Think you can’t meditate?
Too many thoughts? Too distracted? Can’t sit still? You’re not alone. This is the “monkey mind” – something we all experience. But here’s the good news: you don’t need a silent mind to start meditating.
Mantra meditation offers a grounding, accessible way to find calm and clarity.
Through the repetition of sound, mantras can help settle the mind, relax the body, and reconnect you to a sense of stillness. It’s not about getting it perfect. It’s about showing up, breathing, and coming back to the sound.
At HeartSong, our mantra and meditation gatherings offer a warm, supportive space to explore this powerful practice.
“Although Western science is only just beginning to explore the healing power of sound, our instinctive natures have known that singing and uttering ancient lyrics stir something within the soul when words themselves are not enough.”
— Miranda Macpherson
Mantra meditation is a form of vocal meditation using simple, repeated sounds or phrases. These mantras can help:
Settle mental chatter
Relax the nervous system
Cultivate focus, calm, and presence
You can simply listen, breathe, and join in with your voice when you feel ready - there’s no pressure at all. You don’t need to be a “singer” or an experienced meditator - all are welcome.
Each session includes:
Gentle, guided meditation to help you feel calm and grounded
Peaceful mantras and heart-opening chants from around the world
Breath and sound practices that support emotional and physical well-being
A warm, inclusive atmosphere with no judgment and no pressure
We’re supported by live music throughout, with Ema on harmonium and Peter on guitar, creating a soothing and uplifting soundscape.
Every Wednesday 10:30 – 11:30
Followed by tea and cake – stay and chat if you like.
Location: HeartSong Studio, 50140 Mortain
€10 per session
This is a friendly, drop-in style group. Newcomers are always welcome, and no previous experience is needed — just an open heart and a curious mind.

“Mantras help us attain inner peace by calming the fluctuations of the mind. The sound of the mantra soothes the mind and body, bringing us a sense of deep relaxation.”
