										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p>When people hear the word “mantra,” unless already familiar with its true meaning may equate it as being the same as an affirmation. There is a difference.. So what is a mantra precisely?</p>
<h3><strong>Discovering Mantras: What Is a Mantra?</strong></h3>
<p>In the simplest terms, it’s based on two root Sanskrit words: <em>manas</em> (mind) and<em> tra </em>(tool).  <strong>So the word “mantra” literally means “mind tool” or “a tool for the mind.”</strong>  You can use mantras – either spoken aloud, internally, or chanted repetitiously &#8211; to help focus your mind. This will enhance a deeper state of awareness, most traditionally during meditation and spiritual practices.</p>
<p>The reason “mantra” and “affirmation” tend to get confused is because you can use an affirmation AS your mantra during meditation. Or, you can simply use a single word or sound.</p>
<p><strong>Using mantras as a daily meditation practice, over time, can help your mind access deeper areas of your subconscious</strong>. When seeking to make changes in our lives, we most often experience blocks due to our subconscious thoughts and beliefs.</p>
<p><a href="https://buddhaweekly.com/science-mantras-mantras-work-without-faith-research-supports-effectiveness-sanskrit-mantra-healing-even-environmental-transformation/">Thomas Ashley-Farrand, author of Mantra Meditation</a><em>, </em>writes<em>,</em> “Mantra meditation is not only something one practices, but a radical re-envisioning of ourselves, our lives and our ability to create the future we desire.”</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6897 " src="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Mantra-image-e1552064467125.png" alt="Mantra-quote-image" width="501" height="527" /></p>
<p>Essentially, you can use mantras to start appreciating the joy of simplicity and experiencing more overall happiness.</p>
<h3><strong>How to Use a Mantra</strong></h3>
<p>Using mantras can <strong>assist in entering a deep state of meditation</strong> or <strong>to energize an intention. </strong>Repetition is key. When you find your mind wandering, bring it back to your chosen word or phrase and appreciate the simplicity of repetition.</p>
<p>There are various schools of thought about how many times you need to repeat your mantra before you notice changes in your life. Most traditionally, you would repeat your mantra 108 times daily for it to be most effective. This is because, “<span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.yogiapproved.com/om/3-sanskrit-mantras-boost-meditation-practice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in Vedic culture, the Mathematicians saw the number 108 as the wholeness of existence</a></span>.” In doing so, you are aligning yourself with the will of the universe and its creative life force.</p>
<p>Others believe that reciting multiple times for 40 days in a row invokes change. This idea is based around examples of Buddha and Jesus Christ. Based on this belief, it took 40 days of daily meditation for life changes to occur.  (In using this 40-day meditation ritual, if a day is missed, you must begin again at day 1. Otherwise, it would not be as effective, according to those who practice it.)</p>
<p>But reciting your mantra can really be used at any time throughout your day to reap benefits. The more you repeat it, the better aligned with it you will become. In this way, <strong>you can always use this as a tool for stilling your mind.</strong></p>
<h4><strong>Mantras for Meditation</strong></h4>
<p>During meditation, you would repeat your mantra silently or out loud for the time you are meditating.  Meditating daily in this way is most helpful. The goal of this practice is to rise above the everyday activity of your mind.</p>
<p>The type of mantra that works best in this capacity is one where you are <strong>not</strong> focused on any specific idea or outcome. So affirmation mantras, while helpful in other ways, wouldn’t tend to work as well in this setting as a tool for focusing the mind during meditation.</p>
<p>Because this type of mantra has no meaning to your conscious mind, you are able to simply focus on the word or phrase. The thought or sound vibrations assist you in accessing a heightened state of awareness.</p>
<h4><strong>Mantras to Energize an Intention</strong></h4>
<p>Alternatively, you could choose an affirmation as a mantra to repeat (silently or out loud) for specific periods of time throughout your day. Using a mantra in this way will help to energize your intention with heightened awareness.</p>
<p>During the course of the day, when you feel stressed or out of balance, you would repeat your chosen word or phrase to calm your mind and bring you back into focus.</p>

<h3><strong>How to Choose a Mantra</strong></h3>
<p>Choosing a mantra will depend on how you intend to use it – whether for meditation or to energize an intention. There is no single way to choose one. But you DO want to choose one that has positive connotations rather than one that you associate with any negativity.</p>
<p><strong>For meditation purposes, to assist in attaining a deeper meditative state, choose a single word or phrase. </strong> Traditionally, Sanskrit words are used for this purpose.  For example, using the word “Om” is said to be the sound of the universe or the primordial sacred sound. Another example is “Om Mani Padme Hum,” which is said to “<a href="https://www.yogapedia.com/2/8623/meditation/mantra/the-meaning-of-om-mani-padme-hum" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color: #3366ff;">unlock the loving and unconditional qualities of compassion</span></a>.”</p>
