Get on your feet. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, your knees slightly bent and your hips centered, as though you’re about to squat. Or, if you wish, sit or lie down. Keep your body loose and comfortable with your arms at your sides or on your hips. Begin by taking a few cleansing breaths. Pick a word, any word. Choose a word that alternates vowels and consonants – like "serenity." The word that you select doesn’t necessarily have to be a spiritual one. It just has to feel good when you say it.
Repeat after yourself. Repeat the word, chant the word, focus on nothing but saying the word over and over again. Let the sound of it vibrate through your body. Let the word resonate up from your abdomen and let it go to your hands and feet. Let your muscles move as you chant the word. Some people have a tendency to clench their muscles when they’re tense. It’s important to roll the sound through your body so that you can clear out the tightness in your muscles.
Doing this promotes the meditative state of relaxation that feels like a natural high!
