Truly Sacred Mantras embody mystical qualities recognized by spiritual seekers throughout the generations. A hallowed mantra generates empowerment from its ancient ritual, saint, or master and the spiritual seekers who have used it in their journey toward enlightenment. In The Practice, a Sacred Mantra is not the same as a positive affirmation. An affirmation can be a wonderful complement to your Sacred Mantra, but it does not replace it.

Sometimes called a mantram, sacred phrase, or centering prayer, the Sacred Mantra helps train your mind to pay attention and focus on the present moment. It creates space between chaotic or competing thoughts. It intercepts or slows the rush of thoughts in your mind. It resonates at the core of your heart, your truest self. As a “sacred friend,” it is a loyal, steadfast companion and a source of unconditional support. That’s exactly the positive, focused relationship each of us needs in life!
