Mantra

Mantra originated in Sanskrit and was developed as a tool for relaxation and calming the mind. Like meditation, mantras are thousands of years old and have been used to influence human consciousness for centuries. Their essence lies in the repetition of a sound that is pleasing to the mind.

In Eastern religions, mantras are used in recitation or meditation (repetition in the mind) and their symbols can have different meanings. One of the most famous mantras is the Buddhist mantra of compassion óm mani päme hung.
