A mantra is therefore an instrument of the mind, a powerful sound or vibration that you can use to enter a deep state of meditation. Mantras are the repetition of words and phrases of special significance, and can be said either out loud or internally.All of the spiritual paths have some version of mantra. To name just a few well known examples, Hinduism has the Gayatri mantra, Buddhism Om Mani Padme Hum, Christianity the Jesus Prayer, and Islam the Sufi dhikr.
