Mantras

---

Here we will introduce the power of Mantras what they mean, how to recite them and what they invoke and manifest into your life.

Mantras have proven for thousands of years, up until the present and beyond, that in practice you can manifest anything desired from reciting them. each one having its own unique focus, and by reciting them you can produce abundance, joy, health, commitment, focus and cleansing to name a few; and they can affirm one’s devotion to the principles and deities other mantras are dedicated too.

Mantra is a word of Sanskrit origin formed by the roots Mon ("think") and between ("protect", "release").

Hence, the oldest mantras have come to us through yoga and are part of the Hindu tradition. However, as we will see, mantras are also used in many religions, such as Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

These disciplines involve both our physical, emotional and mental facets, and their goal is self-realization. And just as yoga postures are pleasant for the body, because they oxygenate the cells and relax and stretch contracted muscles, mantras have the power to exert a relaxation, concentration and well-being effect on the mind.

Mantras are pleasant to listen to or repeat mentally for any human being given the state of peace they generate. Recited carefully, better in silence, they produce a feeling of tranquility and harmonise internal energy.

In India the mind is often compared to the trunk of an elephant: restless, curious and always in motion.

In the great celebrations, decorated elephants parade until they reach the temple. The streets are usually winding, with food stalls. The elephant advances with its trunk swinging from side to side, and in a sinuous movement it grabs a bunch of bananas and swallows them at once.

Then he takes a coconut and then a loud crunch is heard. No promise or threat can stop his greedy trunk. But the wise tamer, if he knows his elephant, gives him a small bamboo pole to pick up with his trunk before leaving.

Then the animal walks proudly, with its head held high, holding the reed like a drum major with its drumstick. He will no longer be interested in bananas or coconuts because his trunk will have something to hold on to.

Much the same thing can happen with the mind. Most of the time she has nothing to hold on to, but if we give her a mantra, we can keep her away from all kinds of absurd situations.

The mantra allows you to stabilize the mind. All these emotions are energy that flows against us and the mantra can help dominate it and redirect it in our favor.

When a mantra is repeated regularly, mental disorder disappears and there is no insecurity that penetrates the heart.

The mantra is most effective when it is repeated silently, with as much concentration as possible. Perhaps saying the mantra out loud a few times helps to remember it, and it is so rhythmic that it can even be chanted, as is done in many religious traditions.

However, mental recitation is usually recommended, without placing emphasis on tone or rhythm.

Anything that distracts from the mantra itself, such as counting, worrying about intonation, or relating it to psychological processes, only weakens its effect. It's like trying to swim the length of a pool with a float tied around your waist.

That is why it is more practical not to depend on any external help, not even the rosary that is used in many religious traditions, unless you already have experience with it. Counting or thinking about what the hands are doing keeps us on a higher level. superficial consciousness.

A mantra is more than just a word or phrase; It is a force and, in order for that force to eliminate the partitions of consciousness and allow us to access our deepest resources, it must operate from the depths of our being. At first, of course, the mantra is repeated only at the surface level of the mind, but if practiced regularly it will take root in consciousness until it becomes as natural as breathing.
