If you think about it, articulating any word produces a tangible physical vibration. After some time, if you know what the influence of that vibration is, then the vibration can begin to have significance related with the consequence of repeating that word.
You have mantras in all kinds of languages and religions. Like for example, Ave Marie is a familiar mantra chanted by Christians all over the world. Another well -known mantra is the Tibetan mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum this mantra is chanted for world peace.
Everyone knows that everyday life can be hectic and demanding at times. It can appear difficult for you to be able to find ten minutes a day to let go. So what can you do?

Mantras can be used as a form of concentrated meditation to bring about constructive changes to all aspects of your life.
The first thing you must do is to choose and remember your mantra. You can use traditional or religious mantras. You can if you want to use sounds such as Aum which is frequently used. Remember if you feel uncomfortable using a certain mantra then just make one up yourself: like, "I want to be more communicative with people." Or whatever you want to achieve. You can even just make your own word up and use it, just as long as it has meaning for you.
The second thing you need to do is find a quiet place away from interruptions for you to utilise your mantra. So you will need to assign a bit of time for that. It doesn't have to be long, about five to ten minutes every day will do, to use your mantra effectually.
Now sit in a position you feel relaxed in and close your eyes. You can now begin and start chanting your mantra. Whilst you are chanting your mantra, take some deep breaths at your own pace and just let the tension and frustration from every part of your body and mind just drift away.
After about five to ten minutes of chanting, you can use about another five minutes to assist you to soak up the mantra you have been meditating on. This will aid you to relieve your mind of the stress and that has been clouding your mind throughout the day. Good Luck!
