
3. SOOTHING

The material needs are reduced to nothing but mind chatter, and like smoke pumped into the sky, will be scattered into the expanse. Through the sweetness of devotional surrender, mantra turns the negative into positive.
4. COMPASSION
Read More
While the first stages of mantra meditation deliver our restless minds from their self-inflicted distress, eventually, chanting into the all-engulfing wave of vibrations arouses our experience of ourselves as spiritual beings...It awakens the divine light and love within us. As George Harrison has said of his lifelong Bhakti practice, chanting is “a direct connection with God.” When our spiritual identity is awakened, we experience the unity of all life, which consequently awakens our hearts and opens our capacity for compassion, whereupon we may live out our material lives free of animosity, envy and pride.
5. IMMUNITY

It’s all about the hypothalamus. The control tower of the brain, it regulates communication between the nervous system and the endocrine system, taking in information from the entire body, before transmitting outward again, via chemical messengers….Breath helps to adjust all the rhythms of our body–not only the familiar circadian rhythms, but the lesser known ultradian rhythms, which monitor the smaller-scale energy cycles that occur throughout the day. Because our nervous systems are often overtaxed, these rhythms are thrown out of balance. But through the technology of sound, we begin repairs.
6. EASY-TO-DO

You don’t have to sing well because it’s not about singing, in the usual sense. We’re not memorizing complex lyrics, layering harmonies, and we’re not certainly not busting out powerhouse solos. It works whether it’s done alone, or in a group, as in a powerful kirtan. It works whether it’s done softly or in full voice, as long it is from the heart and with the belly. Although for enhanced effect, we can add eye-focus and a gentle hand mudra, these are simple to include and can be incorporated gradually.
7. FREE

All you have to do is show up. As Krishna Das has said, ‘it won’t work if you don’t do it!’ All that is needed is some time and an open heart (we all have both). The benefits of chanting cannot be established through reasoning and intellect. It can only be experienced through devotion, faith and constant repetition of the Mantra.
8. INTUITIVE
Read More
Through repetition of the mantra, patterns of sound are inscribed onto the brain. The unconscious becomes the conscious, the automatic becomes the deliberate, the mindless becomes the heartfelt. The repetition frees us from our destination-fixation–from our need to rush to the end. The repetition is the whole point. Through repetition, the mantra washes over us, as the waves in the sea gradually get us wet. It dissolves us into unison, which is the essence of yoga. We “die” in a sense, as our ego fades into the infinite, as it gets unavoidably absorbed by the sound.
9. INNER & OUTER GLOW
Read More
Our thoughts reflect and affect our mood, our attitude and our general tenor. By vibrating a certain combination of sounds, we are able to tune into various levels of intelligence, or consciousness. Thus, chanting mantras is a conscious method of controlling our moods, and in turn, our frequency and resultant all-around radiance, much like changing the channel on the television.
10. EMPOWERING
Read More
There is a mantra for every need and desire. Whether the removal of obstacles, heart opening, healing, etc you feel empowered when the tools are in your hands and you take control of it via meditation and mantra.
