Free Mantra Wellness Techniques by Billie Topa Tate

MANTRA WELLNESS TECHNIQUES by Billie Topa Tate

During my mystical journey of learning how energy works and how our mind, body and spirit uses energy, I came across mantra’s and energy tools to stay focused.  This would infuse my energy by not allowing my mind to lead me down a stressful and depleted thought path which robs us all of vitality and meaningful focus.

Today, I’d like to introduce you to what I call “Mantra Wellness“.   The word Mantra typically means a tool to focus the mind.  Mantra’s  are also a set of words that are repeated with simple variations of breath that helps the mind shift a thought process to a higher vibration thus freeing us of a overwhelming idea that we are either feeling emotionally exhausted or somehow losing our vitality.

There are so many ways of using mantra.  You do not have to sit and take long periods of time to say a mantra.  These days we are very busy mystics and I have found that a meaningful string of words can shift of breath, thinking and reboot our nervous system.  Which helps us take the plunge of getting things done while still achieving balance during our daily activities.   I like to say… “Find Your Balance – Find Your Peace”

Here are some Mantra’s you can use to achieve oneness with peace and wisdom…

• When you feel like you have lost your harmony and peace
  Mantra: “I place in my mind what I would like to see and this will set it in motion, because everything is energy and energy follows thought”
• When you feel that someone in your life is not adding value
  Mantra: “I will set my energetic boundaries within my mind to create what I feel I need in the quality of honor and wisdom, and this will be my anchor to manifest my new tools”
• When you feel overwhelmed and rushed with a project or task
  Mantra: “ I have the time I need to do this project because time and space will be launched through my breath and my thoughts, my breath will be filled with grace and wisdom”
• A general and powerful mantra that can be used in most situations is
  Mantra: Om Shanti Shanti, Om Shanti Shanti, Om Shanti Shanti.   Use your breath like you are smelling a wonderful fragrant flower which helps sweeten the mantra

These mantras will help you relax your mind, body, spirit and find your sacred balance and also build stress resilience.

I look forward to hearing about your progress and remember “Find Your Balance – Find Your Peace.”

All Good Things to You,

Lunar Eclipse & Full Moon Free Guided Meditation

Happy Lunar Eclipse & Full Moon in the sign of Capricorn.  This time is pressing us to look more closely at the needs and wants in our lives regarding our private lives, our need for a home base, and nurturance (represented by the Sun in Cancer).  These aspects versus our public lives, careers, reputation, and accountability (represented by the Sun’s opposition to the Moon in Capricorn).

This is a good time for gentle cleanses, gentle detoxing of body, mind and spirit. You are welcome to use our free meditation on our website for a gentle energy cleanse called the loving kindness meditation. Also, because of all the eclipses this month we have a heightened awareness of the inner workings of our lives, particularly in our career and our home and family.  Decisions made now may be emotionally driven, that is why mediation is so important.

This Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Moon is aligned with Pluto and is powerful and complicated at once. The need to take action might feel urgent, but it’s better to adopt a wait and see approach since there is quite a bit of exaggeration energy at the time of the eclipse.

Morning Native Drumming Sacred Intention with Billie Topa Tate

Native Americans were taught that our consciousness was a gift from the Creator which can manifest energy for our future, present and past, as well as, channel energy even to create harmonious pathways when we travel the desert and created sacred spaces, also transformed regions.

Simple Steps to Creating a Sacred Intention…

• Sanction a quiet moment –  Take time to sanction a quiet time for you to totally focus on your expressed desire ( sacred intention ), this could be 5- 10 minutes or as long a 30 minr depending upon the depth of the sacred intention.
• Create a mindful wisdom filled expressed desire – option to write down your sacred intention.  This step is about either writing down your sacred intention or formulated your thoughts, images and emotions about what you are asking for.
• Expression of divine love – Think of a time when wonderful friend, teacher or even a loving companion animal has touched your life and has spent precious time with you. During these thoughts, images and feelings, experience divine love.

Happy New Moon Message from Billie Topa Tate

Happy New Moon …

This wonderful New Moon will last up to 4 weeks. The end of one cycle (which was quite interesting) and the beginning of a powerful new cycle. This month provides an infusion of energy and a new fresh start which can help anyone launch an important part of their dreams.

