Although mantra has been often upset as a "religious thing" by the call to the names of the deities or gods, it is not really so. Mantra is a sound form.It is a Sanskrit word that etymologically means "by the repetition which the spirit is free from external experiences." That's how it is to be seen and experienced.


Sound has a shape; sound has a color. Each sound makes patterns of shapes and colors in the spirit. Vibrations of different frequency make different patterns.These patterns lead to withdrawal from sensory experiences. If you are going to continue further with success, they would lead to (Transient) deeper experiences such as ESP, mystical experiences and so on. Eventually they will help the genuine practitioner even surpass these inner experiences and distraction and moving on the way to eternal bliss.


Now, sound of mantra is not be seen in the context of the written word. In fact, it can sound formed by following the written word for higher experiences and be severely restricted.The nature of the mantra is that of a cosmic sound and should preferably be heard from a teacher.Mantra repetition can happen if 3 ways-audible, whisper or silent (the idea). each method has different frequencies of repetition, different shapes and different effects has the most powerful is the silent method, because it is the highest frequency. The sound Louder, more is the speed but lower frequency.


Rhythmic repetition of the mantra - the mantra should be repeated with a certain rhythm of your choice. The rhythm can be synchronized with the breath or with the pulsation in any part of the body or in any way you desire. The mantra should be repeated with each Pearl turned.



Way of recitation-as mentioned earlier, the mantra audible, as a whisper can be repeated or than silent. This depends on your mental state. If the spirit is disrupted or if you sleepy, it is best to repeat the mantra audible and then progress to whisper, and then to the Pacific thought of mantra.Beginners can also spread of audible repetition to the more powerful silent repetition.


Speed of recitation-Repeat the mantra with a speed that feels right.The slower the recitation, the greater the frequency and the power behind the mantra.Conversely, a faster repetition implies a lower frequency and force behind the mantra reduced. However, you may have to change the speed depending on the status of your mind. A dissipated and sleepy mind you may need a faster repetition of the mantra-a slower repetition may put you off to sleep!


Eyeball movement-For successful mantra meditation practice, it is important that the movement of the eye as its author was absent. Eyeball movement there is always (even when we are sleeping in the form of BRAKE), but for this exercise, it is essential that the traffic is jammed for desirable results. this movement is gradually eliminated by constant focus on your symbol on an imaginary place on the middle of the eyebrow.
Also, it often helps to proposals made by the vibration of the mantra converging in the middle of the eyebrow.