<p><strong>To use a mantra for energizing an intention, focus on what you want to achieve.</strong> Then choose a word or phrase that aligns with your intention. Keep in mind that it should always represent your greatest good without attachment to a specific outcome. Some examples of affirmation mantras are: “Love surrounds me;” “I attract abundance in my life;” or “I am at peace with myself and the universe.”</p>
<p>However you choose to harness the benefits, there is no down side. Try various words of phrases (and methods) until you feel energized by it.  <strong>When you feel attuned to using a particular mantra, you will begin to enjoy the benefits of this <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/what-is-your-one-word/">empowering daily practice</a></span>.</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p>Reaching that place where your dreams soar takes dedication.</p>
<p>To reach your dreams you need commitment, discipline, and lots of focus on positive thoughts.</p>
<p>The great news is that your vision for your life can happen for you much more quickly, if you replace a few worn-out, self-defeating expressions.</p>
<p>Use these 3 life-altering mottos that are centered around greater abundance, skillful creativity, and fearless self-empowerment to master your manifesting.</p>
<h2>Master your Manifesting: Add These 3 Phrases to Your Life</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MlDnhQl1VEQ" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><strong>Replace ‘I don’t know’ with ‘I am learning.’ <span style="color: #999999;">| Master Your Manifesting</span></strong></h3>
<p>By conveying to those around you that you are willing to work on yourself in order to develop your skills into talents, you garner respect from people who are doing the same. Since <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2I_ZWMZywo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">like attracts like</a>, vocalizing your willingness to improve yourself attracts more positive outcomes into your life.</p>
<p>Announcing you are learning and seeking self-growth will ensure that you are surrounded by fellow seekers who are on the same path to greater knowledge. This creates an environment that helps you develop faster and moves you towards you goals.</p>
<h3><strong>Replace ‘I am too broke’ with ‘I am creating the resources for this.’ <span style="color: #999999;">| Master Your Manifesting</span></strong></h3>
<p>Using this uplifting language guides the ‘executive center’ of your brain to communicate a steady stream of positive messages to your subconscious mind about your financial abilities. It also sends a strong signal to those around you that it’s no longer business as usual.</p>
<p>This powerful new phrase allows you to start to take control over your resources through a <strong><em>switch in perception</em></strong>. It does this by helping you become more confident and less reactive about your financial picture. This in turn catches the attention of those around you who have an abundance of resources that they are eager to spend on people like you who are serious about working towards creating even greater prosperity for everyone.</p>

<h3><strong>Replace ‘I am too scared’ with ‘I am so courageous.’ <span style="color: #999999;">| Master Your Manifesting</span></strong></h3>
<p>People who decide to build a life that aligns them with their dreams all come up against the same issue: they have no idea what they are doing. Until they do. The space in between stepping off the ledge and landing right where you want to be, holds a lot of unknown variables. This makes it somewhat terrifying. And often quite humbling. Facing that terror head on and humbling yourself is known as <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/quotes-on-courage/"><em>courage</em></a></span>.</p>
<p>By acknowledging the vast strength and tremendous effort that it takes to make the leap of faith straight into your dreams, you are practicing the kind of self-love that allows you to become a warrior for positive change in your own life.</p>
<p>Mindfulness meditation has been shown to help positively <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26048176" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regulate</a> activity in the center of the brain that is <a href="https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/life-sciences/brave-brains-neural-mechanisms-courage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highly active</a> during episodes of courage. This beautiful 12-track album will take you through a series of reflections on abundance, relaxation, love, freedom, and much more to help you set yourself up for optimal courage, greater wealth, and amazing inner growth.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p>Little habits can make a big difference. It&#8217;s within your power to design a more positive day for yourself before you even head out the door in the morning. A significant time commitment or elaborate routine isn&#8217;t necessary to feel noticeably happier, either.</p>
<p>The following exercises can be incorporated into your daily routine as you see fit to generate a more positive flow in your daily life.</p>
<h2>5 Little Habits That Will Make a Big Difference In The Quality of Your Life</h2>
<h3><span style="color: #00aeef;">1</span>. Say &#8220;Thank You&#8221;</h3>
