Chanting Mantra
|
The lower mind
likes to think and be busy, for this reason it makes a lot of
sense to use this characteristic to our advantage. Having a mantra
repeating over in the mind has its distinct advantages. It creates
a vibrational shift in the basic quality of consciousness experienced,
and keeps us mindful of our Divine Nature. The mind becomes purified
of useless thought and becomes increasingly absorbed in the Divine.
The mind becomes stiller and simpler, and life respectively becomes
more peaceful and blissful.
Mantra is a formula of words
infused with the potency of sacred intention. They are a prayer,
and usually chanted in ancient languages such as Sanskrit, Aramaic,
Arabic etc. Often mantra is an invocation of a deity or Divine
quality. They are chanted either out loud, under the breath
or internally. Some people use beads or a rosary to help keep
the mind focused on the mantra. |
