allows you to concentrate on one peaceful sound
</span> Mantra is a Sanskrit word which
literally translates to “instrument of the mind.” From scattered thought and
outward focus, mantras lead the mind to stillness and inner focus. Concentrating
on one thought or on a phrase that doesn’t evoke strong emotions is a great
start to achieve inner peace. Repeating the mantra will then prevent
distracting thoughts and ideas from popping up. The repetition will gradually
slip the mind into a state of thoughtlessness which is better than forcing the
mind suddenly to do so.
