Mind Maintenance

 The body holds memories of trauma, physical or emotional. Mantras act as the interface for dissolving those painful memories that seem lie dormant in pockets in our bodies and the sounds that emerge from the seed mantras, whether you listen to them or chant, seem to awaken the pockets and stir them until they get clean and get restored as pure spaces in the body.

The constant bombarding of sounds from the seed mantras can uproot one's knots that interfere with the patterns of day to day living. For instance "Om Dum Durgayei Namaha" is an example of toxic repellent where dirt gets accumulated in the form of thoughts and festers the consciousness to get toxic. It's a slow poison, our toxic thoughts, and time to time detoxing like these beej mantras help unearth them from the dark crevices of our minds and bodies and make us feel clean from within.

Our minds become the seat of mindful channelizing and tuning with our reality, moment to moment as we feel driven and know where we are trying to go. It's like the mind becomes the vehicle by which we move with our lives from one point to the other or also get stuck and keep blaming the vehicle for not taking us faster and making what we desired for to happen. Vehicle maintenance is part of the journey and the journey of a lifetime needs all the more discipline and awareness to understand the signals that how fast are we speeding or how much we can slow down to keep the movement nevertheless going. In which direction we want to go and what is the point we are trying to reach can all be understood if we keep track clearly instead of going haywire in all the directions and not reach anywhere.

Therefore one's consciousness is the inner compass to rely on and maintenance upkeep of the mind is the way to do so.
