When you meditate, have you ever noticed that your thoughts are racing all over the place? If this describes you, employing a mantra can help you focus during meditation by calming your mind and drawing positive energy! Mantras might be many words long, however, the best mantras are just one word long. Chanting a mantra of just one word can have profound effects on an individual. Mantras are commonly employed in yoga and meditation practices. Return your entire focus to your chant if you notice that your thoughts are straying. That being said, chanting certain mantras either aloud or silently while in meditation is beneficial. This will assist in stilling your racing thoughts. Let us check out 10 powerful one-word meditation mantras to reduce stress and anxiety.
