This was one of the benefits I noticed first with this meditation. Within days of me meditating there was a visible reduction of my anxious thoughts and concerns. The quality of my thoughts shifted from worrying and negative scenarios to every situation to a deep sense of calm and clarity.

Sakura meditation uses the power of sound, these gentle vibrations or mantras are chosen to match each individual’s nervous system. This soft repetition of the sound within the mind will create a soothing effect. It’s easy to do, there’s no need to concentrate or focus.

When we begin to effortlessly repeat the mantra in our mind, the brain enters in the alpha-1 state, which is characterized by high coherence in the prefrontal cortex, our brain’s CEO.

This high-level brain patterning correlates strongly with a very significant reduction in anxious thoughts and sensations.

It helps us to remain calm and rational under pressure, seeing the big picture and pausing to reflect, instead of reacting.

Sakura meditation enhances our alertness, significantly boosting our capacity to identify real threats and respond appropriately. This allows us to relax whenever we are not faced with true danger. A great sense of general safety and being protected is one of the effects of this technique.
