Mantras
Everything in the universe is made up of energy. All energy vibrates. Differentiation happens because energy vibrates at difference frequencies. Each frequency has a sound.
Mantras have a profound impact upon us due to two reasons:
- The vibration effect of the sound; and
- The effect of the collective emotional energy behind that word due to constant repetition over time.
Benefits of Mantras ...
Mantras are words or prayers that are composed of psychically potent sound syllables that influence the human system. Repeating mantras with or without a counting device is known as japa.
Mantras are used not only in sitting meditations. You can also meditate while walking somewhere peaceful or discover for yourself how it will work for you. This will help you refresh your mind and emotions and give you a relaxing feeling.
