Sherianna Boyle is the author of six books and an adjunct Psychology Professor, seasoned yoga/ meditation instructor, energy therapy practitioner, and mother of three daughters who shares an understanding of the ancient process of using mantras as a way to go within and to create new states of higher consciousness and awareness.
Sherianna explains to us what a mantra is. Mantras are words, syllables, or phrases you repeat to help you connect and feel the energy within you and around you. Mantras can provide you with all kinds of support when you need it most—comfort, inspiration, reassurance, motivation, a sense of calm, or a burst of energy—and they can be practiced anytime, anywhere. The words in mantras are carefully formulated to offer you a way to be present and move through a particular situation. Incorporating mantras into your daily life will help you be more focused, centered, and better able to transform perceived obstacles into doorways of opportunity.
Having a mantra practice has served Sherianna in her life. She writes, “When I recently had a theft- identity problem my old way of thinking would have been to descend into fear….Such a hassle!, my mind immediately thought, all is well. My daily mantra practice interceded in what could have been a very stressful moment and offered me just the words I needed to think. Although I was sure to follow the necessary logistical precautions about my identity and finances, the mantra gave me the means to access a sense of calm, clarity, and resilience. In the past, I might have panicked, analyzed the “what if’s,” felt sorry for myself, or held my breath through the process. This is no longer the case. The practice of mantras not only loosens the grip of old, ineffective habits but also generously clears away what contributes to them in the first place. As a result, you free yourself of defensive coping mechanisms that previously zapped your energy, and instead you activate more liberating states of being. When this occurs, your life tends to run more smoothly, filling you with ease— When practiced and applied effectively, mantras also give you the power to positively influence others through the personal transformation of yourself. Mantras Made Easy is a collection of mantras for all the ups and downs of daily living. Think of it as a trusted friend, offering you just what you need to get through the particular situation you’re experiencing. You’ll find mantras to bring you happiness, peace, love, and healing, and mantras to help you overcome fear and anxiety. In addition to the mantras, you’ll also find specific insight into why these specific words will help in the given situation. Leave frustration, anger, and fear behind. Embrace the peace, inspiration, and happiness that mantras can provide.”
Sherianna shares with us that according to German authors Grazyna Fosar and Franz Bludorf, your body is “programmable by language, words, and thoughts.” Just like you are programmed to respond to the ring of your phone, you can program repeated words and phrases into your subconscious mind. If you repeat negative words and phrases, you begin to develop beliefs (e.g., I’m fat) and behaviors (feeling guilty and irritable) that do not serve you well. If that’s the case for you, take heart. These tendencies are actually a reflection of our evolution. In order to survive, our ancestors were wired to focus on the negative, as this increased their chances of survival.
