The power of Mantra

The Healing Power Of Mantra AffirmationsBy Heidi Ronquillo
Mantras are powerful healing affirmations filled with energy.
Mantras are practiced in Japa meditation or said as prayers in yogic, Hindu, and Buddhist practices.
The meaning and various types of mantras are sacred and hold special powers.
They can become an integral part of our spiritual practice.

Definition of MantraA mantra is a revealed word, a divine sound that has been received or experienced by a rishi (seer) in the state of deep samadhi (spiritual absorption). 
A condensed form of spiritual divine energy.
Esoteric literature in the yoga tradition describes a mantra as the essence of guru shakti, the power of the spiritual master. The mantra is itself the guru.
The mantra, God, guru, and one’s highest Self are one.
Mantra is a sacred formula, it is a subtle form of a deity, sound/vibration.

SanskritMantras are part of a sacred spiritual language called Sanskrit, which is a vibrational language.
The language can be felt throughout the body.
It promotes healing through our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
The most transformational mantras are the Bija mantras.
Bija translated from Sanskrit is seed.
It is a seed that is planted and grows as one repeats it, and it is manifested in our lives.
It manifests in various ways depending on the intention held while repeating the mantra.
Mantras can be said as a single prayer with the strongest of intention or repeated 108 times using a mala (beaded necklace with 108 beads and a guru bead) in Japa meditation.
Mantras are powerful tools to be used for healing.
With the use of Mantras we can send to the universe the vibrational energy we want to attract, creating transformation and healing in our lives.
