The Power of Mantras in Mind Healing
Mantras serve as mind tools that assist in healing the mind, redirecting it back to the present moment. They can stem from various religious traditions or be more secular, providing individuals with words that resonate with them for centering and healing. Utilizing mantras can help regulate breathing to an ideal count, incorporating soothing sounds like 'sa' to enhance their calming effect. Practicing a chosen mantra can be done formally, such as with a mala or informally by repeating it quietly when needed.
