Hello,
This may seem like any other beginner concern but I am here again after years of practice in doubt of what Im even doing when I meditate :')
I got concerned as I reread the lesson and some post regarding the procedure. To me I seem to not repeat or hear the mantra anymore, at least for months I have not seemed to repeat it, I have just been favoring some feeling or an intention of it… I wonder If I am not favoring AYAM as a mental-sound which may hinder my progress?
I have not even thought AYAM in my head in a while as my meditation is very routine and automatic :S
Hi Wil,
The mantra can become a “faint feeling” or “mere intention”, or “impulse”. This is a natural part of the refinement of the mantra.

Here is the audio spoken by Yogani, if that is of help:

That page could lead you to more helpful lessons on the mantra too
Thank you Christi. That post made it clear to me again.
Btw, nice to see plenty of youtube videos from you!
