Why do I promote mantras and support the mantra meditation movement om Phuket? What are they, how do they work, and how to use them?
A mantra is a special set of words in Sanskrit, presented as sounds, which are used to work with the brain, develop personality, establish relationships, and much more. Hundreds of thousands of mantras are known, but their number tends toward infinity, as they are constantly being discovered, adapted, and one mantra gives rise to new ones.
The Vedas are over 5000 years old, and mantras have existed for just as long. They are used both for spiritual growth and in everyday life. Each mantra sounds differently, creating unique vibrations that affect the mind and body.
The most common use of mantras is to calm the mind. They are especially useful when decisions, problem-solving, brainstorming, and forecasting are happening 24/7. A mantra is a key that helps stabilize uncertainty and allows you to make decisions with calmness.
This is an absolutely safe mechanism. You don’t even need to understand the meaning of the mantra or tie it to religion or esotericism. It works on its own.
Several dozen mantras are widely known and used around the world, regardless of nationality or worldview.
Even MRI scans show that mantras stimulate areas of the brain related to concentration and a positive mood. Research confirms that repeating mantras reduces cortisol levels (the stress hormone), slows down breathing, and reduces heart rate. The sound created by mantras activates the vagus nerve, which is responsible for relaxation.
In our digital world, studio recordings of the most popular mantras are available. And if you get the chance to attend an offline event with mantras, without any religious context (whether it’s an international concert or a meditation), the effect manifests even at the physical level.
If you knew how many words of gratitude, joy, and emotion guests of mantra meditations in Phuket express, you would be amazed at how it works. I wish everyone could attend a mantra concert or meditation at least once.
No special skills are needed — just listen and, if possible, repeat. The mechanism activates on its own.
