The term ‘Mantra’ is derived from two Sanskrit words. ‘Manas’ which means mind and ‘trai’ means to free from. Therefore, mantra stands for ‘free from the mind’ as mantras are the powerful tools that can liberate your mind. Each word or sound in a mantra has a specific effect and when you chant a mantra, it stimulates certain parts of the brain that release chemicals which lead to a more relaxed state of consciousness. They also have the power to work positively to change our life situations. Here are a few mantras that can help you attain positivity and make you feel at peace:
