My mind keeps thinking-”What am I going to wear tomorrow?” “What I’m going to have for dinner?” “Does my boyfriend like me?” Does this mean the mantra isn’t working? Aren’t I supposed to have an empty mind? No, Yogi Bhajan compared meditating to emptying the trash…all thoughts, desires, etc.Can’t I just use any word or affirmation? No, mantras are not affirmations and just any word will not have the effects of mantra on body, mind and spirit.It means Infinity, Life, Death (or transformation), Rebirth.

Mantras are formulas that use the energy of sound to balance the brain, mind, chakras (energy centers that correlate with various parts of the body), and psyche (or soul mind). The words that we tune in with in Kundalini Yoga classes are “Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo.” and the English translation is “Salutations or Greetings to the Divine within and without.” Since we used a lot of mantras in Kundalini Yoga, I also wanted to give you a little explanation about mantra.
