For centuries people have used power words, formulae or holy syllables in order to delve into their inner feelings and to resonate with the divine. Meditation using mantras helps to free oneself from the many disruptive influences to our awareness. This path builds upon the fact that the universe and all that lives in it, consists of sound vibrations. Mantras are ‘mind power encased in sound’. This mind power is used intensively in all cultures. Christine Stecher maintains a neutral perspective and does not only place the focus on the birthplace of all mantra practice: India. In fact, in the lexical part, she is able to present an overview that reflects the richness of the mantra world in all spiritual traditions. Due to the wealth of background information and the clear, practical instructions, the mantras become a helpful accompaniment in daily life.
