Mantras to meditate
OM (AUM)
Om is a sacred sound of Hinduism . It is the combination of three sounds (a, u, m), which in turn have different meanings and interpretations. This is the trinity of Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu, it means the Universe, the absolute, and it is the vibration of the Universe.
This mantra for meditation can be sung or recited at any time, it should only be done in a quiet place . It is ideal to do it before or after a yoga or meditation session.
Singing the Om mantra quickly for several minutes activates blood circulation and activates the body. Reciting it slowly helps to relax and reduce stress.
OM AH HUM
Om Ah Hum is a Buddhist mantra that commonly precedes other mantras. When singing it, the place where you are going to meditate is cleaned. Its sound is a blessing, it helps increase awareness and concentration.
"Om" is the highest expression of consciousness, "Ah" is the symbol of the primary state of the spirit, the mother, the feminine aspect, is also the unborn, the essential state of the Void. "Hum" is the smallest and most indivisible sound unit and is the descent of Om's universality to the human heart.

Personal mantras
A mantra can be created by anyone to meditate or simply to recite at times when they need to be calm or stronger. Some simple words or phrases such as "Peace", "I trust myself", "I accept and approve myself", "I am here and now" function as mantras that can be recited or sung at any time.
You can even recite mantras to meditate that have no meaning, simply in order to stay focused, quiet the mind and encourage good emotions.
As we have pointed out at the beginning, the important thing is to do it regularly, but the mantras must also be read, recited or sung keeping the attention on the sounds, without paying attention to the surrounding noise, to the external objects or to the thoughts themselves.
