INTRODUCTION
What is Mantra Therapy?
Mantras are used for a variety of purposes, including healing, meditation, personal development, and prayer. This can be done by linking your breath to the vibration of sound; the repetition of the sacred word helps you to enter a deep meditative state. That helps to clear all your negative thoughts and connect you to your higher self and the divine. Mantra therapy is the practice of doing all of these things for the purpose of healing; therapy is the treatment of a mental or physical illness without the use of drugs or surgery.
