Using Power Mantras
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.
