How do Mantras help us?

First of all we all need mantras in our lives. What a mantra does is, first cleanses your mind of any thought you have at that time - it could be positive or negative. So, if say you were happy or sad when u started reciting the mantra, while and after reciting it you will be peaceful and not thinking of your thought. You will be surprised even erasing the happy feeling will make you peaceful. Anyway, point is “any” mantra you recite will distract you. Now on top of that if your mantra has a positive meaning, that will then have a positive impact on you. All these personal development coaches also teach us mantras in a way. Only thing is these mantras are one dimensional called positive affirmations say I am a millionaire 🙂. There is more to spiritual mantras like say OM. They have another dimension to it like the sound it makes which has a positive effect on you as well. So mantras are important to not just forget your sorrows, to relieve you from pain, but help you even handle success or happiness well. Done right I heard it can take you to moksha or enlightenment… happy mantras guys!
