The 3 Types of Mantras
Grounding Mantras
A Grounding Mantra helps us remain calm and unflappable in stressful situations. It also helps us avoid making rash ego-driven decisions or making knee-jerk harmful actions based on intense, blinding desires to get something or avoid something.
Transcending Mantras
A Transcending Mantra helps us to raise our awareness above the mundane material world to see the world beyond its rudimentary sensory objects — to experience the unchanging, underlying presence which animates all.
Purposeful Mantras
A Purposeful Mantra brings meaning to our lives through our life’s work and motivation. A Purposeful Mantra states exactly what we do for the benefit of others and is unique to each individual. This mantra, once defined, makes it difficult to go back to our mundane activities and highly prioritizes only those things in support of our life’s work.