The heavens provide an avenue of wonderful energy.  The best possible way to prepare for the New Moon (Friday April 5th) is to concentrate on our energy toward new wisdom filled thoughts and timeless ancient traditions.  Wonderful examples are meditation, clearing our energy field and strategizing on what we want to represent to the world and our journey.

How to take advantage of this wonderful New Moon.  We have the chance to make important changes in our lives.

• Make some solid yet realistic plans.
• Set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be.

We are in a rare astrological window when none of the major planets/bodies are retrograde! Things may very well swim along after this check-in with reality.

Yoga and Meditation Equals Peace of Mind

Yoga and Meditation have been the topic of many articles but have you consider the story of a wonderful Apache family living the Yoga and Meditation connection. It all started many many moons ago Meditation and Yoga are so very important to our journey we call life. Both practices allow us to have that sacred time with ourselves which helps us to become aware of our strengths as well as our limitations and be guided by higher thought to become more and more wisdom filled and happy.

These qualities of wisdom and happiness are natural qualities which guide us to walk the world from a giving place. I remember when I was growing up, I was inspired by my mother and father as they walked this world with great reverence for nature and our native Apache principles. Mama Little Wolf and Papa Little Wolf ( my mother and father ) were like gentle giants, I was a small child feeling their love and respect for all animals, plants and nature.

As we walked across the desert heading out for the day, they would stop as the sun was rising to express a sacred intention, launch a sacred breath with the Creator and connect with their higher purpose for the day and for their lives.  My mother would say that we all have our personal energy and it is our goal to learn how to guide this personal energy to navigate our journey we call life and for us ( the Apache tradition ) especially during sun rise and sunset, the 2 times that we have quiet moments for guiding our day and evening.  My mother said that the Creator gifted us with many things, two of them being  Sunrise and Sunset, according to our stories, the Creator gifted these two times to provide us with a opportunity to view this beautiful moment and reset our breath, refresh our thoughts and connect with the Universe.   As a very young girl viewing this wonderful effort of intention I was inspired to use meditation and honor my self care of what  people would call yoga to facilitate a wonderful flow of energy and balance.  

My father Papa Little Wolf would show me how nature would demonstrate this practice to maintain good health and what we call ” Sacred Balance”   the balance of breath, meditation, exercise and our daily work.    Papa Little Wolf would show me how the animal kingdom would do their daily activities and also maintain balance by using breath and stretching ( yoga ) to achieve optimal energy flow through out the body mind and spirit.    I often see this when we do yoga postures for example  – spinal energy flowing postures and heart opening positions.    My teacher conveyed to me many years ago, the more light that is administered within the body, the faster the body can facilitate wonderful energy flow and thus healing our thoughts, feelings and vitality. Light means creating energy space through movement, breath and quieting the mind through meditation.    Mama Little Wolf and Papa Little Wolf truly showed me that we live with many kingdoms on this wonderful earth we call home.   All of these kingdoms have their gifts to help us during our meditation and yoga practices.   The plant kingdom with essential qualities of medicine, the animal kingdom with their beautiful energy of living among their own beautiful families and so much more.

The sacred balance of meditation and yoga especially in group meditation and group yoga can help everyone experience the universal connection of a great sense of healing and is magnified by group efforts of meditation and yoga.

The inner wisdom of meditation and yoga  practice helps us gain energy, vitality, deeper insights and tap into a much deeper understanding of this wonderful journey we call life.   

As I grew older – I asked Mama Little Wolf and Papa Little Wolf what guided them the most during their sunrise and sunset ceremonies.    Their answer developed my journey of teaching and sharing wisdom which provides rare glimpses of the inner universe and powerful meditation.My signature statement through all of my meditations I have developed throughout the years is forever a statement of that mystical moment when we all can understand our efforts, our questions, our journey.    Here is the statement that is used within all my meditations and stems from the wonderful teachings of our Apache tradition.    ” All that I am, All that I was, All that I have done, All that has been done to me, has brought me to this very sacred moment in time.”  And so it is with our meditation and yoga practice we are growing and awakening and discovering more and more about ourselves.   And to be brave to share our light and practice with others, especially with our families and all who need to be inspired to share their unique qualities on Mother Earth.  This was to be the auspicious launching of my yoga and meditation practice and helped me with my great purpose.   I trust this Apache family story inspires you to enjoy your yoga and meditation practice and I look forward to hearing your wonderful stories.
