Om Meditation For Anxiety Relief

Om Meditation for Anxiety Relief. This is a simple mantra meditation where we will repeat the sound Om. We will begin by chanting the mantra out loud and end by chanting it silently. Chanting out loud stimulates the vagus nerve, strengthens vagal tone (higher vagal tone helps us to more readily transition from a stress state to a rest state), and promotes a return to a restful state (parasympathetic nervous system). At the same time, the repetition of the mantra helps to calm an overactive mind. We complete our practice together with an optional invitation to affirm 'I am okay in this moment'. I hope this meditation supports your journey. Om Shanti.
