I\u2019ll be honest \u2014 meditation doesn\u2019t always come easy to me. Sitting still, closing the eyes, watching the breath… sometimes the mind just won\u2019t cooperate.<\/p>\n
What I\u2019ve found helps most is repeating the name of God<\/strong> \u2014 whatever that may be for you. It cuts through the noise, centres the mind, and gently brings me back to peace.<\/p>\n Neem Karoli Baba \u2014 Maharaj-ji \u2014 was rarely seen teaching in the traditional way. No sermons. No step-by-step practices. But i’ve heard it said that if you watched him closely, you\u2019d often notice his lips moving softly. \u201cRam Ram Ram<\/em>,\u201d he would say, over and over.<\/p>\n \u201cBy taking the name of Ram, everything is accomplished.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ve made this practice part of my daily rhythm. At traffic lights. In queues. Walking the dog. Lying in bed before sleep. It\u2019s my anchor. It helps still the monkey mind. And more than anything else, it brings me back to presence \u2014 back to something sacred.<\/p>\n Jai Ram \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ll be honest \u2014 meditation doesn\u2019t always come easy to me.
