Mantra practice, or the repetition of root sounds, has the ability to
silence the activities of the ego, silence instantly mental chatter,
unify the energy system into a set of creative vibrations, cut through
negative states of mind, put the breath into a rhythmic pattern, stabilize
the consciousness, refresh the stressed nervous system in a short time
and connect the energy system to a higher frequency vibration. All of
this is accomplished with a minimum of effort and a minimum of ego consciousness
throughout the practice.
The most powerful Mantras utilize root sounds, not ordinary language
or words. Root sounds are universal sounds which constitute the vibrations
of particular processes. These root sounds were discovered in the most
ancient past by practitioners at the highest level of awareness.

There are root sounds for attracting, repelling, removing obstacles,
healing illness, generating compassion energy and so on. The list is
as vast as the creation because every living being and every energy
process is a particular set of vibrations unique to that process.
Vibration is also a connecting link between dimensions. All energy is
vibration. As one reaches the limits of physical consciousness, mantra
practice begins to lay the interdimensional bridges for ‘Crossing
the Great Water’ as the I Ching puts it.
Mantra practice introduces the very important factor of numerical rhythm
in energy work. The I Ching calls rhythms ‘helpers’ because
they are able to take over energy processes and carry them out without
the intervention of the ego. When a rhythm is active we don’t have
to do anything and in the process become tireless because Creative Energy
is flowing with a minimum of effort.
Of all energy practices Mantra has the distinction of being the most
versatile because it can be carried out internally in the midst of any
situation or emotional state.
