The Mantra is the focal point for meditation.
In yoga it is a word,or group of words, that are given from a holy person to one who is kind. Kindness to oneself and others is crucial in yoga.
Many who practice yoga but who do not have a personal Mantra use the word Soham ... repeat "Soooooooo" on the outbreath and "haaammmmmmmmm" on the inbreath, silently.
The Mantra, or the equivalent, is a very important part of many faiths, and is also used as a tool to still the mind by those of no faith at all. Its use is widespread the world over, by many different cultures.
The Mantra is repeated silently to help focus the mind and stop the usual turbulent thoughts that constantly come and go.
The Mantra is associated with ancient positive, powerful vibrational energy. Repeating it silently throughout the day helps you feel calmer, happier, more content because you are focused more on the peace you feel inside, rather than the turbulence of external things.
You may even find that obstacles in your life just fade away. The power of the Mantra is strong. It helps you flow with the positive energy of the universe ... it is reviving, uplifting, cleansing, calming, grounding. If you use it regularly it will become your best friend.
