One of my teachers recommended I repeat a mantram. The story goes like this.
In India as elephants walk through the streets, they grab at branches. But if you give them a stick to carry they walk without grab at branches. The mind given a mantram over and over again evenwriting it out has worked for me. I use Gandhi”s Rama Rama . Over and over its
like counting sheep. It’s like telling the mind not to think of pink elephants and than all it does is show me pink elephants floating in the clouds.
