In this Ayurveda meditation video, you will be led through a 15 minute Mantra Meditation practice. This is not only a meditation practice but also a mantra practice. Mantra comes from the Sanskrit words manas or “mind” and trai or “to protect”, “to set free.” Therefore, mantra means “to set free from the mind.” Mantras are tools for the mind. They direct prana and are used in Ayurveda for self-healing. One of the most healing mantras in Ayurveda is the mantra to Dhanvantari, the God of Ayurveda. Some call Dhanvantari the “celestial physician.” When we practice Mantra Meditation we utilize sound, breath and awareness by silently reciting the mantra OM Sri Dhanvantari Namaha.