<p>Having a regular gratitude practice has many proven health benefits like improved relationships, greater mental and physical health, and higher self-esteem.</p>
<p>So whenever you notice something that you appreciate having in your life, say a silent – or maybe even a not silent when appropriate – “<span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/say-thank-you-motivational-speech-featuring-denzel-washington/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thank you.</a></span>” Be it a kind conversation with a stranger, a delicious meal, a dependable car, a helpful co-worker, whatever it is for you – say thank you.</p>
<p>Habits as simple as briefly meditating, journaling, moving your body, listening to uplifting music, and saying “thank you” have the power to transform your day and your life.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5506" src="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FSQ111.jpg" alt="If you want to find happiness, find gratitude." width="500" height="500" srcset="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FSQ111.jpg 624w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FSQ111-150x150.jpg 150w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FSQ111-300x300.jpg 300w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FSQ111-125x125.jpg 125w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FSQ111-24x24.jpg 24w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FSQ111-48x48.jpg 48w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FSQ111-96x96.jpg 96w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<h3><span style="color: #00aeef;">2</span>. Keep a Daily Journal</h3>
<p>Like meditation, you don&#8217;t need to log multiple journal pages a day to be “productive.” However, getting your unedited thoughts out on the page routinely even for just a few minutes – or one-page worth – is still highly beneficial.</p>
<p>Journaling clears your mind for the day, puts your brain in creative mode, helps you identify goals for the day, help you accomplish them, and an added plus, it&#8217;s relaxing.</p>
<p>One way to assure you&#8217;ll write each day is to keep a journal by your bed so you can do it first thing in the morning when you wake up or just before you go to sleep at night.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #00aeef;">3</span>. Exercise Your Body</h3>
<p>In addition to all the physical benefits of daily exercise, moving your body has many mental and emotional benefits as well. Improved self-esteem, more energy, increased brain power, reduced stress, and better sleep are just some of the psychological benefits of having a regular exercise routine.</p>
<p>If you have access to a gym and use it, great. If not, don&#8217;t worry. Just 10 to 30 minutes of walking, yoga, dancing, or strengthening with light weights will provide all of the same benefits of working out at a gym.</p>

<h3><span style="color: #00aeef;">4</span>. Listen to Uplifting Music or Speeches</h3>
<p>The quality of what you consume undoubtedly affects your energy level and mood. Media full of negativity can adversely affect your mood and health, but higher vibration media can energize and heal you.</p>
<p>Try beginning your day by fasting from social media and television. Instead, put on some feel-good music to accompany your morning routine or commute. If you don&#8217;t have music you love already, search online for “<span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0nOQ1R3Z-vRO7K6g-W7Jkg/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">positive music</a></span>” or &#8220;<span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0nOQ1R3Z-vRO7K6g-W7Jkg/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">motivational videos</a></span>&#8221;</p>
<p>With inspiring music in the background, you&#8217;ll discover your daily tasks are so much more enjoyable.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #00aeef;">5</span>. Practice Morning Meditation</h3>
<p>A meditation practice doesn&#8217;t need to be 30 minutes long to be beneficial. Even five minutes of sitting quietly with your eyes closed while concentrating on your breath, a prayer, or a mantra can reduce stress and anxiety, decrease blood sugar, improve brain health, and increase positive feelings.</p>
<p>And the great news is that <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTuqv2fYbGc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">your meditation</a></span> is just as effective whether you&#8217;re sitting on a cushion, in a chair, or on your couch. Create a comfortable, sacred space where you can commit to a consistent practice for the most benefit.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p>In today&#8217;s busy world, it seems to be getting harder, rather than easier to find time to meditate. Harder still to consistently practice and master the true <a href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/life-changing-benefits-of-meditation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #3366ff;">benefits meditation can bring to your life.</span></a></p>
<p>But like any other exercise or skill, there are simple tricks for making your journey to master meditation bliss more achievable and fun.</p>
<h2>6 Ways To Master Meditation In Today&#8217;s Busy World</h2>
<h3><span style="color: #00aeef;">1</span>. Begin With Brief Meditations <span style="color: #999999;">| Master Meditation</span></h3>
