Chanting Meditation For OCD & Intrusive Thoughts

Many of us live with intrusive thoughts or OCD, which can feel overwhelming and relentless. This practice invites you to gently step back from those thoughts, remembering they do not define who you are.

Through a combination of chanting "Om Mani Padme Hum" and loving-kindness meditation, you’ll give the mind something soothing to focus on while awakening compassion for yourself. Chanting helps calm repetitive thought patterns, while the visualization of the Sun offers a grounding presence.

You don’t need to visualize perfectly or believe in anything specific—just your voice and attention are enough.

May this practice bring you moments of rest, release, and kindness toward your mind.

I wish you a beautiful practice.

What I especially liked was how you admitted you too have or have had obsessive or intrusive thoughts. It made me feel safe with, not judged by, as well as appreciative of, YOU! Thank you for your tips and advice. I feel gratitude 🙏
