Mantras are words or phrases that are repeated again and again, either out loud or internally, and served as an object of meditation. Repetition helps quieten the mental processes and to focus more easily.

But mantras are not mere phrases that are repeated, chosen at random. They are words that have a spiritual content and especially sound associated with natural processes. The original Sanskrit mantras come. Sounds that are sacred ancient sages used for meditation practice, as they knew their huge harmonizer power. In the mantras it is also very important the sound, as well as its content. And this is easily verifiable: can recite a mantra in Sanskrit without knowing their meaning but can feel like your body is aligned with sound vibration, energy carrying you.

In the Hindu tradition, mantras are intended to synchronize the vibration of the person who recites his object of meditation. Its sound is as important as its meaning, and even more: in Buddhist tradition it is advisable not to think too much about its meaning, since transcendence is achieved through sound, which is the original essence, and need not be intellectualized any so, but only be perceived through.
