Now that you know how to use Power Mantras you may wish to continue using one of the ready-made mantras that I presented in Using Power Mantras. However, you might also like to create your own power mantras, in which case the following information will be of use…
Creating a power mantra is actually a very simple process which can be summarised as follows:
- Know what quality or event you want to take place in your life.
- Select between one and seven words which symbolize this quality or event.
- If these words flow for you and are easy to chant then your power mantra is ready for use.
Remember that spoken words are merely verbal symbols which are used to bring a specific non-verbal image or emotion into your stream of consciousness. For example, the word, ‘cat’ consists of just three letters, but when the word is used your consciousness automatically receives a specific image or emotion which transcends those three letters. In other words, the word cat is just a symbol designed to invoke a specific reaction in your stream of consciousness.
The words of a power mantra are therefore less important than the reaction that they create within you. As long as you select words which symbolize your goal for you, and they are easy to chant, they will serve you well as a mantra of your own.
Let us imagine that you want to develop a greater sense of power in your life and that you want to feel more ‘in control’ of your circumstances. You might decide to select words such as POWER, CONTROL, INFINITE, TOTAL and so on. A suitable power mantra in this case might be, ‘INFINITE POWER, TOTAL CONTROL’.
Remember, the words themselves are unimportant. What is important is that they create in your consciousness an accurate image or feeling of what you truly want to create in your life. Keep this fact in mind and you will have no problem whatsoever in creating power mantras which work for you.
However you decide to use Power Mantras, I am confident that you will find them to be invaluable in helping you to attract whatever you want into your personal reality. But as with all methods, you first have to use them. So start right now!
The first phase of a power mantra program is to determine the one quality that you would most like to have in your life. For some of you, this could be abundance. For others it could be health. For still others, it could be a new level of higher spiritual awareness.
Once you have determined the quality that you seek to create in your life, the next thing you must do is select a suitable power mantra from the selection provided at the end of this article. If there is no power mantra listed which you feel is suitable for your needs, you may create your own, and I will discuss how to do this in my next article.
For now, I will assume that you have determined a quality that you want to create in your life and that have found a suitable power mantra from the selection provided at the end of this article. In this case, you are ready to start using your power mantra. All you need to do is follow two simple steps:
Step #1 - Stabilize Your Energy Field
Because the entire purpose of using Power Mantras is to change the state of your personal energy field, the first step is to ensure that this energy field is stabilized to begin with. To do this, go to a quiet place where you will not be disturbed and sit comfortably with your back straight.
Now close your eyes and concentrate your attention on the solar plexus (roughly where your two lowest ribs meet in the centre of your chest). Recognize this space as your ‘personal energy core’ – the place from which your personal energy field radiates. If it helps, you can visualize this energy core (some may prefer the term chakra) as a glowing ball of bright white energy. Focus on this core until you find that your mind has become calm and tranquil.
At this point, your personal energy field is deemed to have been stabilized. You may feel more centred than perhaps you normally do, and this is because you have brought your attention back to its own origin – the core of your being.
Step #2 - Repeat The Mantra
Once you have stabilized your personal energy field, you should begin chanting the Power Mantra that you selected earlier. Obviously, the words you chant will depend on the specific mantra that you have selected, but a few general rules should be adhered to for any mantra, and these are:
Aim to develop a natural rhythm when chanting the mantra. At no point should your chanting make you feel out of breath. Instead, the mantra should be chanted in such a way that it fits in perfectly with a steady and relaxed breathing pattern.
If you have selected a mantra which consists of two or more individual words, do not worry about having to chant them separately. If you so desire, a two or three word mantra can be chanted as though it were one long word of roughly equal syllable lengths. For example, the mantra, ‘ABUNDANT PROSPERITY WEALTH IS FOR ME’ could be chanted as, ‘AB-UND-ANT-PROS-PER-IT-Y-WEALTH-IS-FOR-ME’ as if it were one long, flowing word.
As you chant your Power Mantra, imagine bands of pure energy radiating from your energy core, extending outwards in all directions to form a ‘bubble’ around your physical body. Every time you chant your mantra, a new band of energy strengthens the bubble of energy around you.