<p>For beginners, remaining seated with eyes closed for longer than 10 minutes can feel impossible, even unpleasant. Because mental concentration hasn&#8217;t been developed yet, staying seated when every sense in your body is telling you to get up is counterproductive. Meditation that you don&#8217;t enjoy only reinforces an association of meditation with negative experiences and will be discouraging.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re brand new, begin with only 5 to 10 minutes at a time. That way when you&#8217;re ready to sit for longer, it will be because you&#8217;re experiencing the benefits and you <em>want</em> to extend the time.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #00aeef;">2</span>. Listen to Meditation Tracks or Music <span style="color: #999999;">| Master Meditation</span></h3>
<p>There are many meditation tracks and relaxing music you can play in your earbuds that specifically are designed to bring the brain into a meditative state. These tracks can be extremely helpful when you&#8217;re new or if your mental state isn&#8217;t the calmest on a particular day. You can always stop using them when you don&#8217;t feel it&#8217;s necessary anymore.</p>
<p><em>Try these amazing guided meditations for abundance health &amp; wealth</em><br />
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2s5DmT6sinU" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></p>
<h3><span style="color: #00aeef;">3</span>. Concentrate on a Phrase or Mantra <span style="color: #999999;">| Master Meditation</span></h3>
<p>Traditional practices teach meditators to use an anchor phrase, called a mantra, as the point of focus. For the active mind, they work as a home base to return to when the mind wanders. A mantra is indispensable for newcomers – or anyone – with a busy mind.</p>
<p>The mantra can be an ancient word or phrase like, “OM,” or, “SO HUM,” which means <em>I am that</em>. Or it can be an affirmation that&#8217;s meaningful to you like, “Peace,” or, “I am love.”</p>
<h3><span style="color: #00aeef;">4</span>. Meditate With a Group <span style="color: #999999;">| Master Meditation</span></h3>
<p>Perhaps nothing is more motivating that meditating in a group. Alone you might not hesitate to get up and go to the bathroom or check your phone. However, in a group you&#8217;re more likely to refrain, not wanting to disturb others in their practice.</p>
<p>Additionally, meditating in a group setting with positive intention can be very powerful energetically. Many report that they feel the bliss of the group energy during meditation, making it a pleasant experience and motivating them to return to it regularly.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #00aeef;">5</span>. Choose Your Time Wisely <span style="color: #999999;">| Master Meditation</span></h3>
<p>Spiritual practitioners since ancient times have known that there are particular times of the day ideal for meditation and prayer. Many spiritual traditions still do their contemplative practice during this time.</p>
<p>The hours right before, during, and shortly after sunrise are considered to be the most “sattvic,” meaning that it&#8217;s the purest time of the day. During this time the mind and body are the most balanced, not too tired nor energetic, and most efficient for a positive meditation experience.</p>
<p><em>Try this guided meditation for relaxation:</em><br />
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U-ONoeJnirE" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><span style="color: #00aeef;">6</span>. Try Again Tomorrow <span style="color: #999999;">| Master Meditation</span></h3>
<p>And if you weren&#8217;t successful today, you can always try again tomorrow.</p>
<p>Like any other routine practice such as exercise, learning a new language, or perfecting a craft, the art of concentration must be developed over time with consistency. Training the mind to remain focused and, ultimately, sit blissfully in silence isn&#8217;t something that comes naturally. Like preparing the body for a marathon, what seems challenging today will come easier tomorrow.</p>
<p>And when your journey becomes more enjoyable by using any of these methods, you will be more motivated, and on your way to <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTuqv2fYbGc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mastering meditation</a></span>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p>There’s lots of scientific <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/meditation/in-depth/meditation/art-20045858" target="_blank" rel="noopener">evidence</a> showing that everyday tools and techniques which are available to just about everyone can help to silence your stress, and in the process increase your levels of happiness, boost your physical health, and create a more peaceful, contented mindset.</p>
<h2><strong>Journal It Out | Silence Your Stress</strong></h2>
<p>Writing out feelings has been a part of  human culture for centuries. It’s now becoming clear why journaling is such a powerful way to release feelings of worry, stress, and anxiety. Journaling makes letting go of pent up emotions much <a href="https://psychcentral.com/lib/the-health-benefits-of-journaling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">easier</a> because it triggers both sides of the brain to work together. Connecting the brains hemispheres streamlines your thoughts. This increased organization of ideas allows for better self-understanding. Self understanding is a great catalyst for finding creative solutions to your problems.</p>

<h2><strong>Laugh Out Loud | Silence Your Stress</strong></h2>
