Part of a new series of guided practices included in the FREE Plum Village App ➛ https://plumvillage.app The series is kindly offered by mindfulness teacher Sister Dang Nghiem. This audio offers guidance on the practice of wielding a mantra.

"A mantra is a sacred utterance believed to have religious, magical, or spiritual powers in Eastern religions. [...] They can have a profound positive effect on your body and mind as soon as you
pronounce them. As you practice these mantras diligently, they replace your habitual negative thoughts and feelings."

➛ The content of this audio draws on Sister Dang Nghiem's latest book, Flowers in the Dark (2021), a deeply thoughtful guide to healing trauma with mindfulness practice. By bringing together her lived experience as a survivor, a certified MD, and an ordained Buddhist teacher, she offers a body-based, practical approach to healing from the most difficult and painful life experiences.
