A Short Mantra: So Ham

You can use short mantras, such as the famous "So Ham", which means "I am". This is an "ajapa" mantra: it is not recited or chanted aloud.

It is often used in meditation sessions.

Inhale on So and exhale on Ham. This mantra helps cultivate self-compassion, awakening and self-awareness.

Positive affirmations

You can use positive affirmations as mantras.

I love and accept myself as I am.
I have confidence in myself and in life.
I have everything I need to succeed.
I have the power to create my reality.

These phrases can also become your mantras, if you feel they are more relevant to you.

It will be especially true if you can integrate them more easily into your daily exercises, like in your ukulele practice.

Gayatri mantra

The Gayatri mantra is one of the oldest mantras, dating back to the Rig-Veda . At the time, only Brahmins were allowed to recite it.

It is an invocation to the Sun and its power. It is also a metaphor for existence, illuminating consciousness.

The words are as follows:

Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah,
Tat Savitur Varenyam,
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi,
Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat.

There are many translations. Swami Vivekananda's gives the follwing one: "we meditate on the glory of the Being who produced this universe, may He enlighten our minds".

Ganesha mantra

In Hindu mythology, Ganesh is the fruit of the union of Shiva and Parvatti. He is a particularly important elephant-headed god, lord of prosperity, beauty, grace and compassion.

The Ganesha kirtan is dedicated to him and is used to sweep away obstacles that may prevent a person from advancing.

It is pronounced "Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha", meaning to honor Ganesh, the breaker of obstacles.

Tibetan mantra

The mantra "Om mani padme Hum" comes from Tibetan Buddhism, invoking essential wisdom and union with the universe. It can be translated as "the jewel of the Lotus". It is of paramount importance throughout the Buddhist world as one of its most famous mantras.
