WHEN TO CHANT YOUR MALA MANTRA 1. SEATED MEDITATION

This is the standard way to practice japa meditation. Find a comfortable, seated position. You can sit cross-legged on the floor or in a chair. Make sure you are sitting tall so your spine is straight and long. Close your eyes and relax.

2. DURING YOGA

Pick a mantra toward the start of your yoga practice and keep on reciting it to yourself as you flow through the different poses. As you hold each of the asanas (postures) for your body chant your mantra in your mind. You can set a specific number of repetitions of the mantra for each pose if you'd like.

3. ON-THE-GO

You can chant your mantra just about anytime and anywhere ( in the car, at work, cooking or other chores, or on your own). During these times, you can chant the mantra or listen to a recording of your mantra. Allow the chanting or listening of your mantra to calm your mind and body and promote spiritual awakening.
