Mantra Meditation

Mantra meditation is one of the most common styles of meditation, dating back thousands of years. It is a common practice throughout Buddhist, and Zen practices.

What Is A Mantra? Origin and Meaning

A mantra is a phrase that is repeated throughout a meditation practice. The phrase may be spoken or thought, and may or may not contain a specific meaning to it. Mantra means a tool to free the mind from thought.

Mantra Traditions

Many mantras are used out of tradition, with the focus being on the sounds produced during the vocalisation of the mantra, and in these cases it is often repeated as a chant. the most common example of this is the “Om” mantra, which is pronounced in three parts (Ahh-Auu-ohmmm), it is the sound of the universe in a single word and is very power when used with correct breathing.

Calming the mind is the most important step you can take for yourself, a calm mind leads to clarity and stillness this leads onto enlightenment, release, peace & harmony.

Om is all encompassing, the essence of the universe. The vibrations that the Om sound creates energize the chakras throughout the body, especially the third eye and crown chakras, which help us connect with our higher selves.  

The Om symbol represents the sound in a visual form and has a lot of meaning behind it. Om is one of the most important spiritual symbols.
