Hi !
I just moved in with my sister( I just divorced my ex) and I am pretty sad. My sister told me about mantras. She said that I need to read mantras. Can someone explain to me what is it-MANTRAS? She told me like basic stuff, but don't quiet understand.

Hi, Jenitt!

By definition, a mantra is a word or phrase that a person repeats over and over. They can help to center a persons concentration on something.

What did your sister tell you about them, please?

Thanks!

Hi Clough! Thank you for the respond!
You have to forgive my poor english, I am russian. But I will try to explain!
Well she said the same that you did.And also that reading mantras protects you from bad energy. And I can see that my sister became a better person. I just want to understand the history( where it come from)... if you know what I mean... how by repeating the same word make you to understand more about yourself and others... She knows people who were doing this for years and it is helping them... I guess to be better, not to get upset over the stuff that you don't have control over, know what they want, understand who they are.. that kind of stuff...
Thank you, but that's all I know so far!

Hi again, Jenitt!

What sort of words and/or sentences did your sister tell you to say, please?

Your doing fine with your English! Please keep practicing that keep up the good work! :)

Thanks!

Mantras are words or phrases that are chanted out loud or internally as a meditation or prayer. Often these mantras are associated with particular religious figures or states of being, whose qualities can be cultivated by the repetition of the relevant mantra.

Certain cultures believe in the sacred power of words, and believe that saying certain words or names can control the external world, or control unseen forces that may affect them.

As an example, one could say that the Catholic rosary (used regularly) is also a 'mantra'.

Mantras can also take the form of positive affirmations - for example:

Quote:

---

I choose love, joy and freedom, open my heart and allow wonderful things to flow into my life.

Many people claim that positive affirmations (when used regularly) help re-program the brain and assist you to think differently about things.