<p>If you want to give your stress a double-dose of medicine, try hanging out with your funniest friend. A good guffaw not only <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-athletes-way/201301/cortisol-why-the-stress-hormone-is-public-enemy-no-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lowers</a> the hormones that trigger stress, but it also <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-laughter-may-be-the-best-pain-medicine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">releases</a> endorphins in the body that help you to feel good about life again.</p>
<h2><strong>Practice Mindful Eating | Silence Your Stress</strong></h2>
<p>You may have already heard that certain foods help reduce stress levels, but did you know that <em>how</em> <em>you eat</em> can also also have a real <a href="https://www.takingcharge.csh.umn.edu/mindfulness-helps-us-digest-and-enjoy-our-food" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impact</a> on your body’s internal signals? Simply finding a relaxing environment free from noisy distractions like TV or loud talking can aid with balancing hormones and digestion, which helps reduce the <a href="https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/03/07/inflammation-triggers-disease-symptoms.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflammation</a> that is responsible for a whole host of unhealthy conditions.</p>
<h2><strong>Play Your Favorite Music | Silence Your Stress</strong></h2>
<p>One of the best ways to keep your stress levels down during mealtimes is to play some soothing tunes. Rhythmic beats have been shown to positively <a href="https://news.stanford.edu/pr/2006/pr-brainwave-053106.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">influence</a> brainwave patterns by reducing anxiety and increasing focus. Songs played at <a href="https://www.unr.edu/counseling/virtual-relaxation-room/releasing-stress-through-the-power-of-music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">60 beats per minute</a> help you relax the fastest because they copy your mind’s calm and conscious alpha waves. Mindlab International even did a study that found <a href="https://www.inc.com/melanie-curtin/neuroscience-says-listening-to-this-one-song-reduces-anxiety-by-up-to-65-percent.html">10 songs which helped people de-stress</a> the fastest.</p>

<h2><strong>Engage with Gratitude | Silence Your Stress</strong></h2>
<p><em>“Say thank you in advance for what’s already yours.” </em>– Denzel Washington</p>
<p>An attitude of gratitude has been shown to lower stress hormones <a href="https://www.today.com/health/be-thankful-science-says-gratitude-good-your-health-t58256" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by 23%</a>! This means that a simple heartfelt ‘thank you’ is a quick way to turn your overwhelm into joy. Setting yourself down a path towards greater peace and prosperity.</p>
<h2>Meditate for 5 Minutes | Silence Your Stress</h2>
<p>Much like journaling, <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/life-changing-benefits-of-meditation/">meditation</a></span> help you to focus your thoughts and better <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/05/15/the-effects-of-meditation-on-the-brain/#56e4d65e2ddb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">control</a> your emotional reactions.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meditation, has been one of the most talked about self-improvement subjects for the past decade. But why is it that most people never try to meditate? And if they do they give up quickly thinking it&#8217;s not working?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Personally I struggled with meditation for over six months until I finally caught the hang of it. I only kept going because I knew that if I quit I would never figure it out. Having been told about the countless <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/life-changing-benefits-of-meditation/">benefits of meditation</a></span> I wanted to give myself the best chance to succeed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I tried several apps, guided, unguided, and other forms of meditation. Like most people, looking for that miracle awakening moment. Then, one day it hit me after watching this <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Watts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alan Watts</a> video.</span></p>
<h2><strong>The Problem With Meditation</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most people quit meditation before they can see the benefits because they make meditation a task. Instead of making it a doing task on your to-do list you should think of it as an experience. No, you don’t have to do it for 30 minutes or an hour each day to see the benefits. Instead, use this trick.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Close your eyes and instead of trying to meditate become aware of what is going on around you. Let your ears experience what they are hearing without placing much emphasis on identifying the sounds. Over time you will learn to just hear the sounds as noises happen naturally.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next up is your breathing. While you were observing the sounds did you ever focus on your breath? I’m guessing not, as you don’t need too. Your subconscious makes breathing or pumping blood to the heart things you don’t need to consciously be aware of. It’s not up to you to make sure you breathe.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then, start to take some deep and shallow breaths. Alternate to see how it feels and become aware of your breath. This is all leading up to understanding your thoughts. Most people think meditation is all about eliminating your thoughts which is basically impossible.</span></p>
