My meditation with Mantra
Last night and this morning again I practiced Buckland's Meditation with a Mantra: Inhale: "I am", Exhale "Peace and Power". In a natural way I started seeing colors, first black, then light blu and then all the colors of the rainbow. I slept great and I feel invincible :)

Mantra in English
Meditation mantra is a very powerful technique to heal your body as well as mind. The Saints and yogis have been trying this method for thousands of years, but modern science has reaffirmed the magic of mantra quite recently. However, many people still reject it, just because the word "mantra" sounds like a weird, and unusual term. My suggestion for you is that you must try it before you reject it.
What Exactly Is It?
Before I give you a deep insight into the healing effects of meditation mantra, let me explain what exactly it is. It is a scientific technique of using "sound" in a way that eventually puts your mind and heart at ultimate peace. Many people take the term "mantra" as a religious thing, but you will be happy to know that you do not need to change your religion or become religious at all in order to use this technique. Mantras are nothing but a sound that you have to repeat over and over again. This repetition must be done in a way that it should become a part of your consciousness. When you practice this wholeheartedly, you will find that this constant repetition has freed your mind and you will experience ultimate peace of mind - as if you are now aware of the unknown. This is a state of mind when it becomes very easy for you to connect with your soul. If you have never experienced the universal consciousness, the meditation mantra can help you achieve that.
Mantras In English
As mentioned earlier, mantras are nothing but a sound. You can use whatever word you like to utter. However, make sure that the words or phrase you have chosen is meaningful. For example, the best way to practice meditation mantra in English is to say "I am" during an inhalation and say "at peace" during your exhalation. Practice this for an hour or so and you will soon be able to experience true inner peace and happiness. If you do not want to repeat a long phrase, you may simply practice "I am" during your inhalation and exhalation. Some other common mantras in English may include the following.
"All is well",
"I open to What IS",
"Peace to all",
"Love",
"I surrender to your will"
Besides that, you can even use a poem as a meditation mantra. For example, there is a very popular Tibetan Prayer that is also prayed in English as -
"May I be filled with Loving Kindness
May I be Well
May I be Peaceful and at Ease
May I be Happy"
Mantras In Sanskrit
The most common mantras for meditation come from Sanskrit. Some of the common Sanskrit mantras and their English meaning are as follows.
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti - Peace, peace, peace
Tat Tuan Asmi - I am that I am
Aham Brahmasmi - I am the creative force
Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya - I surrender to/join with the divine will
Sat Nam - Truth
OM - the sound of the Universe

Soham Mantra Meditation
Natural mantra: The Soham mantra is a natural mantra because it is already part of your nature.
Sooooo... is the sound of inhalation, and is remembered in the mind along with that inhalation.
Hummmm... is the sound of exhalation, and is remembered in the mind along with that exhalation.
Universal mantra: The Soham mantra has been called the universal mantra because of the fact that its vibration is already a part of the breath, and everybody breathes. Sooooo... is the sound of inhalation, and Hummmm... is the sound of exhalation.
Other names or designations: The mantra is also designated as Hamsa, Hansa, Sohum, So Ham, or So Hum.
Hamsa mantra: The Soham mantra is also called the Hamsa mantra. Hamsa (or hansa) poses the question, Who am I? Soham provides the answer, I am that.
I am that: While the English translation may not be as important as the quality of the sound vibration, Soham translates as I am that. When remembered repeatedly, it declares I am that I am that I am that I am. Remembering the Soham mantra often during the day can be a very useful practice.
The finest bridge between body and mind: Breath is a bridge between the body and the mind. When trying to meditate it is extremely common to have tension in the muscles and noisy thoughts in the mind. The nervous system is the arbiter between the tense body and the noisy mind. One of the best ways to regulate that nervous system, and in turn the body and mind, is through the breath. This has been known by the Yogis for thousands of years, and has also come to be widely known in recent years by the modern medical and psychological community.
Value of Soham and breath: One of the finest, easiest, and most direct ways to train the breath, and in turn, regulate the nervous system, relax the body, and quiet the mind is through Soham mantra practiced at a steady, slow speed, with exhalation somewhat longer in duration than the inhalation.

Mantra
Mantras are energy-based sounds. Saying any word produces an actual physical vibration. Over time, if we know what the effect of that vibration is, then the word may come to have meaning associated with the effect of saying that vibration or word. This is one level of energy basis for words.
Mantras create thought-energy waves. Mantras start a powerful vibration which corresponds to both a specific spiritual energy frequency and a state of consciousness in seed form. Over time, the mantra process begins to override all of the other smaller vibrations, which eventually become absorbed by the mantra. After a length of time which varies from individual to individual, the great wave of the mantra stills all other vibrations. Ultimately, the mantra produces a state where the organism vibrates at the rate completely in tune with the energy and spiritual state represented by and contained within the mantra. At this point, a change of state occurs in the organism. The organism becomes subtly different. Just as a laser is light which is coherent in a new way, the person who becomes one with the state produced by the mantra is also coherent in a way which did not exist prior to the conscious undertaking of repetition of the mantra.
Mantras are tools of power and tools for power. The mind expands, deepens and widens and eventually dips into the essence of cosmic existence. On its journey, the mind comes to understand much about the essence of the vibration of things. And knowledge, as we all know, is power. In the case of mantra, this power is tangible and wieldable.

So, matra gives you power and quiets the mind? Or rather quiets the mind and with a quiet mind you have the power? Let me try it out and get back to you...

Today, realize what you have.
We tend to give more importance to chaos than blessings. We think about what we don't have, not what we do have. Or who doesn't love us, not who does. Or who is fighting with us, not who has our back.
Today, realize what you have.

Thought creates.
"The moment someone learns and realizes that thought creates they become a magick user."
