Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 04, 2018

I forgot my mantra.

I paid for a DVD of “Mothra”, once. I think I made a better investment, all things considered.

It’s a burden, it’s a pain, it’s Super Mantra!

Om ….-y, what a sucker!

Surprised Rat isn’t behind this.

All of the good Ommms were taken.

There’s no place like Om…

Am I the only one who actually chanted it to see how it would work as a mantra?

Pretty good actually.

There are so many of these. Why do you need to pay someone to meditate. Just daydream, same darn thing. FREE too!

Om, money, pay me, om.

Republiclan motto and business mondel.

*sorry. saw a straight line and couldn’t pass it up.

They still have those (TM classes)? I found the list of TM mantras on the interweb a bunch of years ago. They’re based on age. Hint – They are not “Ommmm”. That may be some meditation practice or method, but it’s not TM, which was (and maybe still is) a registered trademark.

Tageuse Haiyam Owah …

“If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.” (actual quote) In this case you might want to take that literally.

Poor Pig. I’ll share my mantra for free “F—- That”

Useful for oral surgery at least-Trance and Dental Meditation…

Cowboy mantra: “Om, Om on the Range…”

Mantra 101, never ever pay full price for a mantra. I got mine with a groupon.

And how much did it cost him? I;m guessing 42 bucks.

Dear Mr. Pastis,You are an ignorant buffoon. While I am a regular reader of your strip, this was stupid. I have been practicing the TM technique since February 1974 and have never felt that I got “screwed.” Take a look at https://tmforveterans.org/comments-from-vets/ and you will read testimonials from veterans suffering from PTSD who say that TM has saved their lives. Listen to Luke Jensen at https://www.tm.org/blog/video/tm-saved-my-life/ Military police sergeants, civilian police officers and SWAT team members are all supposed to be tough. Luke Jensen was all three, so when the stress of combat began eating away at him, he felt so ashamed, he wanted to die.Meditation helped correct that desire — and he believes it could help other soldiers and veterans.

If you doubt its benefits ask a professional in addiction services – Dr. Staggers in Berkeley. Better yet, go visit him – he’s less than two hours from Santa Rosa. l Frank Staggers, MD, Director of Berkeley Addiction Treatment Services and former Medical Director of the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic

Try to start relaxing

Dr. Herbert Benson titled mantra-type meditation the Relaxation Response many years ago. It’s easy, free and has the same benefits as Transcendental Meditation as proved by many scientific studies. This type of meditation is very beneficial and amenable to a daily routine. This is a very useful tool, just as TM is. Try it; it will help you—and it is not a “religious” practice.

I don’t want to say Pig is gullible…. But, what the hey; someone will. Pig is gullible.

The correct saying is “We screwed you well”. Or in Pig’s case, We screwed your well".

Aka, the “Turning of the Screwed”.

Ommmmmmmmmmmm G!!!

My mantra is “This is all just a bad dream.”