<h2><strong>The Alan Watts Meditation Trick</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instead of trying to control your thoughts, notice them. Observe them. Are they happy, positive thoughts? Or are they negative, depressing thoughts? One or the other isn’t bad it’s important to just observe them. Think of yourself sitting on a mountain by the highway and your thoughts being cars that go by. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The main thing I learned from the Alan Watts meditation trick is that meditation is an experience, not a task. <strong>It’s about spending time alone with your thoughts without any judgment.</strong> This quick Alan Watts meditation trick should help you understand more of what is going on inside you.\</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jPpUNAFHgxM" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If done over time on a consistent basis you can learn to be less judgemental of yourself and others. You don’t want to get too attached to anyone thought, especially negative ones. Your increased awareness can help you tons throughout the rest of your day. The next time you have a big meeting at work or date with someone special you can observe your thoughts.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p>All our lives we’ve been taught how to eat healthy, exercise, and other tricks for our body &#8212; but barely any tips for our mind. <span style="color: #333333;"><a style="color: #333333;" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditation">Meditation</a></span> is one of the most useful and helpful habits that you can practice to see tremendous benefits. There is no one specific way to meditate but instead finding out what works best for your life and goals.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/5-famous-people-who-use-meditation-to-manifest-their-dreams/">Meditation is one of the most common habits</a> that successful people share. Now it’s even being backed by extensive studies at Harvard. Meditation will help reduce stress, learn to think with more clarity and increase your ability to be empathetic and compassionate. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> If you can learn how to <a href="https://www.sleepadvisor.org/sleep-mantras/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color: #3366ff;">control your mind</span></a> you have the ability to create inner peace. It’s hard to create a beautiful life on the outside when your life is chaos inside. A daily mindful practice will help your beautiful inner world manifest into the physical, outer world. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like any new habit, it can be hard to stick with it. Add meditation as part of your daily morning routine so you never miss a day as there are some many benefits of meditation. </span></p>
<h1><strong>4 Amazing Benefits of Meditation </strong></h1>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Decreases Depression and Anxiety </span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Studies have shown that a mindfulness program has lowered depression and anxiety in participants. Individuals in the studies have also shown that meditation can help future depression-like symptoms and act as an antidepressant to drug therapy.</span></p>

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Decreases Stress </span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meditation brings the brainwave pattern into an Alpha state that promotes healing. The mind becomes fresh, delicate and beautiful.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you meditate regularly, your problems seem to become smaller. The more you can control your mind the more you will be able to figure out problems faster. Done over time, you will have much less stress in your life.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Increases Clarity and Creativity </span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s busy world it’s easy to be reactive to all the stimuli around us. Phones, texts, emails, social media make it very noisy and hard to find time to get clear on your purpose. It’s also hard to be creative when you are staring at a screen all day. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meditating will help you slow down, focus on what you want, and gain clarity. Once you know what you are trying to achieve, in any area of life, meditation can also help your creativity.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many of the most successful, and often spiritual people, meditate to tap into their superconscious. Intuition is said to be your inner voice or your subconscious mind guiding you to do something. By meditating regularly you can tap into that brilliant intuition more frequently.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3609" src="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/27337367_1051987381611123_3832464607943990471_n.jpg" alt="4 Life Changing Benefits of Meditation to Reshape Your Mind" width="500" height="500" srcset="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/27337367_1051987381611123_3832464607943990471_n.jpg 624w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/27337367_1051987381611123_3832464607943990471_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/27337367_1051987381611123_3832464607943990471_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/27337367_1051987381611123_3832464607943990471_n-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sharpens Your Focus </span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meditation will also help you stay focused and not become distracted. While a morning meditation can help start the day, you can also take a mid-afternoon break at work. If you find yourself stressed after a long day at work even 5-10 minutes of meditating can help. