MANTRAS - Feel the effect
A Mantra is a formula or a word with spiritual significance. Stripped off any Hindu background it is just a meaningless word or syllable which can help you relax very deeply. Mantra meditation is a very effective relaxation technique. Ok... Lets try... Close your eyes. After one or two minutes rest, start the mantra and repeat several times with the voice getting lower and lower. Then only whispering and eventually only thought. Even thinking of the mantra can get lower!
