Tibetan mantras: types and rules of use

Tibetan medicine is known all over the world, but Tibetan mantras, unfortunately, do not have such popularity. Although fans say that their strength is truly unique. What mantras are, what they are and how to use them correctly, we will tell you in detail in this article.

The mantra of the monks of Tibet is a powerful prayer, the power of which lies in faith in it itself. That is, the more a person believes in the spoken words and the more confident he is of a successful outcome, the more likely it is that everything will come true. And this is precisely where the main feature lies. A mantra is a powerful prayer, or rather a prayer. For each occasion of life there is its own song, namely the song. This is the second feature - the mantras are not just spoken, they are chanted. The third feature lies in the fact that, unlike the mantras of other religions, these must be uttered in an undertone.

There are three more features of the Tibetan mantras.

• Each prayer has its own strict purpose. If it is used for some other purpose, then there will be no success. Among them there are those that are read in strict solitude, and there are those that must be pronounced simultaneously with several people at once. Usually their number is strictly regulated.
• Each prayer is said a certain number of times. Depending on the species - from 7 to several thousand. At the same time, it is believed that the more times a mantra is uttered, the more powerful its effect becomes.
• Some of these Tibetan prayers do not need to be recited. - they must be listened to carefully and best of all during the meditation period.

There is another interesting feature - the Tibetan monks themselves sincerely believe that if a mantra is recited on a rosary, then its effectiveness increases. In this case, the best option is if the numerical repetitions of the prayer are multiples of 7. It is these secrets of mantras that should be taken into account by those who decide to resort to their help and improve their lives.

However, it is worth remembering that mantras are not a 100% effective way to solve all problems. Even the full implementation of all the recommendations does not guarantee the fulfillment of the plan. Here is the best proverb that says that everything will be as you believe in it.

There are currently over 100 different Tibetan prayers. Among them there are those that are suitable exclusively for choral singing, for example, a hundred-voiced mantra or exclusively male or female chants. However, among all this abundance, there are those mantras that are most popular.