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you begin to understand and know your mind you can start to improve your life. You can learn how to use all the benefits meditation to become your true self. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You will realize that so many thoughts that enter your mind are pointless “mind drama” that serves no real purpose in your life. Start a mindful practice today to take advantage of all the benefits of meditation.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Buddhist monks practice some of the most powerful habits that anyone can greatly benefit from. Two recent examples of monks sharing wisdom with the world are <a href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/dandapani-quotes-change-your-life/">Dandapani</a> and <a href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/5-jay-shetty-quotes-grateful/">Jay Shetty</a>. They are both former monks who have transformed into entrepreneurs to share their knowledge and experiences with the world. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Buddhist monks might be misunderstood by much of the world, their habits can greatly impact your life. Learn these five Buddhist monk habits to create positive, lasting changes in your life. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Harness the Power of Meditation</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Monks are most well known for is their frequent practice of meditation. Each monastery is different but some practice meditation for hours a day. Most monks practice around two hours per day, at morning and night. Meditation is a type of diligent practice that has the ability to rewire your brain and find clarity in your life. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What would your life look like if you meditated or added some quiet, reflection time each morning for 10-15 minutes? While there are many benefits of meditation, both for your body and mind, one of the biggest advantages is increasing your ability to acknowledge your thoughts. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you listen mindfully to your thoughts you can begin to see which ones are positive and which ones are negative. A simple, daily meditation practice each morning can help increase your discipline and mood throughout the day. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seek Out Wisdom</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Buddhist monks view elderly people as the most important people to learn from. They often seek elders to become spiritual guides on their journey to seek inner peace. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">You should do the same in your life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Choose to seek out mentors and people who are already doing what you want to do in life. Learn from the people who have experienced more of life than yourself. Most people are flattered by the gesture and are more than happy to share any wisdom and life lessons &#8212; but you must first ask.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3500" src="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/artpic1-4.jpg" alt="Life itself is a journey after all, and what matters most is not what you are getting, but who you are becoming. 5 Buddhist Monk Habits For Ultimate Clarity" width="500" height="500" srcset="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/artpic1-4.jpg 624w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/artpic1-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/artpic1-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https://iamfearlesssoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/artpic1-4-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Declutter Every Part of Your Life</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Monks live a very minimal life with only a few sets of robes and the bare neccesities to live. Yet they thrive more than most people. They understand that materialism is unnecessary and takes away your energy. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn to declutter your life by changing your environment. Clean your desk, your house, your closet and anything else that takes up mental space.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The same goes for relationships. Spend time with people who make you feel alive. Show compassion, show empathy, and be someone who uplifts others. The people who are the happiest are often the ones spending their time helping others.   </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn to Become Present in the Moment </span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Monks are often happier with less “things” because they know how to enjoy life and be present in the moment. They focus on all they <em>have</em> instead of all they want.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can do the same by putting down your phone, engaging in meaningful conversations and connecting more with others. