Do you generally feel bad about
drawing a line or keeping boundaries when it comes
to your mental health? For example, when someone is
speaking negatively about something and their negativity
comes from their own pain, but it
starts affecting you as well? In such a
scenario, do you find it incredibly hard to walk away
from that conversation or to openly
express that it is hurting you as well? If the answer
is yes, then you are not alone. And
we're gonna talk about this a little in today's episode before
you learn about another beautiful mantra.
So Namaste and welcome to today's episode of the Mahakatha
meditation mantras podcast. I'm your host,
Preeti. And today, we're talking about those tricky situations
where we don't really know how we can help without
harming ourselves and harming our own peace of mind.
If you consider yourself an empath like me, Then
this is definitely something you are struggling with or you have
struggled with in the past, and it can be quite a difficult one to get
around. And I wondered about this until I came across
a line somewhere that said, "You don't always
have to help by doing. Sometimes,
you can also help simply by
being." And that made me think. When
we think of helping, we always think in terms of
doing something. Right? Offering something, supporting
something, forgiving something, caring for something. We
always think of helping
in terms of action. However,
maybe there is a way of helping
which does not involve any action
or any exchange of words even. Maybe
you can just help sometimes by
being, by showing up, by being a
stranger who smiles, by being someone
who appears calm and clear and
kind in an atmosphere where everybody
else is only spouting negativity and frustration
towards one another. You can help by just
being there for some distant
old friend who thought nobody
would show up for him or her. You can help
just by being the best, most
calm version of yourself in any situation
of panic. Think about the people you love the
most, the people who've shaped your life or even your
soulmate if you have recognized one in your life already.
Think about those people
and how and how they really have helped you
so far. There may be a handful of
instances where they did something amazing for you or they
said something that changed your perspective and turned your
life around. But on majority of the days,
all they did was show up for
you, be with you despite not having all
the answers or the solutions. They did
not always know exactly what you were going through.
They did not always actively solve the
problem that you were facing. Sometimes, all
they did was sit next to you and hold
you and hear you out.
Sometimes, you can help simply by
being. And I think this is the kind
of help we should offer in those
tricky situations where we find that doing
something for this person will actually
harm me, or compromise on my
peace of mind. In such situations,
you can perhaps help by being
yourself, by
being relaxed, by being an example of
calmness and composure, by being an
example of kindness, by being
an example of non-judgment,
without talking yourself down,
without ruining your peace of mind,
without compromising on your values.
You can still help someone by being
your true self. Some might
find it not very helpful. Some might think of you
as less for not participating in their problem and
their problem-solving, but those who
are ready to be grateful, those who
are ready to look for solutions everywhere,
look for answers everywhere. Those who are ready to see
the blessing in everything will see
the blessing in having you around,
in having you present in this phase in
their lives. They will see it
and acknowledge it when they're ready.
Meanwhile, it is your job to continue working on
yourself, to continue becoming a better and better
version of yourself so that you can
be a bigger source of light and
inspiration for people you might not even
know that look up to you. And
this task of yours to continuously keep working
on yourself can be as simple
as spending 5 to 10 minutes in meditation, whether
it means you are sitting in one place
and closing your eyes and meditating, or whether it
is a meditative walk through your garden
where your only focus is the pleasant
colors and smells that are all around you,
where you walk in appreciation. No matter how
you choose to meditate, doing a little bit of
it every day is going to help you
become that radiant human
being whose presence itself is
auspicious. And if that sounds like something you
want to work on, then I have
the perfect mantra to guide you on this
daily journey. The mantra I'm
talking about is the ancient
Buddhist Shaakya Muni mantra. This
divine chant will give you a feeling of
moving further and further on the path of
self-discovery and enlightenment. Listening
to this mantra has been described as a
transformative experience by many of our listeners.
And this is the same experience I would like you to have.
And so if you would like to avail this mantra and try it
out this week, you can have this mantra at a 30%
discount by using the code mentioned in the
description. So go ahead and see for yourself what it feels like.
And if you need some more inspiration, here are
2 of the most beautiful comments from our listeners
who have used this mantra. The first
one says, "Thank you very much.
Beautiful." "It's doing something to my soul." This
says so much in such few words. Thank you, dear
listener, for leaving us this beautiful comment. Another
one says, "Thank you. Life is full of stress. This
mantra made my mind peaceful." Again,
thank you, dear listener. This is exactly our
intent through this mantra and all the other mantras that
we put out on Mahakatha. It warms
my heart to know that something that me
and my team work on with so much love
and intention is really reaching out to all you
listeners. So now I really hope that you will try out the
Shakyamuni mantra and that you also found
a valuable takeaway from what we discussed
today. That's it for this episode. I'll be
back next week with a brand new episode and mantra.
Until then, keep helping yourself. Keep
helping others and stay blessed.