As you chant, begin to feel the emotion of what you want your Power Mantra to bring you. If you have selected a mantra for prosperity, begin to imagine how you will feel to be wealthy. Similarly, if you have selected a mantra for spiritual enlightenment, being to imagine how it will feel to have a higher spiritual awareness. If you can visualize these improvements in your life, then feel free to do so. What is most important, however, is to develop the emotion of having what you desire as you chant.
Spend at least ten minutes each day chanting your Power Mantra in this way. The ideal would be to chant in the manner described for fifteen minutes in the morning and for another fifteen minutes in the evening. Do this and you will begin to feel a subtle change in your outlook within a couple of days. Then, within a week or two, you should begin to notice at least a few signs of your desires manifesting in your reality. When this happens, get excited, for you are proving to yourself in your own life that you truly have the power to create good things!
When many people begin using Power Mantras for the first time, they often find that at some point during their mantra sessions the mantra they are chanting seems to lose all sense of meaning. It feels as if one is speaking gibberish which makes no sense.
This is nothing to worry about. All it suggests is that your mind is no longer processing the mantra as mere words, but as verbal ‘energy packets’ or vibrations which it integrates automatically. The words of the mantra will still work regardless of whether or not they seem to lose their meaning, so relax and go with the flow.
At this point, many of you will be wondering exactly how mantras work. What gives them their power? How do these verbal sounds help to change your life?
There is no easy answer to this question. Some believe that mantras enable you to by-pass the critical conscious mind and program your uncritical subconscious mind with blueprints of wealth, success, health or whatever else it is that your mantra was designed to attract. Others believe that the words of the mantra themselves contain positive energy which re-program your personal energy field to attract specific events or qualities into your life.
To be frank, we may never truly understand how mantras work from a purely scientific standpoint, but that isn’t really the object of the exercise. The objective is to get results regardless of whether or not we understand how those results are obtained. I would therefore encourage you to focus on using your power mantra on a regular basis, and allow the results you see in your life to speak for themselves.

For the benefit of new Create Good Things visitors, let me begin this series on Power Mantras by going over a few basic but nevertheless vitally important principles which form the foundation of all that I discuss here.
First of all, everything in the universe can be reduced to one basic substance – energy. The chair you sit in, the computer screen in front of you and your body itself are all different manifestations of a singular energy.
Secondly, the energy of the universe responds to thought (both conscious and subconscious). What you think on a regular, consistent basis alters the state of your own energy field and determines what conditions will be manifested in your life.
Thirdly, by using the preceding principles to deliberately alter the state of your personal energy field, you can determine for yourself what you want to be manifested in your life. In other words, you change your life greatly just by changing the quality (or vibration) of the energy that you put out into the universe.
The metaphysical theory behind these principles is sound, but theory is not enough. It
is not enough to simply tell people ‘change your thoughts and you will change your life,’ because, although this is true, we also need to address the question of, ‘How do I do that?’
There are many ways of answering this question simply because there are many ways in which one can begin to change the state of his or her own personal energy field. In this series we will focus on one of the most powerful methods I know of which is both easy to understand and simple to implement into your normal daily routine – the use of Power Mantras.
As many of you will already be aware, a mantra is a word or phrase which is repeated over and over during a period of meditation. The purpose of the mantra is two-fold:
To give the meditator something to focus on during the meditation period. Mantras dispel the need for creative visualization skills and the even more difficult ability to ‘empty the mind’.
To generate a specific state of awareness and/or to generate a specific state change in a personal energy field.
Normally, the aim of mantra meditation is to bring about a spiritual shift in consciousness and help an individual to increase their level of spiritual awareness. Whilst this is of course the highest use to which mantra meditation can be put, the technique can also be used quite legitimately for the manifestation of specific qualities or conditions in life.
Power mantras are specific words and phrases which can be used for just such a purpose. By selecting a power mantra which has been designed to change the state of your personal energy field in a certain way, you can effectively re-create your own reality from the inside out simply by using it on a regular basis.
For example, if you wish to experience a greater level of abundance in your life, you could use a power mantra which will help your personal energy field to begin to attract more and more financial success and abundance.
Or, if you wish to experience a greater level of romantic love in your life, you could use a power mantra which will help your personal energy field to begin to attract more in the way of romantic experiences.
The fact is that there is no limit to the applications to which power mantras can be put. In this series you will be given suitable power mantras for increased wealth, luck, health, and many other qualities that you might like in your life.
