Vedic meditation is based on the idea of using a ‘Mantra’, which means
‘mind vehicle’. It is a tool that takes your mind from one place to
another – from the busy realms of your life to a quieter place that lies
covered up behind all the hustle and bustle.
A mantra is a calming sound that is silently repeated in the mind while
practising this form of meditation. It is the key to putting the mind in a
quiet state and allowing your body to feel calm and restful.

meditation trainer.

As a practitioner, you do not have to share your mantra, as it has been uniquely
selected for you. The Bija mantra has supreme significance in this meditation
technique because the success of your meditative sessions depends upon it.
Different types of sounds might address particular aspects of your being, but it is that
one right ‘seed’ that moves you towards a greater balance.
According to the Vedic history, your personal Bija mantra is the sound that was
vibrating in the universe during your birth. Hence, it is highly specific for each person.
Your mantra will resonate with your nature and harmonize with your way of life. The
promised results of Vedic meditation will depend upon the selection of the most
suitable mantra by your trained instructor.

Regular mantras might be good thoughts to keep in your mind, but in the context of a
meditation setting, they are bound with meaning and play a role in keeping your mind
active. For example, if your mantra is – “May all living beings be happy”, you will
naturally start ruminating about that thought and delve into its deeper meanings. You
will explore the reasons why living beings may not be happy, or what happiness
means.
On the other hand, Vedic mantras have no intention or meaning, and they make the
mind travel from a task-oriented focus to subtle and quieter levels of thinking. Since
there is no real agenda behind the chanting, the mind gradually settles into a blissful
state of complete stillness and awareness.
