This is a renowned spiritual teacher's guide to calming the mind with a mantram. The mantram, or mantra, is a short, powerful spiritual formula from the world's major traditions. Repetition of the mantram is a simple but highly effective spiritual practice that can be used at work and at home, fitting naturally within any faith, philosophy, or lifestyle. Examples of mantrams are Rama, Rama, used by Gandhi, or My God and My All, repeated by St. Francis of Assisi or Om Mane Padme Hum.Easwaran taught the use of the mantra for over 40 years as part of his passage meditation program. He explains how the mantra works, and gives practical guidelines for using it to focus our thoughts and access deeper resources of strength, patience and love. The mantra can help us replenish our energy, release creativity and heal old conflicts. These resonant phrases work equally well for parents with young children, colleagues at work, couples in a relationship, in illness or depression, and even at the time of death. And Easwaran shows how repetition of the mantra can open the door to a life that is increasingly meaningful and fulfilling.
