When people think of mantra meditation, the first phrase that comes to mind is “Om”. OM is a universal mantra and when recited, it creates powerful vibrations in the body.

A Mantra is a series of phrases or words that are sung or chanted during meditation. Mantra meditation uses dedicated words to achieve the user’s goals. It is the energy created in the chanting or singing that makes the saying a mantra. Mantras give the wandering mind a focal point. They produce a beat and a flow that is easy for the mind and body’s energy system to grasp a hold of. If the person meditating knows the meaning of the mantra, it can improve the effectiveness of the mantra.

What are the physical benefits of Mantras?

• All mantras have intense physical benefits.

• They relieve stress. The rhythm and sound of the chanting moves energy throughout the body. The movement of energy regulates the chemicals in our brains. It blocks stress hormones and releases endorphins.

• They regulate heart rate.

• Mantras enhance positive alpha, gamma, delta, and the brainwaves—the brainwaves that kick in during relaxation.

• Chanting increases immune functions, and lower blood pressure. The sound of the mantra literally drowns out the negative voices in our heads. When the negative thoughts are suppressed, the mind has room for positive thoughts.

• It is a free and easy way to manage thoughts and achieve physical and mental welfare.

• Mantras ease fear. People with phobias often adapt mantras to center on during times of fear.
