How does using a mantra quiet the mind during meditation?
During meditation, you are not actually quieting the mind but are entering deeper levels of awareness and silence that always exist beyond the noisy mental chatter. A mantra is a sound or vibration that allows the mind to experience this peace and stillness. As you silently repeat your mantra, the mind sympathetically resonates with the mantra’s subtle energetic impulses. The resonant structure of the mantra mimics the fundamental properties of the field of pure awareness, taking you into that timeless, spaceless field of all possibilities.
