August Meditative Mantra
This is a simple, meditative mantra. People often say they "don't know how to meditate" or "can't meditate" or "can't stop thinking about things". That's ok - don't worry about - there isn't a right way and most people have a hard time not thinking about things.
This is a guided meditation and it's only 5 minutes long (ok, it's actually 6 minutes, but I promise they will go quickly). When you start thinking about what to make for dinner or what to get your friend for his/her birthday, or whatever thoughts dirft into your mind, acknowledge the thought, let it know you will get back to it when you are done, and re-focus on the meditation.
