The meaning of Mantra roots in ‘mana’ meaning ‘mind’ and ‘tra’ meaning ‘to save, to protect’. Thus, the literal meaning of mantra is “protection of mind”. It provides a protective layer around your mind.
Mantras are thought to have the power to reach deep into the unconscious mind. They are phrases in the Sanskrit language that are continuously chanted to alter the vibration of every aspect of your being.
Mantra chanting can reduce stress and is commonly used as a healing and environmental purification technique.
We will chant together every day.
