8 Success Meditation Mantras for Women Entrepreneurs





#1: Juggling home and work becomes easy
All women, either working or running their own business, would agree that playing one role is no excuse to be lax with their primary tasks at home as responsible wives, daughters-in-law, or mothers. Sometimes, the pressure can be taxing, especially for business women who don’t always work in 9-5 shifts. A few minutes of meditation during the day can hone the skill to multi- task effortlessly. You will feel fresh and energized to carry out both the duties equally well and also find more time for yourself!

#2: Meditation makes you a natural leader
As a business woman leader, you are a role model for your employees, so it becomes key for you to act with a cool head in all situations as well as remain approachable to your team. Meditation helps polish the intrinsic qualities of a leader – inner confidence, strength, foresight, clarity and unbiased approach to act in the larger interest of the organization.

#3: Right decisions at the right time
When you meditate regularly, see how your intuition becomes so strong that you naturally start making the right decisions that benefit people and organizations in the long run.

#4: Creative solutions to challenges
As a woman entrepreneur, you are sure to come across challenges at every step, but it is important to be able to find appropriate solutions, again in the larger interest of the whole company. This spontaneity is a skill which meditation helps develop. Meditation instills enthusiasm and zeal in women so that you don’t look at challenges as roadblocks and are prepared to tackle them with an open mind and fresh perspective.

#5: Learning mind management
Management forms an essential part of every organization – be it health (ensuring that employees are healthy and productive), financial, or employee management. But the mantra for the smooth functioning of day-to-day operations is Mind Management - that is extremely important for a cordial work environment. As a woman entrepreneur, meditation teaches you how to keep your mind calm, relaxed and centered, which reflects in your behavior with others too. Only then can you inspire people to work together with you.

#6: Being assertive rather than aggressive
Being a woman entrepreneur, it is sometimes natural to compare yourself with men and feel pressured to perform equally well. So you may sometimes find yourself getting aggressive with your employees to get work done or make them listen to you. Meditation can teach business women the skill to be polite yet assertive. You will see an innate strength develop in yourself, to bring a diverse bunch of people together and move ahead as a team. You are able to give your team a pleasant, organized and satisfying working experience.

#7: Conflict resolution
Conflicts are natural to every organization and you have a great responsibility to resolve them. How do you negotiate win-win terms in such situations? How do you make people listen to you who are set in their own ideas of right and wrong? This requires a combination of skill and presence. Both these qualities develop naturally in women with meditation. When you meditate, you also develop the patience to listen to all parties with an open mind and make unbiased decisions.

#8: Creating a harmonious, progressive society
As women, we are born compassionate and so women entrepreneurs should use this innate quality – to create a harmonious and progressive society where people are happy, prosperous and contented. Meditation helps us develop this intent and work towards it. As Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says, “The role of women today is of utmost importance. In fact, it is the only thing that determines whether a society is strong and harmonious, or otherwise. Women are the backbone of society.”

The Life Changer


Practising meditation in my life has helped me to a great extent. It just has not helped me in one   specific aspect of my life but in various aspects, rather I can say has shaped me to a  greater aspect from what I am today. I have some instances that will throw light on the various phases  in life and personality where meditation has made difference. I have been practicing meditation since I was a kid; as far as I remember from my childhood I have been  practising it.
I was a small kid, and had gone out to play. Back at home, my family was looking for dad’s scooter’s keys. I recall the house to be toppled just for a key. When I couldn’t understand what was happening I asked my mother what they were looking for. My mother  in hurry and haphazard manner  asked if I  have seen the scooter keys. Expecting I won’t know and I would resume playing, my answer surprised her when I being cool said yes and lead her to where it was. Meditation thus has helped me in attaining  excellence. Till date, I can remember  where something is or where could it possibly be. I am good at recalling instances, events, situations or actions.



Thus meditation has helped me attain a good memory.
I recall another instance when I suddenly  told my mother  about our aunt will be coming to India from Australia before the end of the year. It was already the end of November and she had no plans. But it turned out that she had come to India for some important work and that too before the end of the year.
Thus meditation has helped me in strengthening my intuition.
I love to write poem related to nature. It's my passion in life. But  no other topic I love to write except on nature. But in order to write I need to connect to nature to write my poems.
Thus meditation has helped me live up to my passion.
At present I’m a student and have few responsibilities in college, volunteer at  NGO'S The Art of Living and another NGO Make A Difference (MAD),  writing poems for fun, and loads more which astonishes my friends on how do I manage all and play all roles and yet have time for them. What astonishes them more is when I say I have the capacities capacity to do more.



Thus meditation has helped me play multiples roles to a great extent.
I didn’t like to study much. I could hardly keep my mind focus on my task. Often I would wonder to my own fantasy world. But now I have started to achieve what I want with little effort.
Often my friends call me a calm girl. They say I know mostly what I have to do. Under pressure of deadline, I don’t lose my mind and calmly get over it.
Thus meditation has helped me attain a calm mind.
I had started to get migraine attracts. I was unable to detect the cause. But others surprise  I got over it in less than a year and this I knew was because of meditation.
Thus meditation has helped me get over my medical problem.

Thus I have gained so much in my life and framed my personality to a good human being. Thus it helped me to be who I am.
