Mindfulness has been shown in clinical trials to be an effective way of reducing stress. It is a form of focused awareness that helps to prevent the runaway thinking that gives rise to physical and emotional hyper-arousal.

Bodhipaksa and Sunada combine forces to bring you a complete guide to mantra meditation. Here, you'll find everything you need to get started with a mantra chanting practice, including: The "magical" background and history of mantras.

These short "sits" are ideal for the person who needs to meditate but who feels they don't have the time.
