Mantras are a powerful tool in meditation, especially for those who might be new to the practice. Meditation isn’t easy\u2014it’s<\/span>\u00a0difficult for the mind to automatically negate all thoughts. We’re distracted by our massive to-do lists, whether it be figuring out new health care plans or preparing for that important four o’clock conference call. But having a mantra is like having a mental home, in that it gives even those with the most cluttered minds<\/a> a\u00a0 place to direct their focus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLangauge creates reality. Words have power. Speak always to create joy.\u201d \u2013 Deepak Chopra<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Look at this way: When we say a mantra, we’re repeating a phrase over and over, allowing the words to seep into our conscious and subconscious mind. Furthermore, these inspiring phrases can be used to instigate huge shifts in our thought patterns.\u00a0For\u00a0instance, if you have trouble with self-worth, you can repeat the mantra,\u00a0\u201cI am enough,\u201d gently reminding yourself that\u00a0yeah, you\u2019re totally doing the best you can. Words have a powerful effect<\/a>, so why not use them to our benefit?<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are 21 of our favorite mantras, all provided by meditation instructor Light Watkins and his 21-Day Meditation Challenge<\/a>. (Highly recommended!) These mantras can be used at anytime, and in whatever order you choose. Find one that speaks to you, and let your brain relax.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
