How do you practise mantra meditation?
Sit comfortably, say the word once so you know its sound, then repeat it silently in an easy rhythm, often once per breath. When you notice you have drifted into thinking, return to the word without scolding yourself. If silent repetition keeps sliding into thought, say it under your breath for a while. In StillMind’s guided sessions the voice says the word once, then leaves the repetition silent and yours.
