What is a Mantra? Simply said it is a vibration of consciousness ~ in one word, SOUND. It can be created to be spoken or repeated mentally. A mantra is a word, a sound, sometimes a short phrase that can be recited and/or repeated silently or sung. Having it’s own rhythm and depending on the intention of the moment it can have different vibrational sounds.
Why a mantra? Since ancient times, mantras have been used for spiritual transformation. A mantra is a most sacred sound believed to have phenomenal spiritual power and they have been known to not only affect the person chanting but the listener as well. I once had what felt like an out-of-body experience by simply listening to Monks chanting in a Monastery I visited in France. Bringing peace, sustainability, harmony and balance they chant a mantra while walking in a type of sacred circle called a labyrinth. It was a true gold angelic-heavenly sound to my ears.
My 2023 mantra is in the form of a phrase, setting a positive daily intention or affirmation starting with this one. ‘I will be grateful for something every day’.
