A Mantra is a word or a group of words spoken, chanted or sung
that can create physical or spiritual transformations. Spoken
words have certain vibration frequencies that can alter energy.
In many cultures Mantra’s are so prevalent and important because
they are formulas of invocation. The word "mantra" is derived
from two Sanskrit words. The first is "manas" or "mind," which
provides the "man" syllable. The second syllable is drawn from
the Sanskrit word "trai" meaning to "protect" or to "free from."

free from the mind. Mantras, or simple chants, are short phrases
packed with energy and intention —specifically designed to
generate powerful sound waves that promote healing, insight,
creativity, and spiritual growth. Sound is just a vibration in a
medium such as air and water. In fact, modern physicists state
that all matter in the entire universe may be observed as
vibrations of energy. This theory is in congruence with the
ancient Hindu assertion
