All over the world, people meditate and recite mantras (chanting the name of God), whether it be Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam or Christianity. Reading mantras is a mystical and magical experience, because through chanting and meditation, the body turns into a temple, a divine instrument. To recite mantras, you need to breathe correctly, properly relax and be in a certain state of mind.

Steps

1. 1 Choose a mantra. Basically, mantras consist of chanting the divine name, religious Jews chant the secret names of God such as Yahweh, Adonai and Elohim. Indian yogis repeat the names of Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma and many other gods and goddesses. For Christians, an ancient way of expressing love for God is the repetition of the names of Jesus and the Mother of God, as well as singing addressed directly to the Lord. Choose the type of mantra that suits you.

3. 3 Sing and listen to your body's signals. Are you nervous when chanting mantras? Is your voice very quiet and are you afraid that someone will see you while singing? Is your throat too tight? Are you reading from the depths of your heart or from your head? Are you focused, focused, in harmony with yourself and equally responsive to the needs of your heart and your mind? Are you reading too loud? Is your ego trying to interfere with the process? Are you chanting a mantra so that others can hear you doing it, or do you want to become a divine power and let that power pass through you?