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Choose to be present in this very moment. You can’t change the past and worrying about the future only takes away from today. Enjoy each day and soak up all the beauty, no matter what the situation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These Buddhist monk habits are simple but not easy. They go against many of today’s expectations but if practiced, can change your life greatly. Remember, you need to practice these habits regularly to see the benefits.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the beginning, it might feel uncomfortable but that&#8217;s part of the process. Keep going and you see will more personal benefits than you could ever imagine. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meditation might be the single most helpful practice in today’s busy world. There are many famous people who use mediation to manifest their dreams. Some of the most wealthy and successful people in the world have been tapping into the benefits of meditation for decades. The best part is that mediation is adaptable to your unique situation. It also compounds over time which is one of the reasons why these people have become so successful. </span></p>
<h3><strong>Five famous people who meditate on a regular basis:</strong></h3>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #00aeef;">1</span>. Oprah</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/oprah-winfrey-quotes/"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Oprah</span></a> has dedicated an entire room of her house for her spirituality. It’s filled with candles, soothing tones, and pictures of what she is grateful for. Whether it’s one minute or twenty minutes she makes meditation a daily practice each morning. She typically lights a candle, reads an affirmation or positive words and gives herself to something greater in the Universe. As Oprah said, “I want to express to the greater energy field that I don’t want to be alone as I move out into the world.”  </span></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #00aeef;">2</span>. Lisa Nichols </strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lisa Nichols has overcome amazing odds to create an unbelievably successful life. She attributes so much of her success to a daily meditation practice. Lisa has said that meditation is how she can get out of her own head and gain clarity. Meditation helped her learn to trust herself, take chances, think positively, and learn to trust her intuition.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oNanJKtU5LE" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #00aeef;">3</span>. Ellen Degeneres  </strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ellen Degeneres has been meditating for over six years practicing Transcendental Meditation. After struggling with other forms for years she now loves her daily, 20-minute meditation practice. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As she describes meditation, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It feels good. Kinda like when you have to shut your computer down, just sometimes when it goes crazy, you just shut it down and when you turn it on, it’s okay again. That’s what meditation is to me.” – </span></i><b><i>Ellen DeGeneres</i></b></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #00aeef;">4</span>. Wayne Dyer </strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Wayne Dyer was also a huge proponent of meditation as he said it was the main way to manifest your dreams into reality. He said, “Embrace silence in meditation as it is the only way to know your source.” Most of us fear silence but learn to embrace it so you can gain clarity on what your intuition is telling you.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dOkNkcZ_THA" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #00aeef;">5</span>. Tony Robbins </strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The best selling author and performance coach has created his own version of meditation in what he calls “priming.” The best part is that it only takes minutes to complete. As Tony Robbins said, “If you don’t have ten minutes you don’t have a life.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s a breakdown of what he does during his priming exercise as part of his morning routine:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Gratitude Practice (3 minutes)</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Fear and anger are the two emotions that ruin most people’s lives. But when you are being grateful you can’t be fearful or angry, it’s impossible. He spends three minutes thinking of three things he is grateful for in his life. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Connects with the Universe (3 minutes)</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Tony imagines a light flowing through his body to energize and heal him. He then sends positive thoughts to friends, family, colleagues, and strangers. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Visualizes Success (3 minutes):</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> For the last part of his priming routine, he imagines three of goals as if they were already completed. </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take one lesson from each of these famous people who use <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://iamfearlesssoul.com/guided-meditation-for-finding-your-purpose/">meditation</a></span> to manifest their dreams. They use meditation to gain clarity, increase positive self-talk, and connect with your inner self. </span></p>
