This is a 14-minute meditation built around a traditional Buddhist mantra, the Medicine Buddha Mantra, taught by Yogetsu Akasaka. You listen as the chant repeats, and let its rhythm draw your attention inward, away from outside noise and toward a slower, steadier pace.
It suits anyone who wants to unwind at night or begin the morning gently. Use it when your thoughts feel scattered, when you want a spiritual note in your routine, or when you simply want a few minutes to settle into calm.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is the Medicine Buddha Mantra?
It is a traditional Buddhist mantra, a phrase chanted again and again as a focus for meditation. In this track it is the centre of the practice, and you are invited to let the sound draw your attention inward.
Do I need to chant along?
You can simply listen, which is enough to feel the effect of the rhythm. If you feel moved to join in quietly, that is fine too. There is no right way to do it.
Do I need to know Buddhism or understand the words?
No. The practice works through sound and repetition, so you can rest in the chant without knowing its meaning. Understanding the tradition may add depth, but it is not required.
Why is it suggested for both night and morning?
At night, the steady repetition helps you unwind and let go of the day. In the morning, the same calm gives you a gentle, unhurried start rather than a rushed one.
How is a mantra different from a guided meditation?
Instead of following spoken instructions, you anchor your attention to a repeated sound. When your mind wanders, you return to the chant, which gradually settles the mind.
