Guiding us into a calm mind and concentrated mind, mantras work by substituting beneficial or even sacred words for the tangle of thoughts. Holding attention on the mantra can prevent the mind from ruminating over the past, or spinning about possible futures. We explore two examples of mantra in this guided meditation. Please enjoy this ancient practice. This is part of a series by Jan Chozen Bays MD, a longtime Zen teacher, and pediatrician.
